Planning and Zoning Commission Page Two October 6. 1987 part of these minutes.) He said the City Attorney told him that the City can grant a variance if the party can prove a hardship. Mr. Prachar stated that increased width would cause a problem with a shed that is already there. Council liaison Wilharber stated that the logic of Article 3- 33.03 #1. is that if the tower should fall it wouldn't fall on other properties and lot size is a real concern. A lengthy discussion of variances needed and how to resolve the situation followed. Motion by Lindgren, second by Vermeulen that Prachar get a signed statement from the Cellular I engineers swearing that if the tower were to fall it would fall upon itself, or the lot size must be increased to accomodate the 280 foot tower. Example: 280 ft. -35 ft. ht. limit =245 £t. +50 ft. front setback =295 ft. 280 ft. -35 ft. ht. limit =245 ft. +25 ft. back setback =270 ft. 280 ft. -35 ft. ht. limit =245 ft. +10 ft. side setback =255 ft. 295 £t. +270 ft. =565 ft. 255 £t. +255 ft. =510 ft. 565 ft.x510 ft. =lot size needed. - Aye: Lindgren and Vermeulen.
