C, PUBLIC HEARING
2. Variance Request (front yard set-back requirement) - 360 East Skillman Ave.
(8:30 P,M,)
a. Chairman Haugan convened the meeting for a public hearing on the re-
quest of Mrs. Constance Logajan for a set back variance. The Clerk read
the notice of hearing along with the date of publication.
b, Manager Miller stated Mrs, Logajan is requesting a 6'6" variance from
the requirement of constructing a building 30 feet from a street right
of way. She wishes to build a garage which will be within 23'6" from the
street right of way. The street is question is Edgemont Street, which is
not an improved street at this time, however it is a dedicated street which
the Council recently determined they did not wish to vacate, If this
street ever does go in, the building in question will violate the 30' set-
back. Staff recommends against the variance, The Planning Commission re-
viewed. the matter and the result was recommendation of denial to the var-
iance request,
c, Chairman Haugan asked if there was anyone present to speak in behalf
of the variance, Mrs. Constance Logajan spoke in behalf of the request,
She stated that when she obtained her building permit for her house, the
former building inspector told her there was a 5' set back from the three
sides of the lot and the 30' set back from the front street, He didn't
mention anything about the side street and she did have her plat map there
with her at this time, She found out about this, only when she came in
for her garage permit, now.
d, Chairman Haugan asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition. None
were heard,
- 1 - 11/11
e. Chairman Haugan called for formal objection. None were heard,
f. Councilman Greavu moved that the variance requested by Mrs.
Constance Logajan to construct her garage 23' 6" from the street right
of way be granted for the reason that there apparently had been a
misunderstanding of the set back requirements when the original
building permit was granted.
Seconded by Councilwoman Olson. Ayes - all.
