MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 24, 1992
BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT:
Willard Johnson, Carol Watson and Richard Wing.
STAFF PRESENT: Paul Krauss, Planning Director and Sharmin A14aff, Planner I.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m.
A VARIANCE FOR A 22 FOOT FRONT YARD AND SHORELAND SETBACK
VARIANCE, AND 6½ SIDE YARD SETBACK VARIANCE, FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A GARAGE AND DECK ON PROPERTY ZONED RSF.
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY AND- LOCATED AT 9221 LAKE RILEY
BOULEVARD. DONNA ANDREASEN.
A1-Jaff noted that this item was tabled at the last meeting. She presented an update to the
Board.
Johnson made a motion to open the public hearing.
Donna Andreasen stated that the grades are too steep for the applicant to maneuver, and
that is why they located the garage at its proposed location. As for the expansion of the
foot pad of the house, Andreasen stated that she was the architect for the remodeling of the
house and there has not been an expansion.
Dennis Baker stated that he is in favor of alternative # 1 prepared by staff. He requested
that the city ensure that the deck addition does not get enclosed in the future. He also
stated that he had pictures to prove the foot pad of the house or the foundation has been
expanded from what it was 10 years ago. As for the difficulty to maneuver in the driveway,
there is not an existing driveway. If the applicant installs a driveway, it will be much easier
to drive on. As for the grades and the steepness of the property, Mr. Baker stated that it
would be much easier to access the house from an attached garage than from a detached
garage.
Watson stated that she had no problem with the deck addition as it is minimal. Her first
reaction was favoring alternative #1 but she did think that alternative #2 was worthy of
consideration too.
Johnson stated that he was in favor of alternative #1. He normally has a problem with
granting variances that allow additions so close .to the lake, but this addition would be
minimal.
Wing stated that alternative #1 was the most reasonable solution and made a motion to
approve variance request #92-2 as shown in alternative # 1.
