MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MARCH 17, 1986 <br />#1010 DUANE N. HALL continued <br />In response to the Taylors comments, Mr. Hal 1 stated <br />that he did in fact offer to buy some of Mrs. Taylors <br />property but it would not solve his problem with zoning <br />laws at this time. He also assured that no damage would <br />be done to her trees. <br />Chairman_ Kelley read into the record a letter to the <br />Planning Commission dated March 14, 1986 from Milton & <br />Doreen Seifert of 1856 Shadywood Rd., indicating their <br />objections for the following reasons: 1)overcrowding <br />on Crystal Bay 2'I substandard lot 3 )City should remain <br />consistant with past actions 4)encourage others <br />(setting precedent) to seek variances which would be in <br />direct conflict with what the Commission and people wish <br />to see .for the area. <br />There were no <br />other <br />person <br />present from <br />the <br />public <br />regarding this <br />matter <br />and the <br />public hearing <br />was <br />closed. <br />Planning Commission member Taylor stated lie felt uncom- <br />fortable with aggravating a situation that within a <br />neighborhood already has a number of substandard lots, <br />an area that appears to be con jested, and feels it is <br />hard to deal with the concepts of grandf athering when <br />there is no legal basis. He felt it was not an <br />appropriate variance to approve. <br />Callahan stated that he agreed with Taylors comments and <br />staffs recommendation to deny. <br />Rovegno agreed that he was uncomfortable wit': this app- <br />lication noting that the material from Mr. Hall was <br />persuasive along with Mr. Ericson's comments. He noted <br />that one thing that troubles him about such applications <br />is that if there had been a shack on a separate lot they <br />would be approving it as a substantial property right. <br />He noted staffs memo vs. Mr. Ha l l's material, it appears <br />that either this lot is exactly like all the rest or <br />very very different, something that should be recon- <br />ciled. In addition, he feels that it is a small lot and <br />a very difficult situation. <br />Bellows stated that based on Mr. Ha l l's materials <br />submitted she felt that the only hardship was a <br />financial one which was not a valid hardship. She <br />questioned the fact that Mr. Hall noted that his present <br />house is too large but however the proposed house <br />(501x40' 2-story plus basement.) appears to be larger <br />than his present home. <br />3 <br />
