APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER, 10, 1978 - PAGE 17
Mr. Mattson stated that there's a hill going up from the back of these lots,
and the County has 5 storm drains going through those hills. Mr. Mattson
stated that there are two houses there with a variance for 25 foot setback
and Mr. Mattson felt it would look better for the City if all the houses had
the 25 foot setback instead of his four having a 35 foot setback. Also there
was a problem of the drains. Mr. Mattson stated that he had talked to Darrell
Clark and Mr. Clark suggested that he ask for a variance. Mr. Mattson
stated that the lot on 5207 Pierce presented a hardship because the back of
-that lot drops straight down.
Ms. Gabel asked about easements.
Mr. Holden stated that there are 5 easements for the storm sewers.
Mr. Mattson stated that the variances on these lots were previously granted,
but had expired.
Mr. Plemel asked if the other houses on that street had a setback of 25 feet.
Mr. Holden stated that the houses across the street had a setback of 35 feet,
but as long as the houses were uniform on each side of the street, it wouldn't
look bad.
Mr. Holden stated that variances for these lots were granted in 1969, but only
one of the houses were built.
