Reasons for granting the variance: Variance will not impair adequate
supply of light and air to adjacent property, or create an unreasonable
increase of congestion in the public street, or increase the danger of
fire or endanger the public safety, or unreasonably dilninish property
values within the neighborhood, and is not contrary to the intent of
the ordinance.
6. A variance request to allow an attached garage to be constructed within
the front yard setback requirelnent. Lawrence and Lynn Gantner.

members and members of the public Lawrence and Lynn Gantner's variance
request.
With no further questions from planning COlmnission melnbers, Chairman
Richard Carlson opened the public hearing portion of the Ineeting.
Mr. Lawrence Gantner explained the reasons for his request: He would
like a larger garage, a garage roof line that would be different froln
others in the neighborhood, this garage addition would increase the
resale value of his hOlne and others in the neighborhood, and previous
planning Crnmnissions have approved variance requests to allow
encroachlnent in the front yard setback requirements. with no further
input from the public, Chairman Richard Carlson then closed the public
hearing portion and asked for a motion.
Therefore, motion was made by Dan MCConnon and seconded by Cindy Lelmn
to deny the variance request to allow construction of an attached
garage within the front yard setback requirelnent. Voting in favor:
Richard carlson, Richard Martie, Cindy Lelmn, and Dan MCConnon.

demonstrate any hardship that already exists which would prohibit his
garage to be constructed within building setback requirelnents.
