March 27, 2007
Agenda Item B: Garage Reconstruction — 205 N. Bonham Drive.
Mr. Hoover presented the history on the property and the applicant's request. He stated that the
building, as it stands, is substandard and doesn't meet the Code. Mr. Hoover stated to construct
only a garage will be allowed, but recommended not approving the construction of a 20 -ft. high
structure.
Mr. Dentler asked what the applicant plans to do with the structure, and whether it fits in to the
plan for the CBD. Mr. Hoover responded that it was unknown, but if it is used for storage or as
an apartment as it once was, it would not be an allowable use.
Mr. Hoover responded that rebuilding the structure as a 2 -story building is out of character for
the CBD.
Mr. Baumgartner stated he would support rebuilding a 1 -story garage.
Ms. Siemer recommended denying the request and suggested the applicant resubmit the request
as a one story garage only
Motion: Upon a motion by John Baumgartner and a second by Tim Deader, the
Committee voted 4 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED, to deny the request. The
motion carried.

comer of Butler and Coats).
