Planning & Zoning Board June 14, 2017 Page 5 APPROVED MINUTES Mr. Stoesz asked if Lot 1 would be able to put a fence on the left hand side. Ms. Larsen confirmed that they would be able to and that there is no separation requirement between a fence and a house. Tim Anderson (applicant), 547 Lois Lane, confirmed the distance shows 17 feet on the east side of the property. Mr. Laden expressed concerns with the setback. Mr. Anderson said the intent is to have the driveway on the east side to save as many trees as possible and to look aesthetically better. Mr. Laden stated that it is going to put your living space closer to the garage than what the city normally allows. Mr. Anderson stated that they will place the pad as far as possible from the lot line. Mr. Laden asked if the city would want to consider a greater setback, be it a house or garage on lot 2. Mr. Anderson stated that all garages are set on the east so they would not be a concern. Ms. Larsen stated that staff has no concerns with setbacks or garage placement. Ms. Larsen questioned if the Board was suggesting a mandatory 10 foot setback regardless of a house or garage. Mr. Laden stated if it’s a garage, it would only have to be 5 feet. Mr. Stimpson supported Mr. Laden’s point by saying all homes in Haley Manor have adjacent driveways, this development would be opposite of that. Mr. Anderson stated his driveway is on the east side, as well as the others. Mr. Root clarified that 565, 571, 583 all have different garages to support Mr. Laden’s point. Mr. Laden thought that would be more desirable and to maximize the space between the two since we are coming up short. Mr. Anderson stated his intent is to direct the home builder to construct the garage on the east side. Mr. Laden suggested the house be on the east side for greater separation. Ms. Larsen stated we could require 10 feet on lot 2 regardless of if it’s a garage or house. Chair Tralle stated that the person who builds the house can decide if it is on the right or left. Chair Tralle declared the Public Hearing open at 7:21 p.m. There was no one present to speak. Mr. Masonick made a MOTION to close the Public Hearing at 7:22 p.m. Motion was supported by Mr. Stoesz. Motion carried 6 - 0. Mr. Evenson made a MOTION to recommend approval of Golden Acre. Motion was supported by Mr. Stoesz. Motion carried 6 - 0. D.
