Mrs. Bonin presented the Council with a list of people who have signed
a petition saying they did not have any objections to the metal building.
She explained that they did not know that a temporary building required'.
a building permit. They are using the building for storage and a work-
shop for her Son's projects. They are asking to keep the building
because they have two lots and the building is back far enough. They
will put a fence around it and plant some trees too.
Mayor Pickar reviewed the Planning Commission minutes regarding this
matter. They denied the request because they felt it would establish
a precedence of oversized buildings being allowed after they are up.
Mrs. Bonin stated that they consider it to be a storage building, not
a garage. The City considers it to be part of the garage because it
is attached to the garage. Mrs. Bonin stated that she did not think
allowing this would be setting a precedence because the Police are
patrolling area all the time and would see a building before it is
finished. Her son will graduate in one year from college and the
building will then be used only for storage. The building was finished
a few years ago.
Mayor Pickar stated that this building would be oversized as a detached
storage building too.
Councilmember Baumgartner reviewed the list of the property owners that
Mrs. Bonin presented.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that the original request was to build
a 26x25' garage, which was oversized at the time of the request. When
this building was actually built it was 26'x28'. Mrs. Bonin stated
that she was not sure if the request was wrong or the garage was built
wrong. The metal building currently in question is 14.51x28'. Council-
member Ziebarth stated that it concerns him that the Bonin's weren't
aware that the metal building would create some problems since they
knew that their garage was oversized to begin with.
Mrs. Bonin stated that they considered the metal building to be a
temporary building thdt didn't require a permit. The only reason that
it is attached to the garage is that it only has three sides.
Mayor Pickar stated that the Planning Commission denied the variance
and the Bonins were directed to take the building down no later than
December 28, 1976. The Bonins appealed the decision within the 60
day period.
Councilmember Baumgartner stated that he was having a difficult time
with the fact that the Bonins asked for a variance for the original
oversized garage but not request a variance for the addition to it.
Mrs. Bonin stated that they consider it as two buildings, not an
addition.
