Ormand Rose and Helen Rose appeared speaking in opposition to the
variance. Member Houston moved to deny the application for variance
of Robert S. Johnson and Simone A. Johnson on the basis that the
applicants have failed to establish any extraordinary circumstances
or special conditions concerning the property which would justify
the granting of a variance, and that the owners will be able to make
an addition to their residence without violating the setback require
ments. Member Thomas seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion
passed by the following
Thomas, Wagner, Rvimley,
votes: Those voting "Yes" Members Houston,
and Lamson. Those voting "No" none. Member
Sager abstained from voting with permission from the Board due to a
conflict of interest.
HORST - SETBACK VARIANCE - LOT 9, BLOCK 7, RECLAMATION SUBDIVISION:
Mr. Leland Horst appeared requesting an approximately 4^' setback (as
measured from the eaves of the addition) from the side yard line rather
than the required 10' setback for an addition to his residence at 340
5th Street. Mr. Horst added a larger addition to his house than was
originally shown on his submitted plans and the encroachment of the
addition into the setback was not realized until the most recent in
spection. Member Sager moved that the Board of Adjustment finds that
extraordinary and exceptional circumstances exist in this case and
that the variance be granted provided the existing fence be moved within
the owner's property line within one year of this date. Member Wagner
seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed by the following
votes: Those voting "Yes" Members Thomas, Houston, Sager, Wagner,
Rumley. Those voting "No" none.
RENNER - EXPANSION OF NON-CONFORMING USE - RANCHOUSE RESTAURANT:
Ed Renner, owner of the Ranchouse Restaurant, appeared requesting a
variance to allow a 3' by 12.8' addition to enlarge the rest room
area of his restaurant and to add an 8' x 16' open deck to be used as
waiting room for customers. He explained that the additional rest
room area was needed in order to conform to county health requirements.
Member Sager moved that the Board of Adjustment finds that the expan
sion of the applicant's building by adding rest room space to conform
to health and other regulations does not constitute an expansion of the
non-conforming restaurant use. Member Thomas seconded the motion and

upon roll call the motion unanimously carried. Member Robert E.
Wagner then moved that the Board of Adjustment finds that the expan
sion of the applicant's building by adding an 8' x 16' open deck
does not constitute an expansion of the non-conforming use so long
as no additional seating space is created thereby. Member Houston
seconded the motion and upon roll call the motion unanimously carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
