Bowman indicated in the spring of 2011 they had filed a variance application <br />seeking a lot line setback variance. That variance was passed on the Consent Agenda. Bowman stated <br />had they known they would need to go through the variance process again, they would have turned in a <br />more complete set of plan views with his previous submittal that showed the proposed footprint of the <br />deck. <br /> <br />Bowman stated a complete or partial waiver of the fee for this application would be appreciated since it is <br />a large sum of money for him. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the addition to the house had been added a couple of years ago. <br /> <br />Bowman stated the drawings he had submitted in 2011 showed a sliding door at that location for a future <br />deck and that he is unable to move the deck over due to that sliding door. Bowman stated he should have <br />shown the deck in that plan but that he did not realize it would be an issue. <br /> <br />McMillan commented piecemeal variances are more difficult for the Council. <br /> <br />Bowman stated he understands that. <br /> <br />Levang noted the City has considerable staff time involved in this application as well as the time of the <br />Planning Commission and City Council. <br /> <br />McMillan stated it does not appear the City Council is in favor of approving the fee waiver. <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 09/09/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 08/26/2013 [Page 4 of 21]
