Chairperson Hanson asked if there were any other houses in the area without a garage. <br />Mrs. Bates indicated there was one house without a garage by the park and another one <br />further down the street. Mr. Bates then indicated that the resident at 1971 South Robin <br />has a detached garage that is 24 x 24. <br /> <br />Mr. Tracy Tratar of 1710 Peltier Lake Drive noted he was on the agenda for the meeting <br />under appearances to discuss the variance process. He then stated that with the current <br />setback requirements for corner lots he would not be allowed to build the two-car garage <br />he wants to build. He then asked the Commission why the setback on corner lots is 35 <br />feet. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson asked if Mr. Tratar had seen the new version of Ordinance 4 as the <br />amendments recently made may solve the issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Tratar indicated he had come to City Hall three weeks ago for a building permit and <br />was told he would need a variance in order to proceed with the planned garage. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson asked that the discussion of Mr. Tratar’s setback issue be heard later <br />in the meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Bates asked if he would be able to meet the setbacks if he went with an attached <br />garage. Commissioner Devine inquired as to how far from the property line the house <br />was located and then explained that the garage would need to be 10 feet off of the <br />property line. <br /> <br />Mrs. Diane Olson of 1983 South Robin Lane indicated she lived next door to the <br />applicant and was concerned for the distance from the property line. Chairperson Hanson <br />indicated the garage would need to be 10 feet off of the property line. <br /> <br />Mrs. Olson indicated she has a big tree, planted by her now deceased father, which hangs <br />over onto the Bates property that she does not want to have to cut down. She then asked <br />how the tree issue would be handled. Commissioner Devine indicated that, if the tree <br />hangs over onto Mr. Bates property, it would be his responsibility to trim the tree for <br />construction. Mr. Bates then stated he and his wife had no intention of cutting down Mrs. <br />Olson’s tree and told her they would contact her to discuss how to handle the trimming of <br />the tree. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner DeVine, seconded by Commissioner Wilharber to close <br />the public hearing.
