2. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR GARAGE ENCLOSURE
JAMY DE FEX
1080 N. E. 104th ST.
Since this request was tabled at the last meeting until a more complete
set of drawings are presented, Mr. Rossi asked for a motion to remove
it from the table. Mr. Duffy moved to move the motion from the table,
seconded by Mr. Laubenthal, and passed unanimously.
Mr. LuBien noted that Mrs. DeFex had presented to him an alternative
elevation and floor plan,iwhich she would like to have approved.
Members received copies of this alternate plan.
Much discussion followed. The floor plan will remain basically the same.
There is a substantial difference in the elevation. The latter one .
showing a single entry garage space. Mr. Duffy noted that he has a problem
aesthetically with the option to have a sliding glass door, at the front,
which could effectively be used as another entrance. The garage door is
more pleasing. Mrs. DeFex was advised that the Board in reviewing anyj
and all modifications to houses, must be sure that all homes remain
single family residences, and that the sliding glass door is not aesthe-
tically pleasing and too much like an apartment.
Mr. LuBien noted that Mrs. DeFex indicated to him that she could go
along with his suggested elevation, provided she could keep the side door.
Following further discussion, Mr. Duffy moved to approve the plans as
submitted, with the stipulation that the front elevation will consist of
a garage door without the option of a sliding glass door, seconded by
Mr. Laubenthal.
After further discussion, and query from Mr. McClure, concerning the
side door, and his feeling about the aesthetics of a single garage door,
the motion carried by a 3-1 vote, with Mr. McClure dissenting.
