OLD BUSINESS
1. APPEAL #04-2004
Petitioner: Richard Knudsen
Residence: Janesville Road / Tax Key No. 2198.984.005
REQUESTING: Under the direction of Chapter 17 Zoning Ordinance: Section 3.08(1)
Appeal Provisions, Petitioner seeks the following variances:
Chapter 17—Zoning Ordinance: Section 6.01(2) Engineering Regulations
(C) Building Restricted Adjacent to Drainage Channels or Watercourses: No building other
than a bridge dam, boathouse, or revetment subject to the aforesaid approval, shall be
erected, structurally altered or relocated within 10 feet of the ordinary high water line of
surface water, drainage channel or 20 feet of the ordinary high water line of a natural
watercourse nor so that the lowest floor of said building is less than 3 feet above
possible flood stage as determined by the City Engineer.
1. An offset of 20-feet is required from the OHWM (ordinary high water mark) of any natural
watercourse. In the case of the parcel in concern, there is a natural watercourse on the
northwestern portion of the parcel, which requires a 20-foot offset. The petitioner seeks an
offset of 15.5-feet from the OHWM of said natural watercourse to permit the construction of
a new commercial building, and is therefore requesting a 4.5-foot variance from the
OHWM.

An offset of 15-feet is required from the south property line for an accessory structure. The
