Applicant requests approval to remove an existing detached garage and replace it with an attached garage in the same location. This requires a variance in the side yard setback of 2 feet.

Motion by Cronin, supported by Bress to approve the application as submitted. (Noting there are no changes from the original application, which was submitted April 5, 2000, and there have been no changes in the conditions.) Voice Vote: Ayes: All: Nays: None. Motion Unanimously Carried.

ROUNDTABLE: None.

Motion by Cronin, supported by Gazlay to adjourn at 7:45 PM. Voice Vote: Ayes: All: Nays: None. Motion Unanimously Carried.
