Benke suggested moving the Public Hearing to March 23, due to the increased interest of the Church Upon the Rock Permit which will be held on March 9. Rutherford did not feel there would be a problem in delaying the hearing until March 23. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY STUDY AND CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON MARCH 23, 1993, FOR PROJECT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 93w1, STREET RECONSTRUCTION. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Mattila presented an application for setback variance to construct an addition onto an existing single family home. The site is located on a peninsula originally subdivided for summer cottages. Due to the width, 14th Ave. is narrow with limited right-of-way on either side. These factors combined with the required setbacks from the lake, contribute to a neighborhood where it is common for houses and garages to be located close to 14th Ave. In the past, several front yard setback variances have been granted for homes along 14th Ave. NW. Other homes, developed prior to the current zoning ordinance, were located close to 14th Ave. with variance being granted. The applicant is seeking a 16.5 ft. front yard setback variance. The unique circumstances are: the addition cannot be constructed any further south due to the 50 ft. shoreland setback, the trees on the east portion prevent location further to the east, and shallowness of the lot. Strict enforcement of the setback would cause an undue hardship.
