APPROVAL OF JULY 13, 1983, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTION BY MR. SVANDA, SECONDED BY MR. GABEL, TO APPROVE THE JULY 13, 1983,
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AS WRITTEN.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, ACTING CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION
CW2RIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1 . PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMI SP 083-015,,'
83 05 BY
ROBERT KOHLS: Per Section 205.1576 2 to allow t a
24' x 24' garage in CRP-2 zoning (flood fringe) , located on Lots 20,
21 , and 22, Block X, Riverview Heights, the same being 640 Cheryl Street N.E.
MOTION BY MR. SVANDA, SECONDED BY MR. GABEL, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON
SP #83-05 BY ROBERT KOHLS.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, ACTING CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:45 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated the reason this request was before the Planning Commission
was because any buildings in the flood plain, whether structures for habitation
or not for habitation, require a special use permit. Accessory buildings are
allowed in the flood plain as long as they are not for human habitation and must
meet standards for building in the flood plain: The structure has low flood
damage potential , is firmly anchored to prevent flotation, and is floodproofed
according to UBC standards. This proposal for a double garage in the flood plain
does meet those standards , and Staff has no problem with the issuance of this
special use permit.
Mr. Boardman stated the lots involved are Lots 20, 21 , and 22. There are
presently two tax statements on the property, and Staff needs to have the
property combined as one tax statement. The "Combination Form" needs to be
signed and submitted to the County.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 27, 1983 PAGE 2
The petitioners were in the audience.
Ms. Gabel stated she drove by this property and noticed there were three cars,
an outdoor cooker, and several other things. She stated there seems to be
plenty of room on the lot for a garage, and that the petitioners probably have
a real need for a garage.
Mr. Svanda agreed. He stated he had also driven by the property and had made
the same observation.
MOTION BY MR. SVANDA, SECONDED BY MS. SCHREINER, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING
ON SP #83-05, BY ROBERT KOHLS.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, ACTING CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC

7A. RFXEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #83-05, FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A
GARAGE IN CRP-2 ZONING (FLOOD FRINGE) AT 640 CHERYL STREET N.E.M
ROBER KOHLS•
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this special use permit is
requested in order to construct a garage in the flood plain at 640 Cheryl
Street. He stated accessory buildings are allowed in the flood plain, as
long as they aren't for human habitation and are constructed to building
codes.
He stated it was suggested that Lots 20, 21, and 22 be combined into one
tax statement and the petitioner has taken this action.
cmiNciL MEFTim OF Am= 8. 1983 PAGE 5
Councilman Schneider stated, at the first reading of this ordinance, he did
support it procedurally, however, he has difficulty with Section 6.02 (b)
which, in effect, removes the concurrence of the Council, as a Charter
requirement, for the hiring or dismissal of City employees.
Councilman Schneider stated it has been his philosophy to bring
accountability to the Council for actions by the City. He stated one of
the first activities on which he spent a considerable amount of time was
the code of ethics ordinance. He stated the Charter, as it stands ,
significantly influences and restricts the ability of Council members to
interfere with daily work. He stated it is, therefore, vital for the
Council to have a free flow of information with the administration and this
involves who the City is hiring and who the City is dismissing. He stated
the proposed change would eliminate that information flaw to the Council.
Councilman Schneider stated he has no distrust of the present
administration and the way it has worked, there is no problem; however, he
felt the Council's function to oversee the hiring and dismissal of
employees should be retained.
Councilman Schneider stated he would like to be aware of what is happening
and for the Council to continue with their concurrence in the hiring of
employees, however, he stated the City Manager's hands are somewhat tied if
he isn't free to dismiss employees.
Councilman Schneider stated he had discussed his concerns with the City
Manager and a compromise has been suggested in that the Council would
concur with hirings and would only be notified of any dismissals .
Councilman Schneider suggested this ordinance be tabled so this compromise
could be presented to the Charter Commission.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to table the second reading of this
ordinance until October in order to submit the proposed compromise to the
next meeting of the Charter Commission for their consideration and
discussion. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Councilman Hamernik pointed out the Council reviews the budget and the
Council is made aware at that time of changes in personnel. He felt the
Council has the opportunity and authority to either approve or disapprove
any positions during the budget process. He stated if there isn't money
for salaries available, there wouldn't be any hiring.
Mayor Nee stated he was prepared to vote for the second reading as it now
stands, but didn't feel it would pass.
Councilman Schneider stated it is a philosophical question, but he can't
support the ordinance as it is now written.
Ms. Sue Jackson, a member of the Charter Commission, stated her first
reaction to the compromise is fairly positive. She stated the whole thrust
of the change regarding employees came after the change regarding the City
Manager. She stated the first consideration was to see that the City

7.B = FROM APPEAIS O"ISSION MEETING OF JULY 19, 1983: VARIANCE
REQUEST TO REDUCE THE SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 5 FEET TO 3 FEET
Arrnw A SINML CAR GARAGE TO BE EXPANDED TO A MD::C,R GARAGE AT 6737
W SHIh'= STREET N E . BY JOHN AM S)aA1 A MITTEL-=:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this is a request to reduce the
side yard setback from the required five feet to three feet to permit the
conversion of a single car garage to a double garage.
Mr. Flora stated, at the Appeals C rrd Bison meeting, there was considerable
discussion that the garage could be 20 feet instead of 22 feet and,
therefore, a variance would not be required. He stated the Appeals
Commission denied the variance as they felt the hardship had to be based on
more than just economic reasons. Mr. Flora stated the vote by the Appeals
Commission was 2 in favor and 2 against the motion and, therefore, this
item was referred to the Council.
Mr. Mittelstadt stated the variance for which he is applying is really only
for one foot so he could make the garage 21 feet. He stated he originally
applied for a two foot variance in order to make the garage 22 feet.
Mr. Mittelstadt felt the variance would make a substantial difference in
the quality of the garage and indicated he intended to build the garage
whether or not a variance was granted.
Mrs. Kuhnly, 6747 Washington Street, stated the lots in this particular
area are angled and are 75 feet across the front and about 55 feet across
the back.
She stated the homes are pretty crowded and the majority of the homes in
the immediate area have single attached garages.
Mrs. Kuhnly stated, when their home was built, it was too far north and
their driveway was on the property line so they had to buy several feet of
land from their neighbor in order to get out of their car. She stated the
only room they have is on the south side of their property where Mr .
Mittlestadt wishes to enlarge the garage, and she would prefer not having
any more building than what is already there.
Mr. Richard Nord, 6805 Washington Street, stated most of their area has
single attached garages and felt, if this variance is granted, other
requests will have to be granted which will make their area even more

crowded. He stated he built a two-car garage on the back of his lot so he
wouldn't have to obtain any variances.
Councilman Barnette stated Mr. Mittelstadt is going to add to his present
garage whether or not the variance is approved.
Councilman Hamernik stated he appreciated Mr. Mittelstadt trying to upgrade
his property by adding on to the garage, however, with the objection of
adjacent property owners, he finds it difficult to vote in favor of the
proposed variance.
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to concur with the split decision of the
Appeals Cormiision and deny the variance request to reduce the side yard
setback from the required five feet to four feet. Seconded by Councilman
Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously.
