APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion/Second: Stroot/Olson, to approve the minutes of the Board of Adjustments and Appeals meeting held on June 13, 2002, as published. Motion carried 4-0. III. VARIANCES Continued from June 13,2002 A. Request #2002-06 by Warren and Brenda Dammann of 6336 Creekview Lane for approval to permit a garage addition 4.5 feet from the side property lot line. City Code requires a 15-foot side yard setback. Warren Dammann said he and his wife have discussed various options with their architect since the June 13 Board meeting. They are now proposing to scale back the plan for the garage addition to 9.5 feet from the side property lot line. They have given up the additional room around the vehicles, and instead of adding 8 feet to the garage have now added 3 feet. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS & APPEALS July 11, 2002 Page 2 Brenda Dammann said they were previously requesting 4 feet for the stairway width and that has been reduced to 3 feet. The garage would have two stories, with the lower level to be used as an extra room for the home. The stairway would be inside so it can be used during the winter. Both levels would be heated. There were no questions from the Board members. Dunham commended the Dammanns for their work in reducing the amount of space needed. Johnson said in the past four weeks there have not been any additional calls or people stopping by to look at the plan or inquire about it. Dunham opened the public hearing. Having no one appear, Dunham closed the public hearing. Motion/Second: Olson/O'Leary, to approve a garage addition 9.5 feet from the side property lot line, the hardship being the shape of the lot. Motion carried 5-0. IV. OLD BUSINESS Johnson said regarding the request at the June meeting by Daniel and Theresa Kosch for approval to construct a concrete sport court, they also needed to receive approval from the Preserve Association. Johnson heard from the Preserve Association two days after that meeting, and they plan to bring the matter before their Board for architectural review. They asked for the minutes of the June 13 meeting, which will be sent to them. Johnson said she went out to look at the drainage issue and will be talking to the designer. Johnson said the deadline for Nathan Bergeland to request an extension of his 2001 variance is July 12. So far she had not heard from him, and he has not taken out a permit, in which case he will not be able to enlarge his non-conforming shoreland structure and garage,but he could remodel the existing structure. V. NEW BUSINESS Johnson said the deadline for submitting requests for next month's meeting was July 11, and nothing had been received. If a meeting were called, the date would be August 8. VI. ADJOURNMENT Motion/Second: O'Leary/Ramunno, to adjourn the meeting. Chairman Dunham adjourned the meeting at 7:13 p.m.
