Variance for <br /> 8 34-12 -Roosevelt Street N.E. <br /> 9 <br /> .10: The above , had been ' tabled at the last meeting to allow the <br /> .11 applicant- and his neighbor . to try to work out their differences <br /> 12 related to Mr. Nelson' s proposal to convert his existing single <br /> 13 garage to a four car double garage which because of his home' s <br /> 14 siting on his lot would require a . four foot sideyard setback <br /> 15 variance to construct. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Motion by Werenicz , seconded by Wingard to take the above request <br /> 18 . off the table. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Mr. Nelson testified that his meeting with his neighbor had not <br /> -23 been held until the previous Friday when Mrs. Ittner h_ ad .indicated <br /> , 24 she would like to consult with her family on Easter Sunday about <br /> 25 the matter. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Mrs. Ittner and her son, _Paul Szurek, were present and . the latter • <br /> 28 told the Commissioners his. mother was still concerned about the <br /> 29 runoff from the - new addition and wanted the construction to be <br /> 30 delayed so the next owner could have input related to its size and <br /> 31 location. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 When he conceded that potential buyers had been "put on hold <br /> 34 . because it was taking so long to get the house emptied out" ; that <br /> 35 the real- estate company had not even quoted a price for the home, <br /> 36 the Commissioners concurred that it would not be fair to make the <br /> 37 Nelsons wait indefinitely for the Ittner home to be sold. The <br /> 38 Commissioners also questioned Mrs. Ittner ' s concerns about the <br /> 39 addition runoff increasing her water problems , perceiving that the <br /> 40 plans he had presented that evening for diverting the runoff would <br /> 41 in all likelihood improve the present situation. There was also <br /> 42 Commissioner agreement that a double garage would probably enhance <br /> 43 rather than detract from that neighborhood. Mrs. Ittner' s <br /> 44 suggestion that the Nelson garage be sited further back on the <br /> 45 Property to avoid annoyance to whoever lived there next was not <br /> 46 considered reasonable. The Chair Pro Tem told her a long driveway <br /> 47 would -probably add to her water problems. <br /> 48 <br /> -49 No one else appeared to provide input to the consideration and the <br /> 50 hearing was closed at 9 : 35 P.M. <br /> 51 <br /> 52 • <br /> 53 <br /> 54 <br /> 55 <br />
