Therefore, needing a one foot variance on the side of the
property. Chairman Elect Richard Carlson asked for any input
from the public on this, and the abutting neighbor, Mrs. Hedtke,
questioned as to the amount of feet there would be between the
proposed existing attached garage on this new house and her
house. Zoning Administrator Anderson countered that there
would be 20 feet between her existing house and the new proposed
garage. Chairman Elect Richard Carlson also asked if there
was any additional input from the staff, and the staff indicated
to Mr. Carlson, that we see no problem with the Variance Request,
even though it is only a one foot Variance Request, it still
needs to go the proper procedures for a Variance Request. Motion
by Joyce Dowling, seconded by Ed Schaffer, to approve the
Variance Request to allow a house and garage to be built within
nine feet of the side property line, therefore, needing a
one foot Variance. The motion carried unanimously with Richard
