Variance, Mike Wise - Fence, 4th Avenue and Main Street - Mr' Kluegel explained that this is a request for a variance to construct a portion of fence on the north side of Mr' Wises home taller than that allowed by the City Code. The request for the variance has come from the County because the County is proposing to acquire additional right-of-way from Mr' Wise and that will bring the right-of-way line within eleven feet of Mr' Wis*s`s home' A fence this high will help mitigate the noise and other effects of the construction project. In addition the City will be acquiring additional right-of-way on the 4th Avenue side of Mr' Wiae`a property and this will pose further hardship on Mr' Wise' Mr' Bisel moved to approve planning item no' 87-5 to include the findings of fact provided by the Planning and Zoning Board' Mr' Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr' StahlberA asked if this fence will in any manner obstruct the view of traffic on Main Street. Mr' Marier explained that the County Engineer has looked at that situation 'and does not feel it will be a problem' Motion carried unanimously. House Move-In, Albert Thiltgen - Mr' Kluegel explained that this is a request to move a house from Hugo to a one acre vacant lot at 7791 - 20th Avenue' The house is proposed to be brought up to code and will be compatible with other houses in the area and will meet all codes regarding set back requirements.
