BOARD BUSINESS Case #1: Request for a variance from corner side yard setback requirements; case of Thomas King. Sylvia Frolik stated that Mr. King resides at 5915 - 177th Avenue N.W. Mr. King's home was constructed in 1965 and at that time, he did not anticipate that his home would be a corner lot. Subsequently, the lot was developed without taking into consideration that at some point in time there would be a 35 foot setback on the south property line. Mr. King is requesting a variance from that setback in order to place a small accessory structure in the vicinity of his current garage and driveway. Ms. Frolik noted that it would not be feasible for Mr. King to expand his attached garage into the front yard as it would then encroach on the thoroughfare setback. Ms. Frolik also noted that 177th Avenue just recently became an officially dedicated public street with the platting of Echo Ridge in 1991; 177th Avenue is now constructed in its correct alignment to Class V standards. The Board of Adjustment proceeded to review the proposed Findings of Fact. Motion by Boardmember Deemer and seconded by Boardmember Bawden to amend Item #6 of the proposed Findings of Fact to indicate that the principal structure and attached garage on the property originally fronted on St. Francis Boulevard. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Chairman Hendriksen, Boardmembers LaDue, Bawden, Deemer and Thorud. Voting No: None. Absent: Boardmembers Zimmerman and Terry. Motion by Boardmember Deemer and seconded by Boardmember Bawden to amend Item #11 of the proposed Findings of Fact to indicate that the applicant is prohibited from constructing the accessory structure in the north yard only because of drainfield, septic and well locations. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Hendriksen, Boardmembers LaDue, Bawden, Deemer and Thorud. Voting No: None. Absent: Boardmembers Zimmerman and Terry. Motion by Boardmember Deemer and seconded by Boardmember Thorud to amend Item #18 of the proposed Findings of Fact to indicate that the variance will not increase congestion of public streets. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Hendriksen, Boardmembers LaDue, Bawden, Deemer and Thorud. Voting No: None. Absent: Boardmembers Zimmerman and Terry. Motion by Boardmember Deemer and seconded by Boardmember Thorud to amend Item #19 of the proposed Findings of Fact to indicate that the variance will not violate the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Chairman Hendriksen, Boardmembers LaDue, Bawden, Deemer and Thorud. Voting No: None. Absent: Boardmembers Zimmerman and Terry. Motion by Boardmember Bawden and seconded by Boardmember Deemer to amend Item #20 of the proposed Findings of Fact to indicate that the variance will not grant the applicant any special privileges.
