D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Setback Variance - 1869 Birmingham Street - 7:30 P.M.
a. Chairman Anderson convened the meeting for a public hearing
regarding the request of Mr. Thomas Ryan, 1869 Birmingham
Street for a front yard setback variance. The Clerk read the
notice of hearing along with the dates of publication.
b. Manager Miller presented the staff report and stated the exist-
ing.house is a non - conforming structure as it does not meet the
30 foot setback requirement. Since the proposed addition would
add to the non - conforming status of the building and set a preci-
dent for further requests of this nature, denial of the proposal
is recommended.
C. Chairman Les Axdahl presented the Planning Commission recommendation:
"Commissioner Sherburne moved the Planning Commission recommend
to the City Council approval of the requested variance at 1869
Birmingham based on the following findings:
1. To allow a logical energy efficient expansion of an
existing structure;
2. The existing and expanded structure are in conformance
with other structures in the immediate area;
3. The proposed expansion does not impair traffic visibility
