Denial of the variances as requested. <br /> <br />Lemke asked if the neighbor to the east was notified. Lemke noted they live in a different city. <br /> <br />Curtis stated they have been notified. Curtis noted since their primary address is in a different city, that is <br />the reason why it is not listed. <br /> <br />Sharon Olson-Nesbitt, Applicant, stated she has resided in the property since November of 2011 and since <br />then she has become engaged. Nesbitt stated the existing garage is too small for a pickup truck, which <br />makes it difficult in the winter to plow the driveway. Nesbitt indicated the garage can fit two little cars <br />but it is impossible to put two full-sized vehicles in the garage. Nesbitt stated she plans to live there for a <br />long time and that she would like to make the property more usable. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Lemke opened the public hearing at 6:40 p.m. <br /> <br />There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Lemke closed the public hearing at 6:40 p.m. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit stated it seems to be a good spot for the garage and is a reasonable request. <br /> <br />Schwingler questioned if further stormwater management improvements could be made or whether a <br />further reduction in hardcover is possible. <br />
