COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT, BRIAN WESSEL/MARY KAY WYLAND Variance Request, Paul Munoz, 55 Ash Street - Upon adoption of the Agenda, this item was removed. Variance Request, James Brandi, 7057 Rice Lake Court - Ms. Wyland stated that Mr. James Brandl, 7057 Rice Lake Court, is requesting a variance to allow the construction of a 32 x 28 detached garage with a setback of 19 feet from the property line. The Zoning Ordinance requires a setback of 30 feet, therefore, the variance requested is for 11 feet. Mr. Brandl's property is located on the corner of Rice Lake Land and Rice Lake Court. The proposed garage will face Rice Lake Court. This particular roadway has a slight curve, therefore, the varied setback is as indicated on the site plan. Mr. Brandl plans to construct this garage in line with his existing home, however, due to the curve in the road, the same setback as the home can not be maintained. He is prohibited from moving the proposed structure toward the back yard due to a large drainage easement and retaining wall. Ms. Wyland stated that Mr. Brandl has recently removed two (2) structures from his property, a 24 x 24 car port and a 12 x 20 barn which was located in the same position as the proposed new garage. The total square footage proposed will be within the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance as will the number of accessory buildings allowed. Ms. Wyland noted that the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this item at their June 10, 1998, meeting and recommended approval of the variance as requested as it meets the criteria established in the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Brandl came forward and presented a picture of his property and proposed location of the garage. He stated that he has lived on the property for 12 years. He further stated he would like to be able to store his boat, trailer, and car under cover. Mayor Sullivan stated that she visited Mr. Brandl's property. She verified with Mr. Brandl the proposed location of the garage. 6
