Ar. Coakley stated that the only way he could
create a double garaga and also improve the
safety of his entry and exit point was to
receive a variance. t•1r. Coakley claimed
that the County had inspected his property
and expressed no concern about plans to
further encroach on the road easement, and
that the Village should have a letter expressing
this in a short time.
Kullberg moved, Ryerse seconded, that approval
of the variance be granted as long as the
garage does not encroach any farth.r than
the existing garage on the side lot line and
that it does not extend beyond existing
garages toward the road. 14otion, Ayes (6) -
Mays (0).
Acting Chairman Searles noted that this
property was in the projected path of future
Highway 112. Since no official action has
been taken declaring where #12 will be, it
was felt tilat approval of tais "simple
division" was in order.
Ryerse moved, Guthrie seconded, that the
division of Parcel 3100 be approved in
accordance with Section 39.021 of the ordinance.
Motion, Ayes (6) - Nays (0).
The required setback for a stable is 1S0'
and Acting Chairman Searles explained that
the obvious intent is to protect the surrounding
property owners. Mr. Benhardus explained
that his stable would be encroaching on the
Park Reserve which is heavily wooded and as
a result would probably never be intensly
used. In order to construct a stable to
adequately house his four horses and their
feed, Nr. Benhardus would require a variance
no matter where on the lot it would be located.
Air. Benhardus felt that the proposed location
was the most reasonable because the encroachment
was on the Park Reserve, and that the natural
terrain and vegetation would reduce the visibility
of the stable.
