PUBLIC HEARINGS:

Conduct the public hearing to consider a variance to Section 6-6C-7:1 (Yard Requirements) for the garage addition at 693 Cottage Avenue - DEV-0154-2025

26-0121

Summary

This item concerns a public hearing for a variance request at 693 Cottage Avenue. The property owner, Douglas C. May, is seeking a variance to reduce the required 25-foot rear yard setback to 20 feet to allow for the construction of an attached two-car garage. The existing residence was established prior to the current owner's purchase in 2008. The property owner has been verbally permitted to use a garage on the adjacent property (695 N. Fremont St.) by the previous owner of that lot, but this arrangement is not legally binding and could be lost if the adjacent property is sold. The proposed garage addition is intended to be a functional and reasonable addition to the home while maintaining the remaining 20-foot setback. Letters of support from adjacent neighbors at 695 N. Fremont and 603 Cottage Avenue indicate no objections, and the neighbor at 695 N. Fremont notes that this variance would allow them to raze their current detached garage, which is also non-compliant with the setback.

Citizen Impact

This variance request will allow a homeowner to build an attached garage. It does not involve any new taxes or fees for residents and is a private property matter, though it has neighbor support.
