City Council Minutes Page 4 <br />December 15, 2014 <br />----------------------------- <br />Kendra Lindahl, 19358 Norfolk Street NW – spoke in opposition of the variance <br />because she does not feel that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Reg Powell, representing property owner – explained he understands the <br />neighboring property owners prefer a vacant lot but stated the owners have a right to <br />enhance their property. <br /> <br />Ted Lindahl, 19358 Norfolk Street NW – stated he is opposed to the variance and <br />expressed concern over setting precedent for future lot splits. <br /> <br />Ryan Schneider, 12104 Highland Road – indicated he recently purchased his home <br />because of the large lots and mature trees and is opposed to this request. <br /> <br />Bob Olson, 19337 Norfolk Street – stated he believes property values would drop if <br />the request is approved. <br /> <br />There being no one else to speak to this issue, Mayor Dietz closed the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Motin indicated he understands how the neighborhood feels but the <br />property owner has a good argument for why the request should be approved. <br /> <br />Councilmember Westgaard stated he believes the Board of Appeal made the correct <br />decision when they denied the request as he doesn’t believe the applicant meets <br />criteria 4 or 5.
