Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Centerville held its regular meeting on August 1, 1989 at City Hall. Chairperson Tourville called the meeting to order at 7:06 p.m. Present: Welk, Drilling, Vermeulen, Lindgren and liaison Neumann. Motion by Vermeulen, second by Welk to accept the minutes of the July 5, 1989 meeting, motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS: Discussion of the variance request from Dan Bellard, 1994 North Robin Lane, to build a garage 15 feet into the setback at 1994 North Robin Lane (10 feet from the property line). Mr. Bellard was not in attendance. It appears, based upon the sketch included with the variance request, that the need to place the garage into the setback is due to the placement of the deck on Mr. Bellard's home. It appeared the general consensus of the Commission members was Mr. Bellard's situation was a result of his own planning, and that there may be other alternatives to construct a garage on his property that would not require a variance. Commission member Welk noted that there did not seem to be justification based upon the four criteria listed in ordinance #4 to grant a variance to Mr. Bellard. Commission member Lindgren stated that he was in favor of granting the variance. He felt development behind the property at 1994 North Robin Lane may change Mr. Bellard's situation. Motion by Drilling, second by Vermeulen to recommend to the City Council to deny the variance request made by Dan Bellard at 1994 North Robin Lane, to build a garage 15 feet into the setback at 1994 North Robin Lane (10 feet from the property line) for the following reasons: - there do not seem to be special conditions and circumstances existing which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved, as the setting of Mr. Bellard's home and deck seem to be his own doing;
