00-39… A request by Dean Carpenter, Section 21, 3320 Hillandale, is for a 20-foot side and a 40-foot rear yard variance to construct an accessory building.

A call to the public was made with no response. Moved by Ledford, supported by Skolarus, to approve a 10' side yard variance and a 30' rear yard variance for construction of a pole barn measuring 30' x 40'. The hardship is the location of the existing septic field. The motion carried unanimously.

00-44… A request by Greg Krench, Section 11, 1732 Hughes, is for a variance to perform work in the required 10 foot setback.

A call to the public was made with Jean Hoskins responding. Hoskins - We appreciate it that Mr. Krench wants to upgrade his property. It will add to the value of the neighborhood.

Moved by Skolarus, supported by Ledford, to approve a 9.1' side yard variance that would be the continuation of an existing nonconforming use, to allow for a second story addition to an existing home. This action is contingent upon the following: 1. Removal of the tan shed. 2. Replacement of the existing fence. 3. The new structure along the north side of the property line will be constructed with a firewall. The motion carried unanimously.

00-49… A request by Alan Webb, Section 3, 401 Cherokee Bend, is for a variance to construct a 1200 sq. ft. accessory building instead of the 900 sq. ft. that is allowed.

A Call to the Public was made with no response. Moved by Ledford, supported by Skolarus, to approve a 19' rear yard variance for construction of a pole barn measuring 30' x 30' in area. The hardship is the size of the existing lot. The motion carried unanimously.

00-50… A request by James Scally, Section 32, 3423 E. Schaffer, is for a 20-foot side yard variance to construct an accessory structure.

A Call to the Public was made with no response. A letter was received from Mr. Ogorek objecting to the variance. Moved by Skolarus, supported by Ledford, to table the petition until the matter can be reviewed for feasibility of construction without a variance. The motion carried unanimously.

Moved by Ledford, supported by Skolarus, to approve the Minutes of the 10-10-00 regular meeting of the board as presented. The motion carried unanimously.

The regular meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals was adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
