Mayor Gamec stated the hardship was a requirement and they have granted so many variances <br />based on looks of the area but he would not have any problems with it. <br /> <br />Councihnember Kurak stated there were three letters from residents and they had no problem <br />with this at all. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated she would go along with the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />and Board of Adjustments, and felt the letter from Bob Limbic made a lot of sense. <br /> <br />Mr. Ronallo stated he had been in the area since 1965 and grew up in the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated the angled garage did not line up with the rest of area. <br /> <br />Mr. Ronallo stated he wanted the garage to flow with the rest of the house and still be able to get <br />the driveway in there without taking out the tree. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated most attached garages did not sit at an angle with the house. <br />She stated the garage is still sitting at a funny angle compared to the rest of the neighborhood and <br />she did understand it would be a nuisance in the beginning to move the pool. <br /> <br />Mr. Ronallo stated the pool was a permanent move when he installed it fifteen years ago. He <br />stated he could not add onto any part of the house and he needed this room so this was the only <br />option to take. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated this would be encroaching on the neighbor's front yard <br />setback. <br /> <br />Mr. Ronallo stated he did not think so because there was quite a few shrubs there. <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated he would like to hear what City Attorney Goodrich thought. <br />City Attorney Goodrich reviewed the four criteria. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman asked if page 287, were the findings of fact. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik stated these were the findings of fact from the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission. The Council's findings of fact would begin on page 291, and <br />the variables would start with item 12. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen asked if Mr. Ronallo could live with a forty-foot setback. <br /> <br />Mr. Ronallo stated the entry would not line up with the breezeway type look. He stated he could <br />straighten the garage out but he would need to take out the existing tree. <br /> <br />City Council/June 25, 2002 <br />Page 24 of 34 <br /> <br /> <br />
