Brenne, and asked him iE he had any objections. Mr. Brenne said he had none
and Mr. Clark said he dial not hear from any, other neighbors. Mr. Kemper noted
that the addition would add additional privacy to the Kondrick's back yard.

are going to drop the driveway about 2-3,feet and the new garage will fit right
on 'top of the driveway and they will be able to drive right into the new garage
instead of turning, as they do now. Mrs. Gabel asked if the roof lines are going
to be matched. Mrs. Kondrick said they are going to leave them level and there
will be storage space above the new garage. Shealsosaid her husband.talked to
the neighbors and none of them voiced any objections. Mr. Barna noted that.
