VARIANCE & Bernadette Belland, Belland Auto Repair, appeared before the PROPERTY Commission requesting approval of a rear yard setback variance and DIVISION/ a property division/combination. Belland Auto is purchasing a piece COMINATION of property from the railroad which will be combined with the Belland BELLAND property. Belland's would then like to add onto their existing building. AUTO REPAIR Belland also indicated that they have obtained an easement from NSP for construction of an addition onto their building. The City Planner indicated that a rear yard setback variance is still required even though a piece of railroad property is being acquired. The problem with the first application was the proximity and angle of the building to the property line. Roger Stanke, adjacent property owner, reported that he, too, may want to purchase property from the railroad in order that he might add onto his building. Stanke asked if granting the Belland's variance would set a precedent so that a similar variance would be approved for his property. Schletty indicated that variances are considered on an individual basis and there must be a unique situation to justify granting a variance. Page 21
