MINUTES <br />HUGO BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS <br />May 22, 2003 <br />Chairperson Schumann called the meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. <br />PRESENT: Brunotte, Schumann <br />ABSENT: Puleo <br />ALSO PRESENT: John Rask, Community Development Director <br />Michele Lindau, Secretary <br />Minutes May 8, 2003 <br />Schumann made motion, Brunotte seconded, to approve the minutes for May 8, 2003 <br />as submitted. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Gressen Variance <br />The Board considered the application of Greg and Cara Gressen, 8620 126th <br />Street North, for a variance to permit a 13 -foot side yard setback for the <br />construction of a 1,550 square foot addition. The addition would provide 598 <br />square feet additional garage space and 952 square feet additional living space. <br />The property consists of 5.4 acres in the Rural Residential Zoning District where <br />the City's Comprehensive Land Use Regulations require that buildings be set back <br />40 feet from the side lot line. <br />At the Board of Zoning Adjustments meeting on May 8, 2003, the Board tabled <br />action on this request. The Board had questions for the applicant who was not <br />present. <br />Tim and Bonnie Elemes, 8650126th Street North, stated that they wished to maintain <br />the space between their homes and did not approve of the garage addition. <br />Schumann said he had no problem with granting the variance in light of the fact that <br />the City was considering amending the ordinance to permit a 20 foot side yard <br />setback, which was the setback prior to the ordinance change in 1999. <br />Brunotte said he was not in favor because they would be encroaching into the setback <br />
