Ferrata Garage Addition and Stairway
Description
A studio above the garage got a favorable recommendation, but the side-yard stairway just 1.1 feet from the lot line was recommended for denial over the new five-foot emergency access rule.
Impact summary
Adds studio space and safer secondary egress while keeping the structure slightly farther from the neighbor's line than originally proposed.
