houses will maintain the existing house setback and conform to the adjacent structure setbacks. <br />The variance was sent to the DNR for their approval and certification. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt closed the regular portion of the Board of Adjustment meeting at 7:10 p.m. in <br />order to conduct the public hearing. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Chairman Nixt called the public hearing to order at 7:10 p.m. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Richard Dahlman, applicant, indicated as a point of clarification, Countryside Homes is actually <br />taking title to the two lots and then building the homes. The homes that will be built to replace <br />the one there will be in the same position on the property as the existing home. This places the <br />home further back from the river than the rest of the houses along the rest of Bowers Drive, other <br />than the home that is immediately adjacent. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if the existing garage will remain. <br /> <br />Mr. Dahlman replied the garage will be removed as well. The new homes will have attached <br />garages. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if the existing drainage field will be abandoned with the new drainage <br />fields in the confines of each respective lot. <br /> <br />Mr. Dahlman replied that is correct. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt questioned if the septic meets the requirement setbacks, as he thought 150 feet <br />was the minimum setback for septic. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald indicated she will research the requirements. <br /> <br />Board Member Van Scoy asked if the other lots are of a similar width. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald replied they are basically all 100-foot width lots, except those that were <br />odd shaped on curves. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt commented he has seen a few of these in the last three or four years. He <br />indicated he is inclined to grant the variance subject to making sure the septic system is in <br />compliance with the requirements. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Board Member Watson, to close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Board Member Watson, Brauer, Jeffrey and Van <br />Scoy. Voting No: None. Absent: Board Members Johnson and Shepherd. <br /> <br />Board of Adjustment/August 5, 2004 <br /> Page 3 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
