D.Michael McGough, 153 Parkview Drive, Variance Staff explained the applicant was requesting a variance to construct an addition onto his home. The proposed one-story addition woul d extend 10 feet into the required 30-foot rear yard setback. Staff reviewed th eir March 12, 2003 report summarizing the five findings for a variance. Staff stated they were recommending denial of the variance request due to there being no unique circum stances or conditions on the property which were creating a hardship situation. Chair Schaps invited appl icant to make comment. Mike McGough, 153 Parkview Drive, stated he had lived in his home since 1994. He stated he liked the neighborhood and he di d not want to do something him or his neighbors did not like and theref ore, he did not want to tu rn the addition sideways. He noted he believed he did have a hardship with the layout of the property. He stated this was the best way he could arch itecturally add the addition. He stated if he tilted the addition 90 degrees, he would have a big lean to shed out the back of his house. He indicated his neighbors had no obj ection to the addition as proposed. Chair Schaps asked if there was a patio in existence. Mr. McGough replied there was. He noted he would landscape all of the way around the addition. He noted he had a corner lot and because of that, he had thr ee 30 feet setbacks, which was also, in his opinion, a hardship. Mr. Corson made a MOTION to recommend denial of the variance re quest due to there being no unique circumstances or conditi ons on the property which were creating a hardship situation. The motion was suppor ted by Mr. Tralle. Motion carried 4-0. Planning & Zoning Board March 12, 2003 Page 5 APPROVED MINUTES E.William Noel, 346 Carl Street Staff explained applicant was requesting a va riance to construct a 2,400 sq.ft. hanger, to be placed 135 feet from the right-of-way of Carl Street, which is closer to the street than the principle structure. Staff reviewed their March 12, 2003 report summarizing the five findings for a variance. Staff stated they were recommending approval of the variance request as hardship and unique physical circumstances, in the form of the transition air space/safety zone of the Lino Park Air Strip, have been demonstrated. That is, if the hanger were placed behind the house, it would impinge on the safety zone and create a potential safety issue. Chair Schaps invited appl icant to make comment. William Noel, 346 Carl Street, stated the hanger he was proposing was not as large as his neighbors. He noted the hanger was two-t oned and was in keeping with the other buildings and the neighborhood. He indi cated he would be planting additional landscaping that should obscure the hanger more. Chair Schaps asked if this hanger would be big enough for his use. Mr. Noel replied it was. It would provide for two airplanes and a shop in the back. Mr. Corson asked if the hanger door would face to the south. Mr. Noel replied that was correct. Mr. Corson asked if the hanger would match th e house. Mr. Noel replied it would match the home as closely as possible. He noted the association governed the hanger materials and colors. Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to approve the variance to allow an accessory building (hanger) to be placed closer to the front lot line than the principal structure due to this being a unique physical circumstance and that ha rdship, in the form of the transition air space/safety zone, had been demonstrated. The motion was supported by Mr. Corson. Motion carried 4-0. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS Mr. Grochala noted the City Council had approved the second reading of the Zoning Ordinance. VII.ADJOURNMENT Mr. Corson made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 7:52 p.m. and was supported by Mr. Tralle. Motion carried 4-0.
