MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 11, 1996 Brian Carriker, 999 Kohlman Lane, pointed out that he will be able to see the barn from his property. Carriker felt given the size of the structure, it will appear there is another house on the lot. Carriker was concerned about what he would see from his backyard. Knudsen asked if it was an issue of building size or just the building. Carriker replied that size is certainly an issue. Carriker stated he would prefer to see no building back there, and commented that Mr. Battista maintains his yard very nicely. However, his biggest concern was the size of the structure. Carriker felt it was unnecessary to have a building that large to house a Winnebago. Bob Scalze, 969 Beam Avenue, pointed out that the neighborhood was single - family. Scalze felt a building this size indicates some sort of commercial venture like auto repair, duplex, etc. Scalze stated that the building would be visible from his backyard, and felt the building would change the character of the neighborhood. Scalze stated that he had no complaint with the cars, boats, etc. which Mr. Battista has in his backyard. Battista stated that he could use the barn for storing these cars and boats. Bob Scalze indicated that Mr. Battista already has two double garages attached to his house. Schletty asked if Mr. Scalze was opposed to this building specifically or to any building. Bob Scalze replied that he was opposed to this building as designed. Scalze indicated the building was larger than his house, and expressed concern about the attic space and insulated basement proposed. Scalze pointed out that the building is a lot larger than it has to be to store a Winnebago. Schletty informed Mr. Battista that he can appreciate his desire to store his cars and boats, but felt the size of the structure proposed was an issue. Battista reported his idea started out as a pole barn 3 Page 32
