Wayne Street South Bend, Indiana 46617 East Wayne Rhonda Saunders, Director The homeowner is requesting the removal of the homes present garage that is 20' by 20' and replacing it with one measuring 24' by 30'. The north side is the front of the garage. It is in good condition with only minor problems. The trim board on the northwest corner is splintered at the lower two feet and appears to have been slightly pushed to the right by one or two inches. The garage door is in good shape. The east side is good shape with the exception of a small section of the molding directly under the roof. The west side has one of the glass panels missing. There is some indication of settling of about '/2 inch on the upper left corner of the door. The siding is good. The south side, rear, has one section of siding at the first course that has been pushed out and is broken. Four other sections of the siding at about five feet high have indications of insect damage. The side is in need of paint. The asphalt shingles need to be replaced. It is my opinion that the outside of the structure is sound. The defects are minor and can be replaced with minimum cost. If the project is approved, there is enough room for the expansion.
