SEPTEMBER 6,2006 DRAFT MINUTES VAR�1I�'CE BOARD Commissioner poherty was not supportive of the application; noting previous discussions and his o�iginal skepticism at the time the Minor Subdivision was granted, and the Commission's comments at that time related to development of the lot. Commissioner Doherty addressed the pz•oblems with a reduced-length cl�iveway and cars parked on the driveway creating safety issues and impediments to drivers' views of children playing in the area; and other visibility issues it would create. Commissioner poherty noted that he may be supportive of a smaller variance specific to a garage, but ten or fifteen feet (10-15'} was too close for the entire structure and out of character with the neighborhood. Commissioner Boerigter opined that this was a difficult decision, but specifically recalled the meetings when the Minor Subdivision was reluctantly granted by the Planning Commission, and comments that the applicant shouldn't expect to receive any variances to get the triangular lot to work. Commissioner Boerigter further opined that a home could be made to work on the lot, but it would not support a traditionally-designed home and would require creativity. Commissioner Boerigter concurred with comments of the neighbors that the plight of this landowner was due to the lot split, and had the existing home been moved to make this lot larger, it would be buildable. Commissioner Boerigter noted that the owner had elected not to move the existing structure, thus creating a lot they couldn't sell due to prospective builders/buyers not being able to site a home. Commissioner Boerigter opined that a fifteen foot (15') variance was too much, and without a specific design or plan to consider further, justification of a variance would not be applicable; thus he could not support the request. Chair Bakeman, wllile posaibly consideringa ten foot (10'} variance request; she could not support this request.
