Schlee, and Dean Schlee. A quorum was established. Re: 1984.2 - Petition for side-yard variance in Worsley's Addition Chairman Behrens read from the notice of the public hearing. The notice stated that Raymond Waclaw, William Carpenter, and Jeffrey Farren wished to petition for a side-yard variance on Lot 3, Block 2 of Worsley's Addition. Attorney Grant Wenger was present in behalf of the petitioners., He presented aerial pictures of the property. He stated that in 1908 when the property was platted there were no provisions for set-back lines, so according to current standards, it leaves a very small area to build on. They are requesting that the side yards by reduced from 30 feet to 10 feet. Mr. A. Earl and Ina Schlee are the party interested in purchasing and building on the land. Attorney Wegner showed photographs of the property. There is a tree line running on the west edge of the property. He stated that if the property were to be salable to anyone other than the next door neighbors they would need a variance. The zoning on the property is R-1. Mr. Huber inquired as to how the house would be situated on the property. Mr. Schlee showed the plans for the house. There was question as to where the front and side yards were. The driveway would come on to Main Street. Attorney Wegner read from the Zoning Ordinance book. It stated that on a corner lot the front shall be the narrowest side edge of the lot fronting on a street, pro- vided that the owner may orient his building toward either street. This would make the side facing Main Street the front yard. Chairman Behrens also pointed out that Worsley Street is not-a very traveled road. Mr. Becker stated that we were only allowed to give a 25% variance which would be a reduction to 22 1/2 feet. Mr. Medin felt that in order for them to build on the property the members would have to recommend a variance from 30 feet to 10 feet. Chairman Behrens inquired as to whether there were any more questions. He stated that because of the age and uniqueness of the property that he would entertain that a motion be made to any effect that the members felt suitable. Mr. Medin made a motion that the members accept the petition and variance the petitioners are asking for and to recommend it to the City Council. Mr. Becker seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken. Behrens - aye Becker - aye Medin - aye Huber - aye The motion carried unanimously. Chairman Behrens suggested that a letter of recommendation also be sent with the minutes to the City Council. Mr. Becker was instructed to draft the letter. Chairman Behrens moved that the meeting be adjourned. The.meeting was adjourned.
