Status Report - Meeting with George Reiling re Royal Hilla North Preliminary Plat Woodburn reported that he met with George Reiling and Marcel Eibensteiner relative to the proposed extension of Arden View Drive, ~ of which is proposed on the Reiling property and ~ within the . Royal Hills North plat. Proposal, as discussed, was that a row of lots on the Reiling property, and the north ~ of the road be incorporated in the Royal Bills North plat: these lots to be owned by Reiling, and sold for him by Eibensteiner: assessments for street and utilites to be spread on lots on both sides of the street.

REPORt OF VILLAGE PLANNER ORLYN MILLER (absent) 15"jl" Case No. 83-28, Variances for Garage Addition. ~ Edgewater Ave. Councilman Hicks di.p~ayed a transparency of area map, indicating the Carlson house and proposed garage addition. Hicks noted that 2 variances are proposed, a 4' sideyard variance (6' from property line) and a 16.5' front setback vari.ance (23.5' from front property 11ne) . Hicks noted the location of the house to the ~ast, which is built up to, or very near, the adjacent property line, but at a lower elevation. Hicks noted that the Carlson and neighboring driveways parallel this common property line: separated by'a retaining wall: noted that the neighboring lot also has a drivewsy to Ridgewood Road. Hicks noted that there. is an approximate grade change, between the road and Carlson garage of 12':t, as it. exists : reported .that the Board of Appeals and Planning Commission recommend approval of the variances as requested, based on the topography of thll land and improvement of traffic safety on Edgewater Avenue. In discussion, Carlson explained that the proposed garage will face the northwe.st. Driveway. will be relocated to the northwest, away from the east property line; noted that .the existing driveway is virtually impossible to traverse: noted that the proposed garage will be at a 3' - 4' lower elevation, with a longer run, and, therefore, not at as steep a grade. Carlson said he has aigned statements from neighbors to the west and north, spproving the proposed garage addition; reported that his neighbor to the east has not given approval because the garage, as proposed, will block his view to the northwest (not a lake view). . Hicks moved, seconded by Mulcahy, that Council grsnt the 4' sideyard variance and the 16.5' front setback vsrisnce as ~resented, on the basis of the land topography. In further discussion, it was noted that the variances are really encroachments by corners of the garage, as it is angled. It was further noted that the topography and narrow lot width are problem conditions purchased by the owner, which he now desires to minimize. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)
