property line. Member Egli stated her concern for th elarge structure and water run off, more so than existing landscaping. Member Rhody asked why the discussion has moved from a conditional use permit to a variance. Member Mulder noted there are other options available for the setback and there is no physical hardship. The future adjacent neighbors should also be protected from a building of this size with a long wall. On the amendment vote to maintain five-foot setback. Ayes: Cunningham, Egli, Olson, Mulder, Klausing Nays: Rhody, Wilke Carried 5-2. On the original main motion, as amended.

Planning File 3210: A request by Steve and Kristin Youngquist for a Variance from Section 1 016.22A (Non- conformities) and Section 1016.26B1 (Storm Water Management), of the City Code, to allow the redevelopment of the parcel with a single family home located at 391 Owasso boulevard South. Chair Klausing opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the request as described in the project report dated May 10, 2000. Thomas Paschke explained the lot size (6,690 s.f.) as a pre-existing, non-conforming lot of record. The lot is 40 feet in width. The proposed structure will be set back 80 feet from the shoreline, meets the side yard setback of five feet and front yard of 30 feet. The structure was constructed in 1910. The proposed building will have a 1,440 s.t. parcel. Staff recommended approval. Member Egli asked about details of bluff setbacks (none) and if there are pervious surfaces for drives and patios. Staff felt one way to reduce impervious surface (not recommended) was to move structure closer to the road. Steve Youngquist stated there are unique physical features of the site (the old home was damp and mildewed). The proposal is to retain all existing trees. The new structure reduces impervious surface by 7%. Approval will increase property values and public safety, moving the garage will improve safety. Neighbors have been supportive.
