D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Sideyard Setback Variance - 2579 East Brookview Drive - 7:30 P.M.
a. Chairman Murdock convened the meeting for a public hearing regarding the re-
quest of Mr. David Arnold, 2579 East Brookview Drive, for a sideyard setback var-
iance to construct a garage that would encroach a total of 20 feet into the re-
quired side yard setback of 30 feet. The Clerk read the notice of hearing along
with the dates of publication.
b. Manager Miller presented the staff report with the recommendation the pro-
posed variance be denied due to applicant's failure to substantiate that com-
pliance with code requirement would constitute any hardship and the fact that
other alternative locations for the garage are available that would observe code
requirements.
C. Chairman Les Axdahl presented the following Planning Commission recommendation:
"Commissioner Sherburne moved the Planning Commission recommend to the City
Council approval of the proposed variance due to: 1) irregular shape of the lot;
2) below current minimum corner lot size; 3) signatures of neighbors approving
the request; 4) letter from neighbor to the north requesting the garage not be
built to the north of the property; 5) placement on any other area would further
subdivide an already small lot; 6) the proposal would aesthetically fit the neigh-
borhood better than any other alternative.
Commissioner Pellish seconded. Ayes - Commissioners Waldron, Pellish,
Kishel, Axdahl, Prew, Fischer and
Sherburne.
Nays - Commissioners Howard & Barrett.
Motion carries."
