Mrs. Moore stated this building being presented is different from what was originally shown. She also stated this house originally had three two car garages. One garage was taken into the house, so there are still two car garages.

Mrs. Moore stated she would rather not wait for the bushes to grow, but it would be better than nothing, however, would prefer none of the items. Mr. Moore stated not trying to stop Mr. Manzare from building his building; however, we want the code to be followed. If we were to want to sell our property, the potential new buyers would not like all of the buildings visible in our back and side yards. Commissioner Byerly stated for clarity there are issues, but the neighbors and applicant think they can reach a compromise. Commissioner Dudziak questioned the Moore’s regarding what expectations were heard in the beginning?

Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff regarding if there are any restrictions for coverage on a lot? Is this proposal close to those restrictions? Barry LeBaron replied a homeowner can concrete his entire yard if wanting to do so. Commissioner Blassingame questioned staff regarding if a denial or a table would be more favorable for Mr. Manzare to bring this back to the Commission? Commissioner Bartkowski replied Mr. Manzare is trying to comply and make the neighbors happy.

Mr. Manzare replied wanting to do what is best for everybody. He stated wanting to cover all the bases.

Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes – April 10, 2006 Page 5 of 6 Commissioner Byerly questioned if the neighbors work out an agreement regarding the planting of photinas on the property, will this regulation be placed in the SUP? Barry LeBaron stated having issues with affixing a requirement on this SUP for an adjacent property. Attorney Boyle stated the limitations should only apply to the requesting property.
