Public Hearing and Consideration of a Variance Request Regarding Property Located at 7375 Pleasant View Drive. Community Development Director Ericson indicated that this request was for a one-foot garage setback at 7375 Pleasant View Drive. He then explained that this property is only 66 feet wide making it unusual within the City. Director Ericson explained that the applicant would like to remove the existing garage and construct a new garage maintaining the same one-foot setback in order to preserve an adequate site line to the backyard and preserve mature trees. Director Ericson reviewed the criteria that were discussed in his Staff report with the Commission and indicated that Staff feels that this case warrants the approval of a variance. Director Ericson indicated that Resolution 727-03 would approve a variance for this property. He then reviewed the stipulations attached to the approval. Director Ericson indicated that the neighbors are not opposed to the project and he has received no calls or correspondence on the matter. Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. Chair Stevenson asked why the garage would be set back 50 feet further behind the existing garage. Mr. Loder explained that the garage is set back 50 feet to allow room for an addition to the house at a later point in time while still allowing access to the garage. Chair Stevenson asked whether the applicant was aware of the requirement to provide an approved surface for the driveway and to remove the two existing buildings. Mr. Loder indicated he was aware of the requirements and indicated he intended to blacktop the driveway. Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Zwirn/Hegland. To Approve Resolution 727-03, a Resolution Approving a Variance for a one-foot garage setback at 7375 Pleasant View Drive. Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried.
