DRAFT <br /> <br />Board of Adjustments Minutes <br />April 23, 2024 <br />--------- <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />had a family and liked to work on vintage motorcycles. He stated he wanted to stay in the home and <br />liked the neighborhood, noting the addition would be constructed to be visually appealing in the <br />neighborhood. He stated his current garage depth didn't support parking a pickup truck unless parked <br />at an angle. He appreciated the board's review of his request. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mauren asked the applicant and Mr. Foxcrost confirmed the motorcycle repair was just <br />a hobby, not a business. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rydberg asked Mr. Foxcroft if he could reduce the garage to a 25' x 20' addition, noting <br />concerns with setting a precedence in the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Mr. Foxcroft stated the depth of the garage was the issue and would like to park other vehicle's in the <br />garage, thinking about the future family drivers, and wanted to maximize the space. <br /> <br />There being no one else to speak, Chair Beise closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Booth stated he would not support the request. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mauren agreed and stated his same concerns as Commissioner Rydberg in setting a <br />precedence in the neighborhood. He also felt concerned about current supportive neighbors moving <br />out of the neighborhood and a new neighbor considering purchasing a house with a garage of this size. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rydberg stated he was also considering the size of the encroachment into the setbacks. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson felt the allowed addition would have three garage doors across the front of the <br />house and alter the character of the locale more than the proposed garage design. He appreciated the <br />design of this proposed garage as he felt along with the neighbors being in support of the design. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mauren asked about a future use of the garage. <br /> <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated the commission considers approval of a setback number and not a future use of <br />the space. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Mauren to approve the <br />front and side yard setback variance request by Ivan Foxcroft as outlined in the staff <br />report. The motion failed 2-3 with Chair Beise and Commissioners Rydberg and Booth <br />opposing. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Rydberg and seconded by Commissioner Booth to deny the front <br />and side yard setback variance by Ivan Foxcroft. The motion carried 3-2 with <br />Commissioner Johnson and Commissioner Mauren opposing. <br /> <br />6. MOTION TO ADJOURN REGULAR MEETING <br /> Moved by Commissioner Rydberg and seconded by Commissioner Booth to adjourn the <br />Board of Adjustments meeting. Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 06:51 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Jennifer Green. <br />Page 3 of 29
