The following Board members were present: Chairman, Mahlon Swedberg Herb Polachek Mike Sell Larry Smith, Alternate Absent by prior arrangement, Glen Christiansen and Art Flannagan. The first order of business was approval of the minutes of a regular meeting held August 9, 1983, copies of which had previously been distributed to the Board. Larry Smith moved to approve the minutes as written and presented, second by Mike Sell and upon vote carried. 83-9-22 (Map 20) Residential 0 ympia treet Nort Shirley Sundin The Petition is for waiver of Section 3A.06(1 ) front setback for 8 feet off the required 35 feet setback from Olympia Street to a setback of 27 feet from the lot line to the proposed detached garage and for 3A.10(1 ) to allow an accessory building to be located alongside the principal structure as it cannot be located to the rear, as required. The Petition was in order. Consent had been obtained from adjacent properties. Shirley Sundin was present. No adjacent property owners were in attendance. Ms. Sundin explained her proposal to build a detached two-car garage on the west side of her property. There presently is no garage. This is a corner lot and there are only two houses on the block. 7he other house faces Mendelssohn Avenue and is only 11.8 feet from Olympia, therefore there is no problem with alignment with adjacent properties. �`���� Board of Zoning Appeals Page 2 September 13, 1983 Mahlon Swedberg asked Ms. Sundin why she didn't move the garage five feet closer to the house. If she did so then if it was ever attached by a breezeway, it would still conform for the setback required for one main structure. Ms. Sundin said the City provided an existing curb cut that aligns with the proposed garage and she also said her house is a split level and as constructed an attached garage was not practical or financially feasible. Mike Sell noted that as a detached garage, frost footings would not be required and therefore the minutes should note for future reference that it could not be attached to the house at a later date. Ms. Sundin noted that her home and the proposed garage would be in alignment for setback from Olympia. There also is a curb cut for a future detached garage for the adjacent house to the west. Following this discussion of the proposal , Mike Sell moved to approve the waivers as requested, noting the property is a corner lot and there is no other location for a garage and that the proposed garage is in alignment with the existing house and does not affect adjacent properties. Second by Larry Smith and upon vote carried unanimously. The Board discussed several administrative items and the secretary provided an update on current projects and proposals in the City since the previous meeting. There being no further business to come before the Board, it was upon motion, second, and vote to adjourn at 8:35 P.M. ������ Mahlon Swedberg, Chairman Lloyd G. Becker, Secretary
