MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />October 12, 1989 <br />6- bedroom home. Arcilla reported that he currently has <br />a 6- bedroom home and feels that if he is to construct a <br />new home, he should improve upon what he now has. <br />Drabik stated that Arcilia should have made sure that <br />the home he wished to build would fit on the lot prior <br />to purchasing the property. <br />Arcilla stated that the problem is not the size of the <br />lot, but rather its odd shape. <br />Hedlund stated that the solution to the problem is to <br />design a house that fits on the lot. Hedlund pointed <br />out that the lot adjacent to Mr. Arcilla's lot is <br />vacant and a corner lot. Hedlund was concerned that a <br />precedent will be set in whatever is done for Mr. <br />Arcilla. <br />The City Planner pointed out that the Ordinance <br />provides for a variance for shallow lots. <br />Hedlund stated that a 4,000 square foot house could be <br />designed for the Arcilla lot without need for a <br />variance. <br />Graf again stated that he was opposed to the variance <br />as did Mr. Lepsche and Mr. Hedlund. Graf stated that <br />he did not want a home that close to his backyard, and <br />did not feel a variance was warranted just to <br />accommodate the style home Mr. Arcilla wishes to <br />construct. <br />Pedersen asked if Graf was concerned about the setback <br />or his view to the lake. <br />Graf replied that he was not concerned about the view, <br />he did not want a home that close to him. Graf stated <br />that the ordinance was established to prevent homes <br />from being constructed on top of one another. <br />Hedlund again stated that Arcilia chose a house plan <br />that does not fit his lot and felt it unreasonable to <br />expect the neighbors to accept a variance. <br />Arcilla was asked if he would be willing to change the <br />style of the home proposed. <br />Page 8 <br />
