Citizen Input Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the neighboring properties have stated that they would be willing to meet in regards to the drainage problems in the area, but also felt that they can manage their own storm water on their own respective parcels. Motion by Board Member Dempsey, seconded by Board Member Nixt, to close the public hearing. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Board Members Dempsey, Nixt, Jensen, Johnson, Kociscak, and Wivoda. Voting No: None. The public hearing closed at 7:12 p.m. Board Business Chairperson Anderson called the regular meeting of the Board of Adjustment back to order at 7:12 p.m. Board Member Jensen questioned if the mini-storage will be used by the main tenants of the retail building. Board Member Nixt questioned how much the structure would have to be reduced in order to maintain the 35 foot rear yard setback. Zoning Administrator Frolik explained that if the depth of the building was reduced in the northwest comer everything could shift to the south. Chairperson Anderson questioned the reason Staff was recommending denial of the variance request. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the hardship cannot be a result of the actions of the applicant and the applicant is attempting to put too much building on the lot to facilitate mini- storage units in addition to the retail center. If the number of mini-storage units were decreased, the setback could be met and the applicant is left with reasonable use of the property. Board Member Nixt stated that they are not exceeded the size limits of the structure, and that the only visibility of the encroachment would be to the railroad. Zoning Administrator Frolik noted that was correct. Board Member Johnson questioned if the 20 feet that they are allowing for a future frontage road is a City Code requirement.
