Engen Variance to Allow Permanent Driveway Surface within Five-Foot Side Yard Setback. The Applicant, A.G. Engen, was present. Associate Ericson reviewed the August 20, 1997 Request for Planning Commission Action in which it was stated that Mr. Engen is requesting a variance to allow for a permanent driveway within the five-foot side yard setback at his residence located at 2229 Oakwood Drive. The existing asphalt driveway is within one foot of the side yard property line. The next door neighbor impacted by this request has submitted a letter indicating their approval of a cement driveway closer that five feet to their property line. Associate Ericson stated Staff is recommending approval of Planning Commission Resolution 525-97, a resolution approving the variance request of A.G. Engen to • construct a permanent driveway surface within the five-foot side yard setback at 2229 Oakwood Drive with stipulations as noted. Motion/Second: Brooks/Brasaemle to approve of Resolution 525-97, "A resolution approving the variance request of A.G. Engen to construct a permanent driveway surface within the five- foot side yard setback at 2229 Oakwood Drive, Planning Case No. 496-97", with stipulations as noted. Johnston stated his concern that item No. 2 in the stipulations did not read that a licensed surveyor should be obtained to locate the property line pins. Mr. Engen stated that a City Staff person had located the property line pins on an earlier visit to his home. This being the case, Mr. Engen felt that there was no need for an official survey. Commissioner Brasaemle suggested that stipulation No. 2 in Resolution 525-97, Planning Case 496-97, be eliminated. Chair Peterson called for a vote on the motion. Motion carried: 7 ayes, 0 nays. a
