A call to the public was made with the following response: Don

04-01…A request by Crest Housing, Section 12, 1756 Skyview, for
yard variances to construct a new home and a detached accessory
structure.
A call to the public was made with no response.
Moved by Ledford, supported by Figurski, to approve petitioner’s
request for the variance for plan A on lots 21 and 22, each with a 5
foot side yard setback on one side and a 5 foot setback for a
detached garage. The hardship is the width and depth of the lots as
platted. Motion carried unanimously.
04-02…A request by Debbie and Brian Leek, Section 28, 3997
Homestead, for a front yard, side yard and a waterfront variance to
construct a new home.
A call to the public was made with the following responses:
Sandra Martini- 4007 Homestead, I live directly across the street on
the corner. My only concern is the garage coming off of the service
drive. With company there are more cars there to park and we have
grandchildren and there are children that live there too. John
Martini- Mr. Curt Brown’s (4001 Homestead Drive) driveway is off of
the service drive, but there is enough room to park in the driveway.
Joe Perry- My parents live next door, (3985 Homestead) we are
very excited about there being improvement to the house, being that
you pay a lot for a lake view. The house being closer would obstruct
the view from their great room and master bedroom.
Moved by Ledford, supported by Figurski, for a west front yard
setback of 21.5 feet, a south front yard setback of 11 feet, a side
yard setback 5 feet and a 49.6 foot waterfront setback. The variance
is conditioned upon garage access on Homestead Drive. The hardship
is the narrowness of the lot. Motion carried unanimously.

Highcrest, for a side yard and front yard variance to construct an
addition.
A call to the public was made with no response.
