-10- <br /> • 1 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> . 2 <br /> 3 The meeting was recessed from 9 : 12 P.M. to 9 : 17 P.M. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Approval Recommended for Nelson Request for Setback Variance for <br /> 8 3412 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 had indicated <br /> 24 she would like to consult with her family on Easter Sunday about <br /> 2.5 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: 3.5 P.M. <br /> 51 <br /> • 52 <br /> 53 <br /> 54 <br /> 55 <br />
