BatzlafT. 1115 Brown Road South - <br />Renewal Variance - Resolution <br />1 <br />Additional Exhibit <br />K - Letter of November 10, 1993, Abie Christianson, 1105 Brown Road South <br />(neighbor to the north) <br />Brief Review of Application <br />Applicant ’s original variance application expired July 13,1993. The application involves <br />side and street setback variances for detached garage to be located in street yard. A variance <br />would also be required as structure is to be placed in front of the front line of the principal <br />stiucture. <br />Members questioned applicant as to why the structure could not be located to conform <br />with the required 10’ side yard setback. If stiucture was to be located 10’ from the side lot line, <br />this would not endaiigcr mature trees within the street side yard and would also minimize impact <br />on neighbor to immediate south. Members were concerned with the visual impact of the <br />proposed improvement on the residence to the immediate south and asked that landscaping be <br />provided along the south side of the garage. <br />Members were confused by neighbor's letter. Exhibit K, as property does not have a <br />garage. It was concurred that neighbor was confusing the improvement request with properties <br />to both north and south that recently installed detached garages. <br />PlaBiiiBg CooMBiaikNi Rfcnmmfndattnn <br />The Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval of the proposed variance <br />renewal adopting the findings and hardships set forth in the original resolution approval.
