Mr. Musenbrock stated his proposal was optimal but understood that his property had concerns. <br />He reported he could be flexible with the width of the garage. <br />Chairperson Levine questioned if the garage could be located on the other side if the driveway. <br />Mr. Musenbrock commented there were several issues with this proposal, such as the grade <br />change, his mature trees and existing sprinkler system. He believed this was not the proper <br />location for the garage as it would detract from the neighborhood. It was his opinion that the <br />proposed location made the most sense and would impact the surrounding properties the least. <br />Commissioner VanScoy inquired what else would be placed in the garage besides the full-sized <br />truck. <br />Mr. Musenbrock stated he had a 1967 14-foot fishing boat and snowmobiles that would be <br />placed in the garage. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if the applicant had any concerns with putting the garage so close <br />to the bluff line. <br />Mr. Musenbrock did not have any concerns as the property has not changed since the home was <br />originally built. <br />Commissioner VanScoy questioned how the applicant would address erosion control. <br />Mr. Musenbrock reported the building would have gutters and downspouts to direct water away <br />from the bluff line. He wanted to see the integrity of the riverbank maintained. <br />Commissioner Nosan inquired how much closer the garage would be to the bluff line than the <br />house and pool. <br />Mr. Musenbrock estimated that the garage would be five to ten feet closer to the bluff than the <br />house and swimming pool. City Planner Anderson indicated the house was 30 feet from the bluff <br />line and the swimming pool was slightly closer to the bluff line. <br />Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Maul, to close the public hearing. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, Maul, Brauer, Nosan, <br />and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />Chairperson Levine closed the public hearing closed at 7:32 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Commissioner Brauer recused himself from discussing this case. <br />Planning Commission/September 4, 2014 <br />Page 3 of 11 <br />
