UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAfRPERSON DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 9:05 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated this is a multi-property request for properties on Abte Street.
Located on each of the properties is a duplex which measures 22 feet x 66 feet which were
constructed in 1963. The petitioner has submitted three �roperty surveys. These are
double fronted lots with Able Street to the west and Baker Street to the east. Baker Street
at the north end has a slight curve to the west which shortens the depth of the lots to the
north end. Staff has broken the variance request into two parts. The first is for the
prope�ty at 7595 Able Street for which the petitioner has requested a variance to 7 feet
from 35 feet. Staff recommends this be increased to 12 feet. This will result in 5 feet
between the dwelling and the garage and provide adequate space for parking.
Ms. McPherson stated the second part of the request is for the remaining properties. The
variance request by the petitioner is to 15 feet from 35 feet and the garage doors would
face Baker Street. In 1975, the City did grant a similar variance to the properties along the
south portion of the street. For that request, the petitioner had requested a variance to 18
feet but the City granted the variance to 20.5 feet. The comment from that petitioner was
that 20 feet was a better setback. For the remaining properties, staff recommends a
variance to 20 feet for more consistent site lines and for adequate off street parking.
Ms. Beaulieu stated staff is recommending that the one property go from 7 feet to 12 feet
and the other properties go from 15 feet to 20 feet. Is there room to do that�
Ms. McPherson stated yes, especially as you go further south. The lots there increase in
width substantially. There is room to move the garages an additional 5 feet.
Mr. Kuechle asked for the distance between the property line and the curb
Ms. McPherson stated that distance is 9 feet.
Ms. Beaulieu asked if an�r of these garages were existing.

�
Ms. McPherson stated no. There is a garage on one site but she did not know if that
property belonged to the petitioner. That garage appea�s to be at the 20: foot setback.
Mr. Chies stated he is looking to extend a line and maintain the same motif. He is trying
to upgrade the area. He has no objection to the change. His o�ly co�cern is that the lot
to the north has room for the tenants to park.
Dr. Vos stated this would also provide for additional. off-street parking.
. Mr. Chies stated each lot has two parking spots there now. He will do whatever the City
thinks will look best.
�
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRtED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:12 P.M.
Ms. B�aulieu stated she would recommend approval as recommend by staff to 12 feet and
20 feet. She drove down the street and it is noticeable that some have garages and others
do not. She thought it would be a help. .
Dr: Vos stated the hardship is the double fronted lots. It is difficult to put anything at 35
feet. This is also an improvement. He would vote for approval with 12 feet and 20 feet.
MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Dr. Vos, to recommend approval of Variance
Request, #96-16, by Tim Chies to reduce the rear yard setback for an accessory structure
on a double-fronted lot from 35 feet to 12 feet on Lot 1, Block 2, Nagels Woodlands,
