Anew laundry room and <br /> 3 two season porch are planned which would not ex- <br /> 4 acerbate the current setback problems for addi- <br /> 5 tions to nonconforming additions, but would <br /> 6 require a variance. <br /> 7 <br /> 8Staff report: reiterated information in his April 16th memoran- <br /> 9 dum. <br /> 10 <br /> 11Proponents: Brett Peterson, who said he had negotiated an <br /> 12 agreement with his northernmost neighbor to <br /> 13 remove the garden shed which he and the former <br /> 14 owner had , erected if City required or Mr. <br /> 15 Peterson_ ever moved. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Marc Dicky, 2925 Crestview Drive (that neighbor) <br /> 18 had written a letter of approval of the variance <br /> 19 which had been included in the agenda packet. <br /> 20 <br /> 21Opponents: None at the hearing and Mr. Childs reported <br /> i 22 staff had received no calls or letters opposing <br /> 23 the variance. <br /> 24 <br /> 25The hearing was closed at 7 : 46 P.M. <br /> 26 _ <br /> 27 Commission Action <br /> 28 <br /> - 29Motion by Madden, seconded by Hansen to recommend the Council grant <br /> 30 the petition for a variance from Brett and Robin Peterson for 3301 <br /> 31 East Gate Road which would allow construction of improvements which <br /> 32 would connect- an existing detached garage to a principal structure <br /> -- 33 (house-) .
