Mrs. Hasiak stated their willingness to remove the "lean-to" exterior improvement and that their <br /> primary request was to be allowed to make interior improvements similar to other garages located <br /> within the City. Mrs. Hasiak explained that the house located on the property has a crawl space <br /> unsuitable for storage due to water, sewer and foundation damage. Mrs. Hasiak also explained <br /> that they intended on using the existing structure as a garage. Mrs. Hasiak stated that they <br /> currently do not have a garage. <br /> Council Member Nelson questioned whether the issue involved removing the non - conforming <br /> structure. Mayor Wilharber explained the variance request was concerning the interior <br /> improvements and the exterior "lean -to" addition to the non - conforming structure. <br /> Mayor Wilharber stated that the non - conforming structure had been located on the parcel for many <br /> years. Mr. March indicated the non - conforming structure has been grand fathered in and may stay <br /> on the property; however, a variance is needed to improve the structure. <br /> Council Member Nelson questioned if the variance was denied, would the interior improvements <br /> and exterior construction need to be removed. Mr. March confirmed that it would. <br /> Council Member Nelson questioned Mrs. Hasiak as to the status of the improvements. Mrs. <br /> Hasiak indicated that the interior has had a cement floor poured, wiring run, insulated, and sheet <br /> rocked. Mrs. Hasiak also stated these items needed to be done to convert the pole barn to a <br /> garage. <br /> Motion by Council Member Sweeney, seconded by Council Member Travis to close the <br /> public hearin. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Mayor Wilharber closed the public hearing at 6:17 p.m. <br /> 3. Salazar Variance Request <br /> Mr. and Mrs. Pedro Salazar, 7336 Old Mill Road, appeared before Council to review their <br /> submitted variance request allowing them to construct a six (6) foot, wooden, privacy fence in <br /> their rear yard. Mr. And Mrs. Salazar explained that their property is on a corner lot and <br /> according to Ordinance #4 they have two (2) front yards. Mr. Salazar has begun construction of <br /> the privacy fence one (1) foot into the road right -of -way. The Salazars presented Council with <br /> two (2) letters from neighboring residents indicting their approval of the placement of the fence. <br /> The Planning and Zoning Commission is in the process of amending and defining the language <br /> relating to comer lots and denied the variance. <br /> Mr. Salazar stated that it would be cost prohibitive for him to relocate the fence and existing <br /> sprinkler line. Mr. Salazar also stated that it was his intention to provide a safer environment for <br /> his neighbors and his dogs. Mr. Salazar expressed the need to complete the fencing prior to <br /> making the improvements to the kennel as required previously by Council. <br /> Mayor Wilharber questioned whether allowing the fence to remain in the City' road right -of -way <br /> would interfere with public utilities. Mr. Palzer, Building Official/Public Works Director, <br /> indicated that utilities were run underneath the sidewalk within the Salazar's development so it <br /> would not interfere with same. <br /> Page 3 of 14 <br />
