Board Member Watson asked how often they take the trailers in and out. <br /> <br />Mr. Rockow indicated it varies on the job, but at least once a week. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if they could grant an Interim Use Permit. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald stated that was a viable option, but noted an Interim Use Permit has a <br />maximum of five years. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated they could grant an Interim Use Permit with conditions to screen and <br />comply with code. He noted there would be a fee but it would be cheaper than building a garage. <br /> <br />Mr. Rockow asked what the setback requirements would be. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated he could leave the trailers pretty much where they are at, and they <br />would rely on Staff to negotiate conditions that address the concerns of Mr. Rockow and the <br />neighbors. He stated the trailers would have to be in working order and kept neat. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mr. Rockow, Associate Planner Wald stated Staff would probably <br />not charge a fee, as Mr. Rockow has already paid the fee for a variance and Conditional Use <br />Permit, but they may need a performance bond. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated he would not be in favor of granting a variance, but he would propose <br />an Interim Use Permit so Mr. Rockow can continue storing his trailers, with terms worked out <br />with Staff. <br /> <br />Mr. Rockow asked if he was being asked to commit to one or another tonight. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated he was being asked to allow the issue to be tabled so he can discuss the <br />option with Staff. He indicated they would continue it to the March meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Rockow asked if he could ask his neighbors what they want. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated that they made their choices fairly clear. He indicated if it has been this <br />way for 20 years, the least obtrusive is no change. <br /> <br />Mr. Rockow asked why Chairperson Nixt would not grant the variance. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated he believes a structure could be built within the setbacks, and he is <br />always concerned with neighbor's opinions in an area with a lake, where aesthetics are very <br />important. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald stated if the Planning Commission and City Council approve the Interim <br />Use Permit it gives Staff a tool to use if they get a complaint. She indicated there would not be <br />code enforcement issues to deal with in that case. <br /> <br />Board of Adjustment/February 5, 2004 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
