Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes • April 18, 1995 Page 7 1 proposed house is of modern standards, which require additional total square footage and 2 different design considerations. 3 In response to Commissioner Makowske, Mornson indicated there had been unanticipated 4 problems with the property at 3112 Silver Lake Road because the City had purchased the 5 property and went through the process without a survey. With 3111 Silver Lake Road, the City 6 had demanded the owner provide a survey before they purchased the property. 7 In response to Franzese, Moore-Sykes indicated the size of the lot at 3111 Silver Lake Road was 8 identical to the lot size of 3112 Silver Lake Road. 9 Chair Bergstrom indicated he had looked at the lot and it did not appear the drainage shown on 10 the plat was correct. Moore-Sykes indicated drainage will be as indicated on this plat. 11 Larry Beach, Larry Beach Construction, indicated he had purchased the property at 3111 Silver 12 Lake Road from the HRA, knowing he would need the same variances as 3112 Silver Lake Road 13 had required. He.stated he would like to build the house as a pre-sold and he had received 14 numerous calls since his signs were in place. He indicated this is a realistic size house for the 15 area. He stated the shape of the house may change but the placement will remain approximately 06 1 the same. He indicated one option available was to move the house east away from Silver Lake 17 Road but Mrs. Moncada did not want the house moved east. He indicated he would like to keep 18 the garage on the west side to baffle the traffic noise from Silver Lake Road. This would also 19 keep the area on the east side more open for a play area. He indicated the variance request for 20 width was extremely important. 21 Commissioner Franzese suggested that since the house was not buyer specific, it may be more 22 appropriate to build a house not requiring a rear setback variance. She indicated the owner 23 would then be able to appreciate a back yard. She stated a home that conformed to the lot would 24 have a better appearance. 25 Mr. Beach stated he did not want to build a long narrow house. He stated the house could be 26 narrowed by a couple of feet but he was not sure if two feet would have much impact. He 27 indicated the home on 3112 Silver Lake Road, looks right down at the little house behind but that 28 it because the little house is one foot from the property line. There will be 24 feet between the 29 two houses in this development. He felt it worse to make the house longer and narrower as it 30 would encroach more upon Ms. Moncada's property and more windows would be facing her 31 property. 32 In response to Commissioner Horst, Mr. Beach stated the existing fence does belong to the 33 property and will be removed. 04 Commissioner Faust asked if there will be a deck on the property and if there will be a two or 35 three car garage.
