Turner noted those locations were confirmed in the <br /> field this week. <br /> Holm stated the south property line is fairly wooded and would help to screen the addition. <br /> Otto indicated the trees along the south property line are mainly pine trees that were planted <br /> approximately 15 years ago. <br /> Zullo inquired what property the trees are on. , <br /> Otto stated there was not a survey performed at the time his parents purchased the property back in the <br /> 1950s and that there is some misunderstanding about where the exact property lines are. The nursery that <br /> was adjoining this lot at one time constructed a fence that they had assumed was along the property line. <br /> Otto stated the trees may or may not be on his property and that the shed is located partially on the other <br /> property. <br /> Holm noted the shed has been relocated to be entirely on Mr. Otto's property. <br /> Turner stated the survey was done at the time the other addition was constructed,but it does depict the <br /> accurate location of the house. . <br /> Zullo inquired whether the trees would be maintained in the years to come. • <br /> Otto stated they would be,with evergreen txees being added to the south and to the west. <br /> Zullo inquired whether the addition could be relocated back two feet. <br /> Otto stated if the addition is moved further back,it would block the view from the house of people <br /> approaching the residence. Otto indicated the addition is required to accommodate a larger family. <br /> Holm commented the angle of the house on the property also limits their options on the location of the <br /> addition. <br /> Kang stated she is having a difficult time understanding what the hardship is but that she understands the <br /> rationale of the applicant. <br /> Berg asked whether the addition should be reduced. <br /> � PAGE 17 <br />
