Mr. Forster replied that would leave around 15 feet. He stated that the trailer cannot be placed <br />under the hangover from the garage because it is too high. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that he is concerned with the easement location and there is a <br />reason that five feet is required from the property line. <br />Mr. Forster stated that all his utilities are located on the other side of the home and therefore he <br />would find it unlikely that there are any utilities within that easement. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that it is a platted drainage and utility easement, explaining <br />that those are generally low spots that allow drainage from the roofs of the homes/garages and <br />driveways to flow to the street or other drainage area. <br />Mr. Forster commented that the concrete does slope with the elevation of the ground to allow for <br />drainage. <br />Commissioner Anderson commented that he has been to the property and the metal roof is nice <br />because it does shed snow. He stated that his concern would be that this would encumber on the <br />neighbor's property and potentially cause damage to that siding. <br />Mr. Forster commented that there are two rows of snow breaks on the roof. <br />Commissioner Anderson commented that would not slow the rainwater. <br />Mr. Forster commented that he does have gutters as well. He stated that he has worked with his <br />neighbor on the design and the neighbor helped him construct the structure. He stated that they <br />worked together to address those concerns with the snow breaks and gutters. He noted that he <br />actually has additional snow breaks that could be installed if necessary. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that his other concern was with fire protection, as that is a State <br />regulation. <br />Mr. Forster stated that the only reason he is there tonight is because when he spoke with the <br />Building Official, he was told that the structure could pass Code with improvements. He stated <br />that he is committed to making the structure pass Code. <br />Commissioner Heineman asked if the applicant would find the structure acceptable if the variance <br />were granted but required the sides and the back to be removed and the posts to be wrapped. <br />Mr. Forster replied that if that is what he has to do to keep this and have his items covered, he <br />would be willing to do that. <br />Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Van Scoy, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />A roll call vote was performed: <br />Planning Commission/ July 25, 2024 <br />Page 9 of 20 <br />
