ITEM NO. 1 Eitel Residence Modification Permit (PA2015-073)

Jason Van Patten, Assistant Planner, provided a brief project description stating that the request was for a
974-square-foot addition to an existing single-unit dwelling with nonconforming parking. He indicated that the
parking is nonconforming due to the interior dimensions of the garage and that the modification was needed
to allow the size of the addition proposed. Mr. Van Patten indicated that correcting the garage presented
difficulties because it would require an encroachment into the side setback or would result in significant
alterations to the interior living area. He noted that the two-car garage was adequate in size to accommodate
two(2)vehicles.
Applicant Joe Eitel, property owner, stated that he had reviewed the draft resolution and the required
