Recommend Approval as Submitted <br />3. Recommend Denial <br />4. Table <br /> <br />Chair Vijums opened the floor to Commissioner comments. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bjorklund asked if this was a triangulated lot and if this was the case, these lots <br />are an impediment to development. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Fransen stated this lot was at the end of a cul-de-sac which led to the angled side <br />lot lines and curved front property line. She reported the applicant understands this lot was irregular <br />which affected previous development on the lot. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bjorklund questioned if there was access to the sides of the house to get to the <br />rear of the home. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Fransen explained the property to the east has a 15 foot side setback, which would <br />allow for access to the rear yard. <br /> <br />Commissioner Weber recommended the applicant keep a minimum of 10 feet on each side of the <br />home. He noted he supported the request before the Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blilie indicated she supported the variance request as well. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums asked if the driveway would be concrete. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Fransen deferred this question to the applicant. <br /> <br />Steve Petry, representative for the applicant, stated the driveway addition would be constructed <br />with the same material as the existing driveway. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums questioned why the existing two car garage was inoperable. <br /> <br />Mr. Petry explained the size of the applicants’ cars was making the existing garage inoperable. <br /> <br />Commissioner Weber moved and Commissioner Wicklund seconded a motion to <br />recommend approval of Planning Case 23-008 for a Variance at 1475 Dawn Circle based on <br />the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the May 3, <br />2023, report to the Planning Commission.
