1 DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING September 12, 1990 written plans as to how large of a building he would like to construct. An application and copies of the six findings of fact will be sent to Mr. Vigers. VARIANCE FOR ROBERT T. NELSON FOR AN ADDITION ON TO THE HOME ON EAST SHADOW LAKE DRIVE, APPLICATION #90 -50. The applicant, Robert T. Nelson, was one of the first residents in Lakes Addition. Nelson and his wife purchased Lot 15 of Block 4 of Lakes Addition No. 2. The property is located at 6733 E. Shadow Lake Drive and has access to Reshanau Lake. The lot has 108 feet of frontage on the street and approximately 87 feet of frontage on the lake. The Nelson's residence is located at the north side of the lot and has a side yard setback of 15 feet at the front of the house and 12.7 feet at the rear of the home. The garage is located on the south side of the house and has a setback from the south side yard of approximately 38 feet. The Nelson's wish to build a 7 x 24 addition to their home and the only direction possible is north into the 12.7 foot setback. Presently the city's zoning ordinance requires a five foot setback on the house side of the lot and 10 feet on the garage side. To construct their 7 foot wide addition the Nelsons require a variance to build within 5.7 feet of the side lot line. Mr. Miller stated that when the Nelsons' home was constructed, it was without consideration of future subdividing or additions. Mr. Miller added that by constructing the addition, it would not "look goofy ", and would appear to a passerby that normal setbacks had been followed. Mr. Bergeson added that he did look at the site and the home to the north of the Nelsons as quite a distance away. Mr. Bergeson didn't feel that the addition would be distracting to his neighbor. The board felt that this application did meet the six findings of facts. MOTION: Robert King moved to recommend to the city council to grant a variance request to Robert T. Nelson, Application #90 -50 for a small addition to his home. John Bergeson seconded the motion and the motion was approved unanimously.
