THE MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> <br />Request for Variance by Gre.q Peterson, Public Hearinq Case No. V 97-6 <br /> <br />Steve Ach indicated that Greg Peterson requested a variance to the maximum <br />area for accessory buildings at 14270 191st Avenue. Mr. Peterson is proposing to <br />construct a 30 foot by 40 foot detached garage. The existing garage and <br />proposed detached garage will exceed the 1200 square foot maximum allowed <br />for accessory building area by 768 square feet. <br /> <br />Tom Mesich, Planning Commission Representative indicated that the Board of <br />Adjustments denied the application based on the findings that he was not <br />suffering an undue hardship and because the request does not meet the legal <br />reasons for a variance. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Dietz opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Greg Peterson indicated that the proposed structure will look similar to his existing <br />home. He explained that he needs the space for hobbies and storage to clean <br />up his yard. He stated he would like to use the extra space to store some of his <br />woodworking equipment so he can do some cabinet making at home. He <br />further indicated he has a four wheeler he would like to store inside. <br /> <br />There being no further comments, Vice Mayor Dietz closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Counciimember Farber indicated he is familiar with the area and does not feel <br />the structure would be a problem to the neighbors. Mr. Peterson indicated that <br />he has received permission from all of his neighbors. <br /> <br />Councilmember Thompson indicated that because he has signatures from his <br />neighbors, and because he is quite secluded, he sees no reason to deny the <br />variance. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE TO THE <br />MAXIMUM AREA FOR ACCESSORY BUILDINGS AS REQUESTED BY GREG PETERSON <br />BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: <br /> <br /> <br />
