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 />►0�AEAEADBI <br />^�,5 <br />
