PRESENT: Tourville ABSENT: Drilling Oon�n - Welk LaMotte l Vermeulen rda- PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE REQUEST FROM MELINDA HUGHES, 7187 W. ROBIN LANE Ms. Hughes is requesting to erect an attached single car garage (14'X25') for storage and car. The garage would encroach on the side yard set back by 4 feet. Ms. Hughes stated that the only change from the time of application is that the garage depth would be 25 and was put on the application at 24 feet. Tourville questioned the position of the windows for the house next to hers and she felt that it shouldn't be a problem. No residents were present to oppose or comment on the request and none were received by staff prior to the hearing. MOTION by Welk, second by Vermeulen to close the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes for May 7, 1996 were tabled due to lack of quorum present for that meeting. VARIANCE REQUEST Tourville stated that there were at least two homes that have received variances in the same area. Welk agreed stating there is perhaps even more. MOTION by Welk, second by Vermeulen to recommend approval of the variance request to City Council for the following reasons: - increase in property value - better to have storage space than to have item stored outside - it appears that a garage was meant to be placed there because of the placement of the driveway. PZ6 -4MM 1 Motion carried unanimously. APPEARANCES Randy Neugent could not appear due to other commitments. ROCKEY GOERTZ - HENSEL PROPERTY PROPOSAL Mr. Goertz presented a proposal for the Hensel property. He is requesting to rezone the property except for the C1 district to R2A. The sketch plan he provided he said was just that because the boundaries of the C1 district are unclear. Mr. Goertz pointed out that the property adjacent to this property (on the other side of the creek) is also zoned R2A. Mr. Goertz is proposing high density single family homes, although he stated he could easily get in 18 townhomes.
