The Planning Commission of November 5,1997, recommended denial of <br /> the side yard setback variance for the attached deck. On November 10, 1997, the City Council <br /> denied the side yard setback variance for the attached deck. The applicant attended neither of <br /> these meetings, due to being out of the country. The applicant waited the necessary six months <br /> to make application for a new variance and come before the Planning Commission. <br /> Mr. Ringwald stated that the applicant has eliminated the proposed deck from this proposal and <br /> has reduced the size of the house expansion to match with the existing basement wall which is <br /> beneath the steps to the house. Staffbclieves that these reductions taken by the applicant <br /> minimize the request to the greatest extend possible. <br /> . Commissioner Rye arrived at 7:38 p.m. <br />
