ROBERT AND JOSEPH DOTTE - REZONING
It was the feeling of the Planning Commission that there would be no problem with
the rezoning because of the smaller Iota in the area.
MOTION: Peloquin made motion, seconded by Lorch, to recommend approval of the
request of Robert and Joseph Dotte to rezone 20 acres (the EJ of the SW4
of the NWS of Section 8, T31N, R21W) from Conservancy to Agriculture.
Determined that land rezoned would be compatible with parcels of land to
the west.
All aye. Motion Carried.
LEON MUELLNER - VARIANCE
Mr. Muellner, 14998 Francesca, is proposing the addition of 14' to his existing
garage, with a front yard setback:of'11' rather than the required 30'. The Plan-
ning Commission discussed the possibility of Francesca being continued in the
future, thereby creating a corner lot and a potential problem. Peloquin did not
feel that that was a real possibility. Muellner stated that his other alternative
would be to add"onto the back of the garage, over his sewer line.

request of Leon Muellner for an 11' front yard setback on the grounds that 11'

would create a problem.

necessary acreage in that zone (AG).
