CITY OF ST. ANTHONY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES September 21, 1976 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Bowerman at 7:35 P.M. Present for roll call: Cowan, Marks, Rymarchick, Bowerman, Hiebel, Letourneau and Johnson Also present: Harry Lekson The minutes for the Public Hearing conducted by the Board on August 31, 1976 were corrected to indicate Mr. Letourneau was not present. Motion by Mr. Rymarchick and seconded by Mr. Letourneau to approve the minutes of the August 31, 1976 Public Hearing as corrected. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Mr. Marks and seconded by Mr. Cowan to approve the minutes for the August 17, 1976 Board meeting. Motion carried unanimously. At 7:50 P.M. the Public Hearing was opened on the request from Sun- dial Realty, Inc., 2817 Anthony Lane South that a rear yard variance of 4 feet be granted for Lot 3, Block 1, Barrett's Addition so that a 26 x 37 house and garage might be constructed on that corner of Fordham Drive and 39th Avenue N.E. Mr. James Villella of the realty company said this is the second of two almost identical houses being built concurrently adjacent to each other which necessitated a di- versity in positioning the structures on the two lots. An additional foot, than that required for front yard set back, had been allowed so that the house might be in line with others on Fordham Drive. There will however be 40 feet distance between the two houses which have been planned to fit into the fairly wooded lots in a manner designed to provide screening for each. Mr. Villella pointed out the drainage system which had been installed between the two lots and said if the proposed structure was cut in size it would not meet the City's re- quirements regarding square footage. No one else appeared to speak for or against the proposal and the Public Hearing was closed at 7:55 P.M. Board members indicated they could see nothing unreasonable about the request and expressed their satisfaction with the retention of trees on the property. Motion by Mr. Rymarchick and seconded by Mr. Cowan to recommend to the ` Council that a 4 foot rear yard variance be granted to Sundial Realty, Inc., to allow the home presented by Mr. Villella to be built on Lot 3,
