St. Joseph <br />Mr. Talley presented the staff report and circulated photographs. There was some discussion <br />over the safety issue concerning placing new roof decking over existing decking. Ms. <br />Gallagher asked what the cost would be to renovate the garage instead of demolishing it. Ms. <br />Kopczynski stated that she did not have any figures regarding the garage, she only knows that it <br />was in really bad shape. She further noted that there is parking available to the rear of the house <br />and that by removing the garage the house would gain a small yard which it currently does not <br />have. There was some discussion over the heating elements located in the garage. There was <br />more discussion over landscaping that may be affected by the proposed work. Mr. Oxian stated <br />that since a landscape plan has not been submitted then the issue should be dropped until such a <br />plan is submitted. Mr. Fine asked if the garage is removed would the driveway be removed <br />also. Ms. Kopczynski stated that removal of all or part of the drive is a possibility depending on <br />the desires of potential owners. There was some discussion over a fence located to the rear of <br />the property. Mr. Oxian stated that if the Commission votes to demolish any structure it has be <br />down according to the demolition guidelines. Mrs. Sporleder moved to approve the application <br />as submitted and as recommended by staff with the understanding that the garage is being <br />demolished based on the fact that it has been badly damaged by termites, needs to be rebuilt <br />from ground up, thus, making it economically unfeasible to repair. Ms. Gallagher seconded the <br />motion. The motion passed unanimously. <br />1 <br />
