Planning Manager Larson provided additional details on how that standard would typically be <br /> measured and how it was measured in this instance. <br /> Commissioner Van Scoy commented that he would believe that the garage is part of the principle <br /> building in this instance. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Nick Larson, applicant, stated that there is a large tree on the side of the home which has a large <br /> root system they did not want to disrupt. He stated that the location of the shed also did not <br /> interfere with the location of the sprinklers. He stated that they also considered locating near the <br /> deck,but the runoff would have gone onto the neighbor's property. He confirmed that they would <br /> need to uproot the entire sprinkler system to have the shed in the side yard location. He believed <br /> that the location for the shed fits well with the existing vegetation and additional vegetation that <br /> they planted for screening. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Van Scoy, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Gengler, Commissioners Bauer, Van Scoy, Heineman, <br /> Hunt, and Peters. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Anderson. <br /> Chairperson Gengler closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Commissioner Van Scoy stated that when reviewing a variance, they should consider whether <br /> there is another place that would fit the requirements. He stated that there is another location that <br /> would meet the standards, but the issue was the cost to relocate the sprinklers and cost cannot be <br /> considered. He stated that he would think that because of the screening, he does believe that this <br /> location is probably the better choice but would still have a hard time supporting the request. <br /> Commissioner Heineman commented that this is a suitable location, and the variance process <br /> exists for this reason. He found this to be a reasonable ask and will therefore support the request. <br /> Planning Manager Larson stated that while financial considerations cannot be the sole factor,they <br /> can weigh in on the overall determination. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Heineman, to adopt Resolution#23- <br /> 294 Approving a Variance to Accessory Structure Setbacks at 6070 143rd Lane NW. <br /> Motion Carried.
