CITIZEN COMMENTS AND REQUESTS
Howard Bisbee, 2816 Bronson Drive stated that he had purchased the property at
2816 Bronson Drive with a garage on it. He then built a home with an attached
double garage, after being told he would be able to keep the original garage. He
has now been told that he cannot keep the original garage.
Mayor Pickar asked who had told Mr. Bisbee he could keep the garage to start with..
Mr. Bisbee replied that he had spoken with Steve Rose, and that Mr. Rose had later
told him the garage was in violation of a City ordinance.
Councilmember Baumgartner explained that the ordinance reads that with a two car
attached garage on the principle structure, no other would be allowed. However,
an auxiliary building would be allowed to a maximum of 216 square feet, but since
the garage in question was 20'x 24', it would exceed the maximum allowable.
Councilmember Baumgartner also stated that he felt Mr. Rose had advised Mr. Bisbee
against applying for a variance as it was almost certain the Planning Commission
would turn down the request- Then Mr. Bisbee would be out his $50 application
fee.
Mr. Bisbee stated that he has one acre of property, which he feels is more than
adequate for the buildings on his lot.
Attorney Meyers stated that the ordinance was originally approved in 1960, and
Administrator Achen stated that the size was increased last year to be more
lenient.
