I. 1806 WINCHESTER AVENUE Louis Ranieri
It was noted that no one was present to address the item.
Ms. Hintz stated that being that this is a corner lot, that the Board proceed
with the item.
Discussion ensued on this matter.

Ms. Hintz. Motion carried unanimously.
II. 1402 SPRUCE STREET Jeffrey L. Rasmussen
Mr. Lamine explained that the appellant is requesting a variance to construct
a detached garage on a corner lot with a 2 1/2 ft. side yard setback, a 23 1/2
ft. front yard setback, and a 2 1/2 ft. rear yard setback. The R -2 Two Family
Residence District requires a 7 1/2 ft. minimum side yard setback, a 60 ft.
minimum front yard setback, and a 25 ft. minimum rear yard setback.
Kathy Rasmussen, 1402 Spruce Street, stated that according to the City Code, it
will not conform. We can only have 2 1/2 ft. from the rear setback, just because
our lot size is not big enough.
Mr. McGee asked if it could be built without any variance?
Mrs. Rasmussen replied no, it could not.
Ms. Hintz asked if it could be placed anywhere else on the lot?
Mrs. Rasmussen replied, no it could not.
Mr. Nitkowski stated that he is familiar with that area.
Mr. McGee stated that this is the standard corner garage problem.
Mr. Nitkowski stated that the dimensions are rather small.
Mr. Ames moved approval of the variance to construct a detached garage on a
corner lot with a 2 1/2 ft. side yard setback, a 23 1/2 ft. front yard setback,
and a 2 1/2 ft. rear yard setback. Motion seconded by Ms. Hintz. Motion carried
4 -0.
With regard to findings of fact, Ms. Hintz stated that the lot pre -dates the
Ordinance. This is the best location for a garage. The Board generally grants
