August 24, 2023 BOZA Minutes <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The applicant, Nick Heinle of Prairie Homes, LLC, approached the Board and stated that mitigating <br />factors are being added to address the concerns from neighbors about the request. These mitigating <br />factors include lids covering the window wells and a fence enclosing the home from all sides to address <br />safety concerns. <br /> <br />Board Member Arcand asked what the safety concern Heinle heard from neighbors was. Heinle stated <br />that neighbors stated they were concerned with children being able to fall into the window well, which <br />would be mitigated by the covers on the window wells, the fence that Heinle is installing, and the <br />existing fence that the neighboring property owners have on their property line. Arcand asked what <br />the City’s requirements for safety measures would be. Juba responded that the cover on the window <br />well is not required, and that the Senior Engineering Technician determined that drainage will not be <br />impeded. Arcand asked if the City would be liable for permitting the home construction in error. Juba <br />stated that the variance request abates that liability. <br /> <br />Chair Weidt opened the public hearing at 6:43pm. <br /> <br />No one spoke. <br /> <br />Chair Weidt closed public hearing at 6:43pm. <br /> <br />Board member Arcand made a motion, seconded by Chair Weidt, to approve the variance request for <br />Nick Heinle, Prairie Homes, LLC for property located at 14320 Grantaire Lane North. <br /> <br />Ayes: All. <br />Nay: None. <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />The request will be considered at the City Council meeting of September 5th, 2023. <br /> <br />Adjournment <br /> <br />Board member Petty made a motion, Arcand seconded, to adjourn at 6:44pm. <br /> <br />Ayes: All. <br />Nay: None. <br />Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Max Gort, Associate Planner
