Chairman Neuer addressed Mr. Mau and asked him if he was correct in understanding that his garage was destroyed in a storm and because of the narrow plot of land it does not meet the setbacks. He also stated that since the original time the garage was built the regulations changed. Mr. Mau said that was correct. Mr. Buechler asked if there was any difference between the garage they are proposing and the existing one. Mr. Mau stated that the garage they are proposing will have a different style of roof. He said that instead of a roof that slants back it will be pitched to the side. Chairman Neuer asked if there would be any flood lights on the building and Mr. Mau said no because there was no electrical power in the garage. Mr. Sussman asked Mr. Mau if he was building on the same footprint. Mr. Mau replied yes but they are laying a new foundation because they want it done the right way. There were no questions for Mr. Mau 8
