uh plotted prior to the July 1st 1989 date so it is subject to footnote a okay to that table okay and the okay so then the Garage Gage right now as it is is it go you go around the back of the house and then go in that like loop around is that what you're doing okay and how will the garage this new garage be configured the same way or it's going to be uh a bit bigger than the existing garage uh the plan is to demolish the existing garage okay uh this one's going to be a little bit deeper and another Bay wider okay and is this a three-car garage or a two yes okay and it's just one foot you're like a one foot encroachment one foot encroachment okay was there any way to do this so that you could you move it back a foot w why does it have to go in one foot he uh the the homeowner would like to keep the back of the house the same plane that it is right now okay uh and in order to make this garage deeper we need to encroach on that one foot okay yeah I see that in the back yeah okay anybody have any questions all right I I I mean I don't think it's an unreasonable request I do kind of wonder why he well why why wouldn't he want to just go back one foot why why did he why did he not want to do that you have any I I really don't
