2) Request for a variance to front yard setback; case of Steven and Lauri Pfeiffer. Chairperson Hendriksen called the special Board of Adjustment meeting back to order at 7:36 p.m. BOARD BUSINESS Case #1: Request for a Variance to Front Yard Setback; Case of Mike and Karen Segar Zoning Admilaistrator Frolik stated the applicants' home and attached garage were constructed prior to the establishment of the 110 foot thoroughfare setback requirement, at a location that is approximately 98 feet from the centerline of C.S.A.H.#27, and is, therefore, considered lawful noneonfomflfig. She explained the applicants are proposing to construct a 14'x23' addition to their existing attached garage, which requires a variance to City Code to expand the nonconforming use. Board Member Bawden suggested the City review the accessory structure setback ordinance due to the increase in requests for variance. Board Member Deemer stated the original intent of the ordinance was to require an 88 foot structure setback from the centerlhae, and that it has now been expanded to 110 feet. He agreed that the ordinance should be looked at along with the side setback ordinance.
