The applicant reported <br />that the sanitary sewer easement runs next to their garage apron <br />Mr. Palm responded with the options available He said the original proposed plan had <br />been approved at the 39’ setback, and he was not willing to change the new plan to the 75’ <br />setback Palm said this would result in their home being behind all of the homes and was <br />not aware of any immediate changes happening to the home to the immediate south. Palm <br />also responded to the negative when asked by Rowlette if he would move the plan back to <br />have the deck meet the 50' setback Smith commented that she would not approve any <br />plan if the deck would not be moved back to meet the 50* setback. <br />Palm noted the good drainage of the property with the sand base and lack of any pooling <br />of water Palm also commented on the benefits to the neighborhood if this plan was <br />approved. <br />Peterson commented that requesting a 75* setback was probably unrealistic but did note <br />that approval would set a precedent.
