All Dana

and Phillip Blake want to do is add a storage building to

their back yard.

But since

the storage building is an old tractor trailer body, the

city of Senoia is being very careful before granting any

variance to allow the Blakes to start their project.

During next

Monday's City Council meeting the city is expected to

decide on the Blakes' variance question. Dana Blake told

the council two weeks ago the couple had recently

purchased the trailer bed at an auction in Newnan.

The couple

plans to redo the exterior completely and put vinyl

siding around the structure and add a pitched, shingle

roof.

Instead of

buying a pre-made storage building, the Blakes decided to

go the trailer route simply because it was about $3,400

cheaper.

The storage

trailer would connect to the newly closed-in garage of

the couple's home on Standing Rock Road and Dana Blake

assured the council that they would do every thing

possible to make the structure aesthetically pleasing.

"We've

lived here for about 10 years and plan on retiring here.

We don't want to do anything to lower property

values," she said.

The couple

presented the council with detailed plans of the

building, and said they hoped to have the project

completed within three months.

After

looking at the drawings, Mayor Joan Trammell asked the

council for more time to study the issue before voting on

it.

"I'd

personally like to drive over there and get a better idea

in my mind of what this will look like," she said.
