MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 15, 1992 Blesener indicated that this was his last meeting as a City Council Member, and thanked the citizens for the opportunity to serve for the last eight years. Blesener felt that the two newly-elected Council Members would do an excellent job. Scalze acknowledged the good job that Blesener has done as Council Member and the great deal of time that he put into the job. Scalze felt that Blesener should be commended for his performance as Council Member. LaValle agreed. Hanson agreed with Scalze's comments, and indicated that he would miss Blesener, and his willingness to act on issues and keep the meetings flowing. Hanson wished Blesener well in his future endeavors. VARIANCE & Aanson opened the public hearing to consider CUP application for 8-foot Variance for side yard setback 2354 and Conditional Use Permit to expand a non-conforming GREENBRIER single-family house located at 2354 Greenbrier Street JOHN GRABRICK submitted by John Grabrick. Scalze noted that rather than grant the Variance, the Planning Commission has suggested that Mr. Grabrick attempt to purchase some property from his neighbor. Scalze reported that there was a similar situation in 1988, however, in that situation the house was actually encroaching over the property line. A variance was granted in this situation since there was not enough property available to purchase to resolve the encroachment issue. Scalze felt that Grabrick should attempt to purchase property from his neighbor to get the non-conforming situation resolved. Mr. Grabrick reported that he did attempt to purchase property from his neighbor, Mr. Ryan, in 1988. At that time Mr. Ryan indicated that the lot was too small and he did not wish to sell a portion of it. Grabrick reported that he recently made a similar offer, but Mr. Ryan has not yet responded to that offer. Grabrick pointed out that if Mr. Ryan refuses to sell, there is nothing that he can do.
