WHEREAS, following a public hearing on the application, the Grant Township Planning Commission has recommended granting

for construction of the accessory building is the best location on the parcel to build the structure.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of Supervisors of the Town of Grant as follows:
 
1.   The Applicant is granted a variance so as to allow him to construct an accessory building closer to the front lot line than the
principal building.  Said variance is granted subject to the following conditions:
 
                    a.          The new garage shall be built in such a fashion and in such a style as compliments the house.
                    Specifically, the exterior of the building shall match in color and construction the residential home on
                    the property.
 
                    b.          The new garage shall be built in a location as depicted on the site plan submitted with the
                    application.  Additionally, the building shall be built no closer than five (5) feet from the side property
                    line.
 
Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Grant this 6th day of August, 1996.
