'Planning and Zoning Board OKrn,� .March 19, 1980 The regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board was called to order by Chairman Reinert on March 19, 1980. Members present;Doocy, Heath. Absent; Prokop, Schwankl, Johnson, Bathke. The minutes of Feb. 20, 1980 were held for lack of a quorum. Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Schumacher to bring the Board up to date on the first item on the agenda. Mr. Schumacher asked Mr. Koch how far his present garage was from the property line at the present time and Mr. Koch said 10 feet. Mr. Schumacher asked if he was only planning to add 5' and Mr. Koch said he wasn't sure - may need another two feet and this would bring the garage within 3' of the lot line. Mr. Schumacher asked how far his son's house was from this garage and Mr. Koch said about 35'. Mr. Schumacher said these are two parcels of land - both lots are old lots. There is two alternatives; to either allow the garage to be built up to the lot line or allow the one lot to transfer 5' to the other lot. One lot would have a frontage of 95' and the other 105'. Considering the lots are of record and they are both over the one acre, Mr. Schumacher recommended that a variance be granted for the transfer of the 5' and that the westerly lot maintain a 5' side yard setback on the garage. There has been no paper work done on this matter. Mr. Koch was asked to apply for a variance for the transfer of this parcel. w ince there is not a quorum at this meeting, Mr. Reinert asked if there were other items on the agenda of this nature. Mr. Schumacher said the only other item was an item scheduled for 9:15 P.M by Mr. Petersen and he is not present at this time. The only item was the request for putting a mobile home on five acres of land and this is not possible under the City ordinances. All other items require some sort of action. Mr. Reinert looked at the Lino Industrial Park plat and felt that most of the requests had been complied with. Mr. Schumacher said this plat will be done in phases with the lots along Lilac to be platted first. They have met all the requirements set forth by the Engineer and the-Planner and has met the Park requirement. The concensus of the Board was this seemed to be in order and felt there was no reason it should not be approved. The next item to be considered was a request for a variance for a long driveway. There was discussion of why a variance was required for a long driveway and if there is not an easier way to handle this matter. Mr. Schumacher felt this request was valid in that the house is to be �uilt on the high portion of the land and this is beyond the legal limits as required by City Ordinance. Mr. Reinert questioned the absence of the members had they called? Mr. Schumacher said Mr. Prokop had called to say he would be unable to attend
