• existing and proposed site improvements. <br />Dr. Schiffman said that he and his wife had studied several options for getting a <br />double garage on the site and he described why he was not in favor of any of the <br />proposals presented by Mr. Carlson because they were not as aesthetically <br />pleasing and nor functional for the current house and yard layout. <br />Following the commission's discussion of the proposal, Commissioner Treadwell <br />moved to recommend approval of the variance with the findings as described in <br />Planning Commission Resolution 95-07. Commissioner Wilcox seconded the <br />motion. <br />Commissioner Kuettel stated that he could not support the resolution in support of <br />the variance as there are other building options available to the applicant and <br />therefore there is no demonstrated hardship to support the variance request. <br />Commissioner Treadwell argued that the lot is unique in shape, that the setback <br />encroachment is minimal, and that the other locations for the garage would more <br />significantly impair sightlines along the two abutting streets. <br />The motion failed for lack of a majority with Commissioners Treadwell and Wilcox <br />voting in favor and Commissioners Barry and Kuettel voting against the motion. <br />• The meeting was adjourned at 8:15. <br />Carla Asleson, City Planner <br />Dee Swenson, Recording Secretary <br />
