Summary

The council approved a variance allowing a larger garage at 438 Alders Court after the property owner said the addition will house a woodshop and keep vehicles indoors; the vote was unanimous.

The council voted to approve a garage-size and rear-setback variance for a property at 438 Alders Court after an applicant described plans for a woodshop and indoor vehicle storage.

At the meeting the applicant said the new building would match the house and keep cars inside while providing a permanent woodworking space. “Really, all I'm looking for is a woodshop, but I like to park my cars inside,” the applicant said in support of the variance. The presiding official moved to approve the request; the motion was seconded and the council voted in favor.

Council member Hanser and other members said the proposed structure would be in keeping with the property’s appearance and neighborhood character. The council recorded the approval without amendment.
