- • -5- Motion by Mr.. Jones and seconded by Mr. Bowerman to recommend Council approval of the preliminary platting .submitted by Central Engineering for St. Anthony Industrial Park - 2nd Addition. Motion .-carried unanimously. At 9 : 45 P.M. , the Chairman opened -thepublic hearing on the petition for a variance from .the City Zoning Ordinance related to building setback lines for the proposed construction of a single family resi- dence at 3224 Roosevelt Street by reading the notice of the hearing which had gone out to all property owners of record within 200 feet of the subject site. No one present indicated failure to receive the notice or objected to its contents . The petitioner-, Robert Rivard, 3331 Benjamin Street N.E. , was present to discuss the plans for the 50 feet by 150 feet split level residence he desires to construct. He said the fact that the City requires him to .build a double garage prevents him from conforming to the City requirements that there be at least a total side yard area of 15 feet, where in the garage area he will have only 13 feet , with 5 feet on the .south side and 8 on the north. The fact that there will be 19 feet between their home and the proposed structure make the proposal acceptable to them, according to Vivian and John Domalik, 3226 Roosevelt Street N.E. , who were present. . Mike Pribula, 3570 Buchanan Street N.E. , said he owns the vacant lot across the street at 3227 Roosevelt, and he also supports the proposal . • There was no one .present to speak in opposition to the request and the Chairman closed the hearing at 10 :00 P.M. Motion by Mr. Bjorklund and seconded by Mrs . Makowske to recommend Council approval of a two foot variance to the sideyard setback re- quirements of the City Zoning Ordinance for a single family residence for the home Robert Rivard proposes to construct on Lot 5 , Block 3, Clark Kings Addition, on the condition no sideyard -setback is less than five feet, finding that, the proposal meets the ordinance stipula- tion that "a lot of record existing upon the effective date of this ordinance in an- R district, which does not meet the requirements of this ordinance as to area or width, may be utilized for single family detached dwelling purposes , provided the measurements of such area or width are within 660 of the lot width and area requirements of this ordinance. . . . " . The Commission finds also that the size of the lot governed the garage siting and a hardship would be created by the ordinance if the variance is not granted; the purpose of .the variance is not to increase the value or income potential for this parcel of land, and, there would appear to be adequate setbacks between adjacent property dwellings. and this structure, as proposed. The Commission further notes that this petition represents only a minimal request and drew no opposition from the neighbors on two sides of the site . Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Mr. Peterson and seconded by Mr. Bjorklund to accept as agenda addendum the Boerm request that the City Zoning Ordinance be
