Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, July 14 Page 4 that he is a builder and remodels which requires that his work be done on the building site, not at his home. Day said he does keep his supplies and saws, etc. in this garage; doesn't want to throw materials away that can be used on other building sites; said he does not have a cabinet shop operation at his home; has a table saw, radial arm saw, wheel barrow, etc. which he takes to the job site. In discussion, Hansen said that she frequently walks past this property and seldom, if ever, has seen any construction equipment in the yard. Day said he has some sawhorses and 28' pump jack poles he'd like to store in the garage which are not inside now. Miller reviewed the City Code relative to exterior storage; also reviewed the definition of what constitutes a "home occupation". . Mr. Clepper said he objects to the garage addition for two reasons: 1. Scenic (blocks his view) 2. Use of the garage is warehousing - no domestic use whatsoever. Clepper said Day receives truck deliveries late at night and early in the morning; reported that Day has a truck and a car; showed Council pictures of the property and a picture of an employee working in the yard. Clepper said his view of the bay will be obstructed by the addition of the garage. Kim Klawiter, 3262 Sandeen Road, said he is a neighbor and a police officer; has not seen anyon-site construction or outside storage on the Day property; noted that the Clepper garage does not have a door and his car does not fit entirely into the garage because of wood and miscellaneous storage. Day said he has done some work at home, but will discontinue this if this is required. Day noted that Clepper's main view is to Lake Johanna, not to the south from a side window. Day said he occasionally has had a Shaw Lumber delivery of something; job materials are delivered to the job site; is surprised to hear of early or late deliveries. Hans Lagerstrom, 3255 Sandeen Road, said he thinks it would be an improvement to the neighborhood to have the detached garage removed; favors the variance. Dennis Bussard, 3243 Sandeen Road, said he also favors the variance. In discussion, Woodburn noted that there are various degrees of variances all along the street; expressed concern about noise of a commercial activity in a residential area. Hansen moved, seconded by Sather, that Council approve the 6' front setback variance for the addition to the attached garage, subject to: 1. Removal of the detached garage in six months, and 2. No exterior storage on the property. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Case No. 86-26, Site Plan Review and Sideyard Setback Variance for Office/Warehouse - Mike Rich, 1253 Connelly Avenue . Council was referred to Planning memo (6/26/86), Board of Appeals report (6/26/86) and to proposed site plan for an office/warehouse at 1253 Connelly Avenue. Miller briefly described the proposal; noted that the new structure will . consist of 4,800 square feet of office and 8,000 square feet of warehouse; explained that the proposed use is permitted on the site under present 1-2 (Industrial) zoning; advised that the applicant is requesting a 15' sideyard setback variance from the east property line (20' required) to provide for more landscaping along the west of the site where it will be more visible and will also provide more room for truck movement on this rather narrow site, with a fenced storage area to the north of the site. Miller noted that there is little or no public visual access to the east sideyard area which is adjacent to S.P.B.S.'s employee parking lot and dock area.
