APPEAL 5-88 DAVID HUNT fir. & Mrs. Hunt appeared before
the Board to request an offset variance of 5' to construct a
detached garage. The Hunt's were provided with a letter sent in
by Mr. & Mrs. Ogrodzinski, their neighbors. The Hunt's explained
that the garage placed within 10' of the property line would line
up with the driveway and they would not be blocking off the view
of their dining room windows. They will be using the 22' X 26'
garage for storage. They do not have an attached garage.
APPEAL 6-88 GREGG BOEHM Pamela Boehm Rieder and Gary
Boehm appeared before the Board to request an offset variance of
5' to allow a new home to be built on a lot_ in Meadow Green
Subdivision. The propective owner wants to construct a home that
would measure 80' in Length and would need a five foot variance
using a 46' setback.
APPEAL 7-88 RICHARD KNUDSEN Mr. Knudsen appeared before
the Board to request a 4 offset variance to construct a storage
structure with a playhouse on the top. He explained that he had
an irregular shaped lot that drops very abruptly downhill which
makes a large portion of the lot unuseable. Mr. Lemke, a
neighbor questioned whether a variance would need to be reapplied
for should 'fr. Knudsen decide to expand the structure. He was
assured that a variance would need to be reapplied for if the
shed was taken down and a new structure put up. Mr. Knudsen
indicated he would not be willing to turn the structure around
and thereby not require a variance due to the fact that the
railroad ties were already arranged.
APPEAL 3-88 `dICHAEL MEHRING Mr. & Mrs. 'tehring appeared
before the Boar( to request a oTTset variance to construct a
detached 30' X 24' garage. They stated a patio would have to he
removed and replaced and an apron needed to be attached if the
garage were placed behind the dwelling. They would use the
structure for cars and storage for themselves and their tenant.
They have a 90' driveway where the cars are now parked.

The Board took a five minute recess.
The Board of Appeals resumed at 9:00 P.M.
APPEAL 4-88-MUSKEGO MARINE It was clarified that Mr.
Langfeldt had withdrawn his request for a 7' variance.
APPEAL 5-88 DAVID HUNT Mrs. Nievinski moved to deny the
appeal as submitted. Mr. 6-Neil seconded and the motion
carried. It was suggested that the garage could be situated
further back on the property and thereby placed within the
offsets required of this zone district and that a hardship had
not been established.
APPEAL 6-88 GREGG BOEHM Mr. Erno moved to deny the
appeal as submitted. Mrs. Koester seconded and the motion
carried. It was suggested that the architectural control
committee allowed the developer to control the sizing of the
houses on individual lots before construction. No hardship had
been established due to the fact that the home is not constructed
as yet.
APPEAL 7-88 RICHARD KNUDSEN Mrs. Nievinski moved to
deny the appeal as submitted. Mrs. Koester seconded and the
motion carried. It was suggested that Mr. Knudsen could
construct the structure without having to request a variance if
placed differently on the lot.
APPEAL 8-88 MICHAEL MEHRING itr. Fohr moved to deny the
appeal as submitted. Mr. apora i seconded and the motion
carried. It was suggested that the large amount of unused back
vard would allow ample room to put up a garage further to the
rear.

Koester seconded and the motion carried.

DATE: April 12, 1988
TO: Building Inspection Department/Board of Appeals
FROM: Michael & Sharon Mehring
SUBJECT: Application for Variance
Dear Board Members:
We own a property at S71 W14850/52 Westcot Drive. We are planning
to build a 30'x 24' garage for our vehicles, house & lawn mainten-
ance equipment, and a vehicle stall for our tenants.
When evaluating our survey with required offsets, we discovered it
will be nearly impossible to maneuver our vehicles into the garage.
We are therefore requesting your assistance in granting us a small
variance on our lot line offset.
For reasonable acessibility to our garage with respect to our lot
configuration we are requesting a variance to build 10 feet from
the lot line. (Please see plot survey at this time). As illus-
trated on the survey, the area in question reduces to a point of
compliance with the required offset. The affected area would be
only 43 square feet.
Ile have listed below several factors in support of our appeal. 1'�'e
hope that you will consider these factors not just as single issues,
but as an entire group when making your decision.
-Removal of existing concrete patio.
-Replacement of patio.
-Minimum addition of 18' x30' apron.
-Addition of a retaining wall.
-Double the amount of fill needed for construction.
-Increases driveway length from 90' to 108'.
-General structure placement aesthetics
-Reduced openness of yard & greatly deminished
view out into the vard from inside the house.
We trust that you will understand how we are trying to best serve
the existing situation by utilizing our property most efficiently.
We look forward to discussing this matter with you at the board
meeting on April 28, 1988. Thank you for your time and cooperation
with this matter.
Sincerely,
?Michael & Sharon Mehring
