Gaffron <br />responded that the only other application he was aware of is the Brook Park Realty proposal. <br />Flint indicated he would not oppose this proposal but did not want to set a precedent if there <br />were more applications before the City. <br />Gaffron reiterated that staff had advised the applicant to proceed with the subdivision as a sketch <br />plan to provide direction to the applicant. A public hearing would be held to address the lot <br />width variance as part of the subdivision process. <br />Jabbour suggested that the applicant proceed with the proposal and attempt to do whatever is <br />possible to have no variances. <br />Valerius confirmed that the next step was to meet with Gaffron to continue with the preliminary <br />plat application. <br />( #12) #2367 LAWRENCE GLEASON, <br />RESOLUTION NO. 4082 <br />Mr. Gleason was present. <br />140 HACKBERRY HILL - VARIANCE - <br />Van Zomeren presented pictures of the house and reported that the property is in the R -1B, %2 <br />acre district and conforms to the lot area. The applicant is requesting a side yard variance to add <br />6' to the existing house on the north side, which encroaches 2' into the 10' side yard setback. <br />She noted the house is on a slope, and the proposed addition is in a logical place. The Planning <br />Commission recommended approval on a vote of 5 to 0. <br />Flint asked if living close to the park was a problem. Gleason responded that they love the park <br />and enjoy the children and families who use it. They see the park as an asset. <br />Peterson moved, Kelley seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4082 granting a side yard variance <br />of 2' for the property located at 140 Hackberry Hill. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. - <br />Gleason asked if he ever wanted to sell his property if the City was interested in purchasing it. <br />Council confirmed that they were very interested. <br />I I <br />
