(Amended 7-15-86 City Council M- eetina) Dave Schweitz, 8032 Hill Trail N., objects because of the smallness of the lot, not enough frontage on the public street and does not want a garage next to his property. Paul and Nancy Hansen, 8024 Hill Trail N., have a concern on the small lot size and would like to keep the niceness of the neighborhood. The house has been for sale all last year and they understand Mr. McCollar is adding a garage in hopes of being able to sell it. Galen Meier owns the property that abutts the McCollar property on the south side and voiced his objection to construction of a garage, either separate from or attached to a very old existing, practically non -livable structure called a house.

This property abuts Lake DeMontreville, therefore, shoreland regulations apply. In the City Engineer's report, Bohrer states that it appears from the site plan that all setbacks can be met, therefore, no variances should be required. The house is well above the minimum building elevation and no sewage load is being added. A discrepancy was found and should be cleared up before the permit is issued. The site plan shows the addition projection 20 feet from the existing house leaving a 105 foot setback from the water. The architectural drawing shows the scaled length of the addition to be 25 feet plus a 5 foot wide deck leaving a 95 foot setback where 100 feet is required. Mr. Nelson will get back to the City office if,,wants to proceed with the variance application and then N(=
