He also noted that the owner, <br />Mrs. Coussens, was present. There was some discussion over how the new garage would <br />connect to the existing garage and whether or not the window located in the east wall would <br />have to be removed. Mr. Oxian asked if the east wall of the existing garage was to be removed. <br />The owner stated that the wall would remain, however, a door would be cut into it to connect <br />the two garages. Mr. Oxian asked if the window would be moved to the east wall of the new <br />garage. Mrs. Coussens stated that she did not want to install a window because of the difficulty <br />she has experienced with break ins. There was some discussion over the size of the garage. Mr. <br />Oxian asked if the new garage would have overhanging doors. Mrs. Coussens stated that it <br />would. He also asked if the owner wanted to install vinyl siding over the new garage or clap <br />board. Mrs. Coussens stated that she would prefer to install vinyl siding. <br />Mrs. Sporleder corrected an error in the staff report that stated that the existing garage had a <br />gable roof when in fact it has a hipped roof. There was some discussion over the roof <br />specifications and the installation of a window in the east wall. Mr. Talley noted that he has <br />also experienced problems with windows in garages that sit on alleys. He stated that he has <br />installed aluminum conduit on the interior of the window to give better protection with out <br />being visible from the outside. Mrs. Sporleder moved to approve the application as proposed <br />using vinyl siding to match the existing garage and the reinstallation of the east window into the <br />new addition. Mrs. Petrass seconded the motion. Mr. Fine asked if the existing retaining wall <br />would separate the garages or would they connect over the retaining wall. The owner stated <br />that retaining wall would separate the garages and that the new garage would be shorter in <br />height then the existing garage. There was some discussion over the inconsistency of the roof <br />lines and the confusion over how the buildings would connect. Mrs. Sporleder amended her <br />motion giving final design approval to the director upon his review of more accurate drawings <br />and prints which need to include an equal roof pitch and sidewalls. The motion, as amended, <br />passed unanimously. <br />B. Local Landmark <br />1. 1636 Lincolnway West -second reading <br />Mr. Talley presented the staff report and circulated photographs. He noted that there is owner <br />consent for the landmarking of this property.
