She explained that topography in the rear yard declines rapidly and <br />would requi~' a substantial amount of fill and removal of very mature trees to access. She noted <br />that there is substantial tree growth between the proposed building and Sunfish Lake Boulevard <br />N.W. to provide screening. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />James McChesney, the applicant, stated he put up a swimming pool in the proposed area in 1972 <br />with 8-foot walls, intending to eventually put up this building. He explained that he plans to store <br />his recreational vehicle in the building to keep it out of site. He feels the building will only add <br />value to the property, because it will be an attractive building. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik stated that Bill Wall, Mr. McChesney's neighbor, stopped by the City offices to state <br />his objections. She explained that he believes Mr. McChesney's front property line is farther back <br />than indicated and that the side property line is only 6 feet from the proposed building site. <br />Apparently there is some discrepancy regarding the location of the stakes, therefore Ms. Frolik <br />advised Mr. McChesney may also need a side yard setback variance. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Bawden and seconded by Board Member Deemer to adjourn the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Public Hearing/Board of Adjustment/September 7, 1993 <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
