09-04…A request by Donald Selmi, Sec. 22, 3718 Conrad, for a size, height and front yard variance to construct a detached accessory structure.
Mr. Selmi supplied the board with a letter from Michael Penner, 3747 Conrad, stated the following: "We are unable to attend the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on March 17th, 2009 but with regards to the above mentioned variance request, please accept this letter indicating that we have no objections to this variance." Keith Penner, 3732 Conrad, " We are trying to do more to this area and maintain boat storage inside also the height variance to block what is behind us.
Moved by Brady, supported by Figurski, to approve case# 09-04, 3718 Conrad, to allow up to a 1200 sq.ft. detached accessory structure with a 300 sq.ft. variance. Conditioned upon petitioner combining parcels #2 and #3 that will never be split again. Petitioner is to abide by the setbacks and height restrictions.
The finding of fact is the combining of the lots would create a near-conforming lot for a 1200 sq.ft. structure. Motion carried unanimously.

Moved by Figurski, supported by Wildman, to deny petitioners request due to the lack of substantial justice. Motion carried unanimously.
