MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 12, 1992 current standards. Sykes pointed out that there is enough room to do so. Garske asked if some triangular addition of property from the west would be better. The Planner felt it was better to create one non - conforming lot, than an odd - shaped lot. Carson suggested that as a condition of the variance, the City require a 40 -foot minimum frontyard setback. The Planner felt this was a good idea because houses on either side have larger than minimum front yard setbacks. There was no one from the audience present wishing to comment on this matter. Keis was concerned about setting a precedent with approval of the variance request. Garske pointed out that another applicant would have to satisfy the same requirements. Garske also pointed out that it is possible to satisfy the ordinance requirements without need for a variance, however, that would have resulted in a more unwieldy neighborhood. Mr. Pedersen recommended approval of the property division and variance for lot width as requested by Richard & Virginia Sykes for property at 319 Savage Lane subject to the requirement of 40 foot front yard setback minimum for both lots. Motion seconded by Carson. Motion carried 5 - 2. Drabik and DeLonais voting against. REZONING Messrs.
