MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />SEPTEMBER 9, 1993 <br />Candice Kapsner, 2455 Sunrise Drive, reported that she <br />supported saving as many trees as possible. <br />Keis asked if the driveway could be angled to save the <br />trees. <br />Howe reported <br />lot is on the <br />Lois Martin, <br />preferred to <br />that it could not given the fact that the <br />beginning of the cul -se -sac. <br />2460 Sunrise Drive, stated that she <br />see the trees saved as well. <br />Schletty reported that the original intent of the <br />Schletty Family when the Sunrise Drive extension was <br />platted was to keep as many trees as possible. <br />Schletty reported that this has not always been the <br />case, however, Schletty believed that Mr. Howe has made <br />every effort possible to save trees in the area. <br />Schletty also felt that the angle at which Howe is <br />proposing to set the house fits in which what is going <br />on in the neighborhood. Schletty indicated that he saw <br />no reason not to approve a variance on either the north <br />or the south of the lot. <br />Keis pointed out that the City Planner has not looked <br />at the variance in terms of the south. <br />Schletty pointed out that the house on the south is <br />placed over 10 feet from the property line, and it is <br />the garage that is located nearest the property line. <br />Schletty also indicated that it is a very difficult lot <br />to build a house on, and there are not a lot of options <br />for placement. <br />Keis suggested that the City Planner should look at the <br />issue of the variance on the south rather than the <br />north. Keis asked if there were any other options for <br />placing the house. <br />Howe reported that there were, but then the house <br />didn't fit property on the lot. <br />Keis asked that the property owner to the south be <br />notified that the applicant is now asking for the <br />variance to be located on the south. <br />Schletty recommended approval of a five foot setback <br />variance on the south property line of 2451 Sunrise <br />Drive subject to review by the City Planner of shifting <br />the variance from the north to the south, and <br />requesting City staff to notify the property owner to <br />the south of the change. <br />Motion seconded by Drabik. <br />Page 6 <br />
