Docket#14010017V
The design of the extra (unattached)garages included a breezeway to service a functional purpose of
supplying electrical power and natural gas for the garages.The breezeway was included in the
application for the building permit which was approved. However, based on changes determined during
the construction,the breezeway is no longer needed. Electric power will be provided directly by the
electric company and will not be tied to the house electric supply.The gas line will be buried
underground.
The building code requires an unattached garage to be set back 25 feet from the building line and that
an unattached garage be less than 750 square feet in size, both of which would require variances if the
breezeway is deleted.
The unattached garage is of the same materials and look as the attached garage and the house.The
unattached garage will have trees planted as required by the housing development to shield view of the
structure. Because the breezeway is approximately 30 feet behind the building line of the attached and
unattached garages, it will not be visible when looking at the house or the unattached garage from and
angle of more than 100 feet.
Because the breezeway no longer serves a functional purpose and is not readily visible, I am requesting
a variance to delete the breezeway from the building plan.
