Homeowner must re-convert garage

The San Jose Planning Department is requiring a Willow Glen resident to either re-convert his garage back to its original two-car garage structure with 150 feet of accessory space or demolish 150 feet of the structure.

Tim Boehme, a property owner at 1008 Ramona Ave., appealed conditions of his special use permit to the San Jose Planning Department on Oct. 3. Boehme asked the planning department to allow him to keep 350 feet of the garage as accessory space, which included plumbing for a bathroom, and to keep the additional 150 feet as a one-car garage. Because the unit had originally been approved as a two-car garage with 150 feet of accessory space, the planning department denied his request.
