-10- 4"'. : i :. Motion carried unanimously. 3 The meeting was .recessed . from ,9 : 12 P.M., to 9 : 17 P.M. 4 5 - UNFINISHED BUSINESS i 6 -: .7 .Approval Recommended for Nelson Request for Setback Variance for 8 3412 Roosevelt Street N.E. 9 10 The above had been tabled at the last meeting to allow the ll . applicant and his neighbor to try to work out their differences 12 relatedto Mr. Nelson' s proposal to convert his *existing single 13 garage to a 'four car double garage which because of his home' s 14 siting on his lot. would require a four -foot sideyard setback 15 variance to construct. 16 17 Motion by Werenicz seconded by Wingard to take the above request . 18 off the table. 19 20 Motion carried unanimously. 21 22 Mr. Nelson testified that his meeting with his neighbor had not 23 been held until the previous Friday when Mrs . Ittner had indicated 24 she would like to consult with her family on Easter Sunday about 25 the matter. 26 27. Mrs . Ittner and her son, Paul Szurek, were present and the latter 28 told the Commissioners his mother was still .. concerned about the 29 runoff from . the new addition and wanted the construction -.to be 30 delayed so the next owner could have input related to its size and 31 location. 32 33 When he conceded that potential - buyers had been "put on hold 34 because it was taking so long to get the house emptied out" ; that 35 the real estate company had not even quoted a price for the home, 36 the Commissioners concurred that it would not be fair to make the 37 Nelsons wait -indefinitely for the Ittner home to be sold. The 38 Commissioners also questioned Mrs. Ittner ' s concerns about the 39 addition runoff increasing her water problems, perceiving that the 4.0 ' plans he had presented that evening for diverting the runoff ,would 4.1 in all likelihood improve the present situation. There was also 42 Commissioner agreement that a double garage would probably enhance 43 rather than detract from that neighborhood. Mrs. Ittner' s 44 suggestion that the Nelson garage be sited further back on the 45 property to avoid annoyance to whoever lived there next was not 46 • considered reasonable. The Chair Pro Tem told her a long driveway 47 would probably add to her water problems. 48 4'g No one ' else- appeared -to provide input to the consideration and the 50 hearing was closed at 9 : 35 P.M. 51 52 53 �- 54 55
