Mr. Kenny has purchased the needed land from Midwest Cable and the "situation has a happy ending." CONSIDERATION OF AGENDA ITEM #10, VARIANCE FOR BOB MOSER John Miller explained that a survey for the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fix who live on Fawn Lane has been constructed within the five foot distance to the property line. The owners want approval from the board for the 4.3 foot distance to the property line, which is on the garage side. At the last meeting the board recommended that a neighbor be contacted to see if they would be willing to sell a small portion of land. The letter from the neighbor is enclosed and they do not wish to sell any of their land. Does the board wish to grant a variance, or should they seek some other option. Monika Slatten asked if they were to sell their home would that be a deterrent to the sale. Sally Kuether said she did not think this would affect their ability to sell and suggested they apply for a variance. Motion: John Bergeson moved to recommend to the city council approval of a variance for a home that is 4.3 feet from the property line based on the finding of fact in the staff report. Monika Slatten seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF APPLICATION FOR A MINOR SUBDIVISION FOR THE ESTATE OF ELSIE WENZEL DRB APPLICATION 91 -56 Sally Kuether addressed the board, she showed the board a survey of the homestead and said the applicants for the estate wish to sell the home because they need to create funds for the estate. They intend to sell one acre which will leave 37 acres remaining in the estate. John Miller said some buildings were to close to the property line, but they have a variance and other buildings will be destroyed. 5
