There being no one to speak to this issue, <br /> Mayor Dietz closed the public hearing. <br /> Councilmember Wagner stated her and Planning Commission Chair Johnson met <br /> with staff to discuss the variance process. She noted the criteria conditions could be <br /> argued various ways on many of the variance requests and questioned why the appeal <br /> process is in place if staff recommends denial each time. <br /> She stated this parcel is 30 acres and the homeowner is only requesting to square off <br /> his existing barn. She doesn't believe any views will be obstructed and no other <br /> properties will be impacted. She indicated she is supportive of allowing the variance <br /> and believes this type of request is the reason the variance appeal process exists. <br /> Councilmember Olson indicated he is willing to grant the variance due to its location <br /> and property size. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard agreed with Councilmember Wagner. He explained an <br /> amount had to be set for ordinance but he has no issue with this request because it is <br /> not a huge departure from intent of the ordinance and it does not encroach on other <br /> properties. <br /> UREJ <br />
