Adams asked that a compromise be <br />reached maybe by extending only 10 percent into the 0-75' <br />zone and placing decking on the side. They felt that the 20 <br />percent variance was too much to allow and that a 10 percent <br />variance would be better. <br />David Kirscht stated that from a design and function <br />standpoint it would not be feasible. <br />Mayor Butler withdrew the motion <br />CounciImember L. Adams stated that he would amend his second <br />U Biot ion was made for a 10 percent variance rather than 20 <br />percent. <br />Councilmeraber Grabek explained that if the City was going to <br />give the applicant a 10 percent variance, they may as well <br />give him the 20 percent variance. Grabek stated that by <br />giving the applicant only 10 percent it doesn ’ t make the deck <br />very desireable or useable; therefore, the City should be <br />strict and consistent and not allow any structure within the <br />0-75' *one. Grabek noted if the City's philosophy is going <br />to change and allow structures within that 0-75’ zone, what <br />is the difference between lC-20 ' . Grabek noted the City may <br />as well let the applicant have the 20 percent if they are going <br />to change their philosophy. Grabek asked the Council why <br />penalize the applicant 10' just so the Council feels safer <br />that they are staying within the 75' setback. <br />Hichard Pagatz agreed with Counci li<iember Grabex in that if <br />the City only approved a 10 percent variance the deck would <br />not be as functional. <br />Mayor Butler suggested that Council pick a number to give the <br />applicant guidelines on redesigning his deck. <br />Councilmember Grabek stated that puts the Council in an <br />awkward position in that it makes someone pull out of the air a <br />number that they feel appropriate without any basic sound <br />engineering judgment or any science of decking, or movement <br />of people, and opening of windows or doors. <br />Councilmember Grabek moved. Mayor Butler seconded, to <br />approve the setback variance for Richard Ragatz to coistruct <br />the proposed deck and direct staff to draft a resolution of <br />approval incorporating all of the findings and conditions <br />made in Mayor Butler’s previous motion. Motion, Ayes (4J, <br />Mays (1). <br />Councilmember Tim Adams voted nay. <br />Councilmember L. Adams asked why Councilmember Grabek <br />changed his opinion. <br />3 <br />I <br />ijuL
