FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A GARAGE, GARY
BASS:
Public Present:
Gary Bass, applicant
Jodene R. Engle
Gerhardt presented the background and the analysis of the case
and stated that the Board of Adjustments and Appeals should grant
the variance request due to the steep topography, irregular shape
of the lot and the potential traffic hazard with the applicant's
existing parking area.
Watson stated that the applicant does not have any other alterna-
tives but to locate the garage at the proposed site. However, she
still felt that the garage is going to look large.
Geving asked if Mr. Bass was the owner. Bass replied by saying
he was co-owner of the house. Geving was also concerned with the
runoff from the roof towards the existing home. Bass replied
that due to the steep slopes of the lot and the directional pitch
of the roof, the runoff should not affect his home.
Motion by Geving, seconded by Watson to grant Variance Request
#86-17 for a 15 foot front yard setback to the required 30 foot
setback for the construction of a 24' x 24' garage. All voted in
favor and the motion carried.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Motion by Geving, seconded by Watson, to approve the minutes of
November 3, 1986 as presented. All voted in favor and the motion
carried.
Meeting adjourned at 7:20 p.m.
