Mahlon Swedbergy Chairman of the Board, presided and Jim Ingemunson acted
as Recording Secretary.
The first order of business was the consideration of the mixiu.tes of the
meeting of the Board held on May �, 1971 copies of which had been distributed
to the Board. . It was moved by ZeRoy Anderson, seconded by Don Franzen carried
unanimausly, to approve the mirnztes of the meeting held on May 11, 1971, as
corrected.
The Chairman then brought before the meeting the following request for
waivers:
71-2-9 11�09 Pennsylvania Avs. N. (Map 15) Residential Nick Loseheider
The petition is for the waiver of Section
3.07 (2) for 1� off the required rear yard setback distance of
15t to a setback of l�� from the west property lzne
to the proposed dwelling only.
Present to make the request for the waiver was Mr. Nick Loscheider. Also
present was the owner of the subject lot, Mr. Rufus Bankole.
The board discussed the waiver as was originally requested at the
May 11, 19?1 meeting of the board. It was noted that the owner and builder
changed the proposed house plan to one more close7�y in conformance with the
zoning code, thus reducing the need for a variance from 8.67� to l� .
Don Franzen questioned the location of the corner stakes and the correct-
ness of the lot survey in regard to the confusion tha� occured on this point
at the May 11 meeting. The secretary informed the members that this problem
had been resolved and that the survey is correct as shown.
There being no further discussion and considering the narrowness of the
corner 1ot, it was moved by Don Franzen, and seconded i�y LeRoy Anderson to
grant the waiver as requested at the May 26, 1971 meeting.

Also f'or the waiver of Sec�ion
11.0,3 for 2 s�ory in addition to the maximum allowable 22 stories
�or a height of 3 stories along the north wa11 of the west
wing and the west wall of the west wing and the west 11' of
the south wall of the west wing an.d �'or l� stories in addition
to the maximum allawable 22 stories to a stor�y height of �.
stories along the east 21► of the south wa11 of the west wing.
Present to make the reques�t for the waiver were Mr. Keefer and Mr. Stinski
from Skyline Builders, and Paul Pink the architect for the prc�posed building.
Also present as an in.terested party was Rev. Nielsen from Calvary Lutheran Church.
The board reviewed �he past petitions on this project, and the waivers
that were granted at the October 13, 1970 meeting of the board,
The appellant presented plans and drawings of the proposed nursing home,
It was also explained that Sk�rline Builders has acquired the lot on the west
side af th� original parcel, and that the combination of that lot with the
nursing home site, wi11 eliminate any need for waivers on parking.
The board carefully examined the new plans, and related them to the waivers
already granted. Tt was determined that the only waiver now required would be
f or the west wing o�' the proposed structure.
The appellan.t explained that the added height of the west wing is necessary
to meet the additional space requirements of the sta�e standards regarding
rnzrsing homes. The proposed board and care home that received the waivers on
October 13, 197� didnst require as much space in day rooms, nursing stations,
therapy rooms, etc. Also the proposed west wing has been designed in a step
down fashion to modify the appearance of what would otherwise be a straight
four s�ories on the south side of the proposed west wing.
Because the appellant will be adding the adjacent lot to the west on
Cauntry C1ub Drive to the original site, and since the proposed west wing will
be no higher than the proposed building for which waivers have been granted,
LeRoy� And�rson moved to grant the waiver as requested for the west wing only.
It was seconded by Don Franzen and carried vnanimously.
There being no further business to come before the meetin�, it was on
motion, duly seconded, adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
