James Wohlford
The Pe tition is for waiver of Section:
11.21 Subd. 7C (1) side setback, for 3.5 feet off the required
15 feet from the north lot line to a distance
of 11.5 feet a t its closest point to the
proposed addition.
The petition was in order and consent obtained from all adjacent property
owners. Mrs. Wohlford was present. No others were in attendance.
Mr. Wohlford described the existing deck which was built at the same time
the house was constructed. The deck is deteriorating and their proposal is
to replace it with a 3-season porch. Their home is a corner lot with two 35
foot setback requirements. When the house was built, it was setback 45 feet
from busy Glenwood Avenue. The rear of the house is the only area affording
privacy. The Board discussed several structural characteristics of the pro-
posed porch and noted the substantial separation that would still exist bet-
ween the porch and the adjacent neighbor's a ttached garage.
Mahlon Swedberg said the adjacent house is set back beyond 35 feet and it
appears to him the proposed porch would have no impact on adjacent proper-
ties. Mahlon Swedberg moved to approve the waiver as requested, noting the
required 35 feet on two sides, the shape of the lot and the location of the
existing home which leave no other alternatives for the porch. Second by
Art Flannagan and upon vote carried.

The petition is for waiver of Section:
11.21 Subd. 7C (1) side setback, for 4.3 feet off the required
15 feet from the south lot line to a distance
of 10.7 feet from the south lot line to the
. proposed deck.
The petition was in order and consent obtained from all adjacent properties.
Mrs. Pe ters was present, no others were in attendance.
Mrs. Pe ters described the existing concrete patio which is set up off the
ground slightly because of topography. The proposed deck would be built
around this patio and would project into the side setback. Currently, there
is a sidewalk along the south side that leads to the existing patio. The
Board discussed the height of the deck sides and noted it basically surrounds
what is existing patio area.
Mike Sell said this is a 100 foot wide lot and this new survey shows the
south side setback to the house is 8 one hundredths of a foot less than the
required 15 foot setback.
Larry Smith moved to approve the waiver as requested and to include the
waiver for the house as it now exists. Smith also noted the waiver for the
pa tio deck was to the closest poin t and the major portion of the deck is a t
the rear of the house. Art Flannagan seconded the motion and upon vote
carried. '
There being no further business to �ome before the Board, it was upon
motion, second, and vote to adjourn a t 8:15 P.M.
