Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, Nosan, Andrusko, Brauer, and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: None Community Development Director Gladhill asked that the Commission address the front yard and side corner setback variance request. Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to adopt Resolution #16-10-181 - Approving Findings of Fact #0968 for Variance to Front Yard and Side Corner Setback and Resolution #16-10-182 - Approving Issuance of Variance to Front Yard and Side Corner Setback. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, VanScoy, Brauer, and Nosan. Voting No: Andrusko. Absent: None Commissioner Andrusko stated he opposed the front yard and side corner setback variances as he believed a small house style could be placed on these lots in order to comply with City requirements. Community Development Director Gladhill requested the Commission now review the lot depth standards variance. Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to adopt Resolution #16-10-189 - Approving Findings of Fact #0970 for Variance to Lot Depth Standards and Resolution #16-10-190 - Approving Issuance of Variance to Lot Depth Standards for Lot 16, Block 2 and Lot 1, Block 1. Further discussion Community Development Director Gladhill requested the Commission make a determination on Lots 3 and 4. Friendly Amendment: Motion by Commission Bauer, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy to recommend Lots 3 and 4 be combined into one lot. Commissioner Nosan did not agree with the lot combination. She asked if the 36 foot homes would be out of place compared to the surrounding 50-foot-deep homes. Mr. Bona explained that not every home within the neighborhood would be 50 feet deep. He did not believe there would be a noticeable difference in the homes from the street. He reported 36-foot-deep homes were being built in Brookfield 6th at this time. He stated again, for the record, that he would be willing to have covenants approved with the Council to ensure the homes on Lots 3 and 4 were no more than 36 feet deep. Commissioner Bauer believed these options were reasonable; however, the City would have no way of enforcing this requirement. For this reason, he supported the combination of Lots 3 and 4.
