Motion seconded by Duray. Motion carried 7 — 0. Mr. Rick Thul, 165 East Viking Drive, appeared before the Commission requesting approval of a property division which would divide a 9 foot by 90 foot strip from the property at the rear of 165 East Viking Drive and combine it with that site. Thul pointed out that this property division/combination would result in the present garage building on his property meeting the 30 -foot setback requirement for living space. Mr. Montour recommended approval of the property division/combination as proposed by Mr. Rick Thul for 165 East Viking Drive subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his report dated July 2, 1999. Motion seconded by Barraclough. Motion carried 7 — 0. Mr. John Erdmann, 3075 Edgerton Street, appeared before the Commission requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit so that he can construct garage space on his property up to a maximum of 1,500 square feet. Erdmann reported that he is proposing to house four vehicles and a snowmobile trailer in this garage. He indicated that he currently has two vehicles stored elsewhere and would like to get his belongings on his own property. Keis pointed out that the issue is that the footprint of the proposed garage is significantly larger than the house. Keis also raised the issue of the 15 -foot height limitation for the garage. The City Planner explained that the height of the garage would be determined by averaging the height of the peak with the height of the eave line. The average of these two cannot exceed the 15 -foot height limitation. Page 87
