on proDertv zoned RSF and located on lot 6, Block 1, Highland Park,
Adeline Skluzacek.
Aanenson presented the staff report.
Mrs. Skluzacek stated that this approach would make the house more
energy efficient. The stoop is attached to the house and she would
rather use it as foundation. Furthermore, the stoop covers an
abandoned well. One of the reasons the applicant requested the
variance was to control a drainage problem in the basement. This
was discussed at the meeting and it was decided that this does not
constitute a hardship as there are other ways to remedy the
situation.
Workman stated that three feet is not much but the fact remains
this will create a precedent.
Mr. James Dwire stated that he is a neighbor of the applicant and
he had no objection to the variance application.
Watson made a motion to deny the variance beCause it would create
a precedent. Johnson seconded. Watson and Johnson were opposed.
Workman was in favor. -The variance was denied.
The applicant requested to appeal the Board's decision to the City
Council. The appeal was set for October 14, 1991.
