164 September 25, 1978 held on September 20, 1978, Mr. McLean explained that the Engineer's report had not been received regarding Ulmer's Rice Lake Addition III. He asked Mr. Locher if a public hearing could be set at this time with the stipulation that the plat must be passed at the Oct. 18, 1978 Planning and Zoning Board meeting? Mr. Locher said this was permissable. Mr. McLean moved to set a public hearing for Ulmer's Rice Lake Addition III for October 23, 1978 at 8:30 P.M. dependent upon a favorable approval from the Planning and Zoning Board. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. The Variance request from Mr. Lee Robinson was tabled until a survey with a legal description is received. Mr. Van Kleek had asked for a variance to split a parcel of land of less than 24 acres in size. After talking with Mr. Dobie, the adjoiniyglandowner, he decided to withdraw his variance request. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hughes have requested a variance to add a parcel of less than 24 acres to a parcel they already own. Mr. McLean moved to approve this variance to combdneparcels A,B, &C as described on the survey into one legal description. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion declared passed. Mr. James Spears applied for a variance to keep a fence he has already constructed that is 6' in height from the rear of his house to the front street right -of -way. Mr. McLean explained the ordinance requires that fences not be more than 34 feet in height from the rear of the house to the street right -of -way. However, the Planning and Zoning Board had recommended that the variance be granted for the portion of the fence from the front of the house to the rear of the house only. Mr. McLean moved to grant a variance for a fence 6' in height from the rear of the house to the front of the house and the entire fence must have a 30% air space. Mr. Zelinka seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Mr. Forest Tagg had requested a variance to conduct a sand blasting business on his property. The variance was tabled for further information. Mr. Klenck applied for a variance but sent a letter requesting withdrawal of his request. Mr. Robert Sorg, Jr. applied for a variance for a long driveway over 300 feet in length. Mr. McLean moved to approve this variance with the understanding that the landowner is responsible for the maintenance of the driveway. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. Mr. Menkveld had presented a plat of Caroles Estates II. However, the information was not presented to the Clerk for distribution to the Planning and Zoning Board members and the plat was not considered. Chief Myhre had drawn a map of the hunting boundaries for the Planning and Zoning to consider. No action was taken. El Rehbein & Son had presented a variance to set a house 28' rather than the re- quired 30' from the street right -of -way. The footings were already poured and the Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this variance. Mr. McLean said he could not see any reason to grant this variance since the footings could be changed. Also there are five other lots in this area that also have poor foot- ing conditions and if this variance is granted there may be other requests. The Building Inspector also agreed to work with the builder to make the lots buildable. Mr. McLean noted that if you take into consideration the front step that houses the
