distance to a setback distance of 7.26' from the
South property line to the proposed garage
addition only.
Present to request the variance was the property owner, Mr. Lance Erickson.
The Chairman reviewed the petitioner's application and found it to be in
order. It was also noted that this home is in the flood plain of Bassett
Creek, and that permission had been sou�ht and given from the Golden
Va11ey Planning Commission and the Bassett Creek Flood Control Commission.
Mr. Erickson described the problems he had encountered with flooding dur-
ing the last few years, and explained how the proposed addition is being
designed„ to prevent future flood waters from getting into his house. He
also brought out the fact that the house is built on sixty (60) foot pil-
ings, and that the garage would be similarly built.
LeRoy Anderson moved to accept the variance as requested, and it was
seconded by Walter Kost and so carried.

and for Section
13.01 for 2 spaces of the required number of 56 off street
parking spaces for a total of 54 off street parking
spaces.
Present to request the variance were r1r. R. E. Ische, rYr. Paul Schilling,
and Mr. Richard Vanman. The petitioners asked to amend their petition
by increasing the parking space waiver to 5 off the required number of
57 to a total of 52 parking spaces.
Walter Kost moved to add the amended request to the agenda, and it was
seconded by LeRoy Anderson and so carried.
The Chairman then reviewed the application, and found it to be in order.
The Board discussed other variance requests along this same street.
They were reminded that Jacobson i°iachine, which is located on the adja-
cent property to the North, had received a variance allowing a green
area of 35' along the West line of that property.
The proponent described the proposed addition and the parking and land-
scaping to be done in conjunction with the new construction.
LeRoy Anderson said he would rather see more parking spaces waived and
a 35' landscaped area on the West end of the property. This would be
more consistent with the waiver on the property to the North.
The proponents were agreeable to the suggestion.
LeRoy Anderson moved to grant the waiver of Section 7.051 for 15t off
the required SO' landscaped area along the West property line, and for
Section 13.01 for 16 spaces off the required number of 57 parking spaces.
It was seconded by Walter Kost.
During the discussion of the question, it was agreed that the proposed
green areas would be properly landscaped and maintained, and that this
was the final expansion of the building on the present site.
The question was called and carried unanimously.
As a final item of business, the Board discussed the 1976 budget, and
suggestions were made to carry on to the Chairman's meeting with the
Mayor.
There being no further business to come �efore the Board, it was on
motion duly seconded ad�ourned at 8:45 P.M.
