C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The South wall of 6548 Channel Road {which is the
garage wall} is 16.2 feet from the living area of the
house to the South• The owner intends to remove his
existing garage door and driveway, and build a new double
garage in the rear• The actual hazard of a garage is
greater than that of a.family room• Therefore,
converting this garage to living area would reduce the
fire hazard exposure to the neighboring house to the
South• The typical separation of two living areas is
20 feet•
Mr. Bona, Mr. Holden, and the Appeals Commission
discussed Mr. Bona's plan. He had a picture of the home
as it presently appeared. He indicated on the.picture the
area where he planned to build a double car garage.
Chairwoman Schnabel asked Mr. Bona when he planned to
begin construction.
Mr. Bona replied that he would start in about six
months• He said that he would build the double car garage
first and then the family room.
Mr. Holden indicated that the two projects would have
to be done at the same time, or at least within a short time
of each other.
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that the intent of
requiring the simultaneous construction would be so the
requestor would not have two garages at the same time.
Mr• Bona indicated to the Appeals Commission that the
present driveway and.curbing would be removed soon and the
driveway would be moved to the new position.
Chairwoman Schnabel wanted to know how Mr. Bona intended
to heat the new addition•
Mr. Bona had no idea at the time.
Mr. Bona explained to the Commission the locations of
the entrances in regards to the proposed family.room•
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to close
the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
Public Hearing was closed at 9:00 P.M.

trees. He stated he didn't take any trees down that didn't have to come down.
Chairwoman Wahlberg asked if the entrance to the garage would come off of Janesville,

they did not.
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Kemper, to close the public hearing. Upon
