Member Sager disclosed that he had set at the same table
with Mr. Kezer at Rotary meeting on September 24th and that
the variance request was not discussed.
Mr. Kezer stated that they were trying to get maximum
utilization of the lot without destroying mature trees and
rock outcroppings. Mrs. Kezer presented roughly drawn
sketches of the proposed floor plan and front elevation of
the proposed house. She said the garage would be located on
the north side of the house, several feet lower than the
house.
Mr. Walt Johnson, adjacent property owner, spoke in opposi
tion to this variance stating he has a solar greenhouse
which is the primary focal point of his house and would be
in danger of losing winter sun if the proposed house &
garage are built too close to the property line. He said
Mr. Kezer's lot is three-quarters of an acre and felt the
proposed house could be placed in a location farther away
from the property line.
Member Sager commented that the absence of accurate plans
showing the exact elevation of the house and garage made it
confusing for the board to determine where the house would
be situated on the lot. The drawings submitted showed the
house and garage floors on the same elevation with no grades
shown.
Mr. Kezer stated that their other alternative would be to
place a garage under the house and elevate the entire
structure.
Member Dickinson questioned whether or not the Board could
grant a variance with a height limitation. Member Habecker
stated that he did not believe this was the only alterna
tive, or the minimum one necessary.
Member Sager moved to table the request, rather than put a
restriction on the variance, until petitioner could provide
the board with more detailed, accurate information identify
ing grades around the house, size, and effect of roof lines
on adjacent property owners. Member Lamson seconded the
motion and it passed unanimously.
Member Lamson commented that some applications submitted to the
Board are difficult to read and suggested that in the future the
Building Department request petitioner's submit more legible,
accurate information on the petitions.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
