The minutes of the April 27, 1992 meeting were unanimously approved as written. REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE IN ~9-2.04[1)(c) OF THE ZONING CODE FOR 1391 WEST IDAHO. Property owner, Lee Barry, asked the commission to approve his request for a variance of two feet in the required five foot west sideyard setback of five feet to construct a new double garage in • place of an existing single car garage. The variance is needed to protect a flowering crab tree in the rear yard and to maintain an open view from the rear windows of the dwelling. Being a commission member, he then excused himself from further discussion and voting. After some discussion, Finegan moved to approve the variance as long as it met the conditions for granting a variance and did not interfere with the visibility from the neighbor's house. The motion carried unanimously. REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE IN ~9-4.01[4]1 c1 OF THE ZONING CODE FOR 2097 WEST FOLWELL Barbara Shiels and Frank Preese are planning to build a new home on the vacant lot for 2097 Folwell Avenue. Ms. Shiels presented their request for a variance in the east sideyard requirement of 1 1/2 feet from the required 5 feet in order to save an existing 20" caliper elm tree on the property. The location of the structure on the trapezoidal lot makes a variance necessary for a small portion of the deck area on the rear of the structure. After discussion by the commission, Barry moved to grant the variance on the condition that the variance be allowed only for the rear 5 feet of the structure and that the remaining portion of the structure must meet the setbacks in the zoning code. Salzberg seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
