Jf an addition were to be put on Mr. Sandahl's neighbor's house, the City would not <br />check to be sure that the pool is 35 feet away. The new ordinance would permit the Sandahls' <br />request to Locate the pool 10 feet from the adjoining property without a variance. Staff is <br />unable to find unique circumstances or a hardship of the property configuration. The <br />Sandahls could meet current 1oidinance requirements or make the pool smaller. If this <br />variance is approved, staff recommends that all other setback requirements be met. Letters <br />from 12 neighboring property owners, including the neighbor immediately adjacent, have been <br />received There are no objections. <br />Chair Schaps asked if the applicant is aware ofthe ordinance change. <br />Mr. Crary Sandahl stated that the pool was approved four months ago, and they were <br />scheduled to put it in two weeks ago. When he learned ofthe ordinance change, he decided <br />it would be well worth going through this procedure to move the pool and be able to have a <br />full view of it from the house. <br />Mr. Johnson noted that the Sandahls offer child care in their home. <br />Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to recommend approval of the variance request to allow pool <br />construction 10 feet from the side property line with the condition that the pool equipment <br />be located adjacent to the existing dwelling. Ms. Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried <br />6-0. <br />Mr. Herr was excused and left the meeting at 9:37 p.m. <br />Dwayne Cardinal Issue <br />Ms. Wyland stated that Mr. Cardinal owns RBR property on I -35E and 80th Street.
