MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION • September 8, 1980 The meeting was called to order by Les Larsen. Present were: Bob Blomberg, Mike Heffron, Jim Bourquin, Harold Nilsen, Elving Anderson, Al Stefanson, Erma Olson and the Council liaison. Absent: Jerry Wallin Mr. John J. Welsch, 1915 Arona appeared regarding his request for a swimming pool. He stated that he had not gotten the necessary permission for his fence, in that the original fence was taken down to facilitate his neighbor in installing a pool and he had the new fence put up, as his dog had been running away. Everything seemed in order and the Planning Commission recommended that the pool be approved. The Commission feels that in the future, if possible, they would recommend that a pool and a fence (both of which are required by ordinance) should be all included in the permit, rather than two separate permits and one could be easily overlooked. Mr. Daniel Iverson, 1829 Simpson, appeared requesting a variance for an addition to his garage, three feet from i the side lot line. It is in accordance with his neighbors, who are, in fact, helping him build the garage. Recommended that it be approved. Arthur Kato., 1857 Holton requested a variance that he could increase the size of his garage and have it within two feet of the side lot line. He stated that the roof line will be within the property line and esthetically balanced. Recommended that the variance be approved. Neither Mr. Shafer or Mrs. Letourneau (Shafer) appeared and after some discussion it was decided before any decision could be reached the Commission would like a letter of approval from their ajacent neighbors, regarding the front yard parking situation. Mr. T.A. Salminen, 1740 Holton appeared regarding the agreement between the City Attorney and himself on the proposed use of the south 1/2 of walkway easement. Also present were Mrs. O'Keefe and Mrs. swan. A great deal of discussion ensued and the .Commission recom- mended that the walkway strip be vacated to each of the four adjacent property owners equally, for driveways, to be properly surfaced and maintained, and that the agreement be • waived.
