MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION October 12, 1989 Arcilla again stated that he wanted to improve on what he currently has and stated that the plan proposed is the one that he prefers. Arcilla stated that he spent a lot of time working on this plan. Pedersen asked if the property was purchased subject to a building permit being issued. Arcilla replied that this was not the case, that he owned the lot. Mr. George Warren, Lakeside Court, stated that he opposed the variance. Mrs. Lepsche stated that she was opposed to the variance since she felt a precedent would be set. Arcilla again stated that it is the shape of the lot that is the problem and the house plan selected is the one he prefers. Drabik stated that the type of house plan Mr. Arcilla prefers is not the Commission's concern. The problem is that the neighbors are opposed to the variance, and it is possible to construct a home on the lot that would conform to setbacks. Arcilla stated that he believes his request meets the conditions as outlined in the City Planner's letter. DeLonais pointed out that the Commission is a recommending body, and final decision will be made by the City Council. DeLonais pointed out that the neighbors have complied with setback requirements. DeLonais felt that Arcilla should have investigated the situation prior to purchasing the lot. Costa felt that Mr. Arcilla could have an architect modify the house plan so that it would fit on the lot. Ms. Drabik recommended that the variance request of Mr. Ely Arcilla to construct a home at 641 Keller Parkway with a 10 foot rear yard setback be denied due to the objections of the neighbors and since the property appears to be large enough for a home to be constructed on it that will conform to setback requirements. Motion seconded by Mr. Herkenhoff. Motion carried 4 - 1. Mr. Pedersen voting against. Page 9
