MINUTES HUGO BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS OCTOBER 10, 2002 Chairperson Schumann called the meeting to order at 6:30p.m. PRESENT: Brunotte, Puleo, Schumann ALSO PRESENT: John Rask, Community Development Director Michele Lindau, Secretary Minutes of September 26, 2002 Brunotte made motion, Puleo seconded, to approve the minutes of September 26, 2002. All Ayes. Motion carried. Satnik Variance for Accessory Building The Board considered the request of Fancis Satnik, 12310 Janero Avenue North, for a variance to permit an accessory building with an exterior finish that is inconsistent with the principal structure on the property. City Code requires all non-agricultural accessory buildings to resemble, in style, materials, color, roofline, and siding type, the principal building on the lot. The home is finished with horizontal aluminum siding and the pole building would be vertical metal siding. It was noted in the staff report that the Board considered a variance request on this property for the construction of a garage 22 feet from the side lot line; however,the applicant never constructed the building. It was also noted that the proposed driveway to access the building would cross a wetland as well as a drainage way. Satnik was present at the meeting and said he would be installing a culvert to accommodate the driveway. He also provided pictures of his home and what the accessory building would look like and pictures of three other homes and buildings in the neighborhood that have accessory building slightly different from the principal structure. Satnik pointed out the trees on the property that would screen the building from the road and neighbors. The Board found the applicant made every effort match the proposed building to the principal structure. The Board also found the exterior of the proposed building strongly resembles the exterior of the home and is screened from other properties by existing trees on the property line.
