I I I Council Meeting Minutes September 26, 1995 Page 5 Public Hearinll. continued Larson asked the proposed width of the new home. Flekke said the home's width would be 46 x 33 ft., and the garage would be placed in front with the house setback 6 ft. from the garage. Williams asked how much farther would Flekke be willing to build the house. Flekke feels that by having the house setback from the garage provides a step effect and blends in with the home to the south. She noted that the lot is very short and building the home further back would lessen the backyard and could create drainage problems. Mattila confirmed that the property to the north is setback 30 ft. Samuelson confirmed the garage would be setback 30 ft. and the home would be setback 36 ft. Williams verified that this proposal meets the City Code's minimal requirements. Mattila stated that the proposed 75 ft. lot width and the 12,000 sq. ft. lot area meets the minimal requirements. Flekke feels the proposal should be considered an investment in the City by providing additional property tax revenue, and would increase the neighborhood's value.

However, he encouraged Flekke and the neighbors to work out an accommodation which is acceptable to all.
