Mayor Liebl explained the basic improvement is often very expensive and the
stipulations would be an added expense to the applicants. He said the time
period would enable the people to complete the work at a later date and
without added immedfate expense. Mayor Liebl also explained the immediate
expense of construction to be a substantial investment, and noted the people
would have to be in business for a while to make money to complete the
stipulated improvements.

unanimously and the request for remodeling approved with the six stipulations
recommended by the Building Standards -Design Control Subcommittee.
Mayor Liebl advised the Council that the Building Standards -Design Control
Subcommittee had recommended approval of the request with two stipulations.
Mayor Liebl asked if there was anyone present to explain the request and
there was no response.
The Assistant Engineer placed the site plan on the easel and pointed out the
location of the garage in relation to the building.
Councilman Nee questioned if the construction should be the total seven unit
garage. The city Manager said he would like to see this also. He said this
request could be approved subject to further review by the Engineering Department.

Councilman Breider said he had one question concerning the approval of the
variance. His questions concerned the recommended stipulation that a garage door
opener be installed. He questioned what would be the point in requiring this
installation at the present time, what assurances would the Council have that
it would be used or what would happen if it was broken.
Councilman Nee said he did not consider this stipulation a part of his motion and
he did not feel strongly that this should be installed. He said he would like to
make it possible for the applicant to build the garage. He pointed out this is
a very narrow lot and is difficult to work with. He added, if the applicant wants
to put in the door opener, fine, but he did not consider this a part of the motion.
UPON.A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried
unanimously.

Mr. Powers said the windows in the second story should not cause any problems
because they would look out onto the roofs of the adjacent houses. He said the
addition will only be about 4 feet higher than it is now.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. Plemel stated he would be inclined to go along with the variances as the
home is already there and with the different style it will be an improvement
to the area. He said it is a small lot and to build up seems the way to go.
Mrs. Gabel agreed with Mr. Plemel.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to Council, approval of the
variances. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Frakie stated he wants to build a garage off the.alley and have it line up
with Mr. Powers garage which is 16 feet off the alley. He added the alley only
goes to Mr. Powers.property and then deadends.
Chairman Drigans stated 16 feet is not wide enough to park a car without being
in the alley. Mr. Frakie said he could leave a space to park along side of the
garage if need be but he said he now parks in the front yard and he would like
a garage to park the car in.
Chairman Drigans asked if he would agree to install an automatic door opener on
the garage as that would encourage parking in the garage. Mr. Frakie said that
that sounded reasonable.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mrs. Gabel stated she could see no problem, if the -car would be parked in the
garage, as it will conform to the adjoining property and there were no objections
from the neighbors.

the variance, with the stipulation that an automatic garage door opener be
installed when the garage door is installed. Upon a voice vote, there being
