Dear Mr. & Mrs. Dougherty:
The Board of Appeals wishes to advise you that your appeal
for a 785 square foot variance for a second garage structure has
been approved as submitted contingent upon the roof height not
being in excess of 15 feet and the structure within the offset
and setback areas.
Thank you.
Sincerely

BOARD OF APPEALS
MINUTES OF BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING HELD ON December 4, 1986.
Chairman Gerald Fohr called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M.
PRESENT: Chairman Gerald Fohr Vice Chairman Erno, Carol
Nievinski, Linda Koester, Peter Passick and Zoning Officer Gerald
Lee.
ABSENT Thomas Berken
MINUTES Mrs. Nievinski moved to adopt the minutes of the October
23, 1986 meeting. Mr. Passick seconded and the motion carried.
APPEAL 19-86 - Gary Hartson Mr. Hartson appeared before
the Board of Appeals to request a 00' setback variance to
construct a garage. The electric company had informed him the
cost of removing the utility pole to conform to the setback
requirement would cost approximately $1,200. He also stated that
the other garages along Kurtze Lane were not more than 35 to 40
feet from the center line of the road and his would look out of
proportion to these. Zoning Officer Lee explained that the lot
was nonconforming and the electric company easement was put in
before the lot was created. The Board inquired whether Mr.
Hartson would consider a lesser variance in setback and reduce
the size of the garage. Mr. Hartson stated that this would be
alright with him.
APPEAL 23-86 - INGERSOLL CABLE Mr. Norman Dubuc, General
Manager for Ingersoll Cable appeared before the Board of Appeals
to request a fence height in excess of 6' and a 50' front offset
variance to construct a chain link security fence. This was
deferred from the October 23, 1986 meeting. Mr. Dubuc now stated
that they would put the fence along the front of the building -
starting point behind the front stairway. The barbed wire would
not be along the fence line facing Highway 24 but the barbed wire
would start approximately 40' east from the front lot line and
continue to the rear and the south property lines and would not
be visible because of the trees and brush on the property line.
The 6' fence being built along the front property line would not
require the 50' front offset variance but would require the
height variance because of the additional footage of the three
strand barbed wire around part of the fence.
APPEAL 25-86 - KUGLITSCH ALPINE LANES Mark Kuglitsch
appeared before the Board of Appeals to request an 18' variance
to increase an existing sign above the total square footage
requirement. Mr.Kuglitsch explained he ran a commercial business
but was under the Industrial sign limitations. The existing sign

December 4, 1986
would not be changed but would be added on to with inter-
changeable letters advertising special events to attract the
industrial park clientele. Zoning Officer Lee explained that the
Alpine Lanes sign had been put up before the existing ordinance
was adopted.
APPEAL 26-86 - RICHARD OLSON Mr. and Mrs. Olson appeared
before the Board of Appeals to request a variance of 1,500 square
feet for the construction of a second garage structure on their
property. This storage structure would be a 50' X 30' extension
on to an existing pole building. Zoning Officer Lee explained
that the Olson's were denied a variance in 1973 for a 30' X 50'
pole building because this exceeded the requirement of accessory
buildings being allowed over 60% of the principle building. The
Board inquired whether the Olson's would be in favor of cutting
down the width of the structure by 6' to keep the roof lines
even. The Olson's stated that they would not be adverse to this
suggestion.
APPEAL 27-86 - DONALD DOUGHERTY Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty
appeared before the Board of Appeals to request a variance of 785
square feet for the construction of a second garage structure.
Mr. Dougherty explained he needed more storage space. Zoning
Officer Lee explained the garage would be 1,440 square feet with
655 square feet allowable under the requirement of 60% of
principle structure leaving 785 square feet for the variance
requested. Mr. Erno asked if the roof could be turned the
opposite way which would then make the garage more in conformance
with the house. Mr. Dougherty stated he could not do this.
The Board remained in open session.
APPEAL 19-86 Mr. Passick moved to deny the appeal as
submitted but to grant the appeal of a 101variance in setback.
The hardship is due to the electric company easement which was
put in before the lot was created. Mrs. Nievinski seconded and
the motion carried.
APPEAL 23-86 Mrs. Nievinski moved to approve the
amended appeal with the following conditions: That a letter be
sent to the adjoining property owners advising them of the barbed
wire and requesting their response within a two week period and
that no barbed wire be put along Highway 24. Mrs. Koester
seconded and the motion carried.
APPEAL 25-86 Mr. Fohr moved to approve the appeal as
submitted. Mr. Erno seconded and the motion carried. The
hardship is the distance of the sign from Racine Avenue.
APPEAL 26-86 Mr. Erno moved to deny the appeal as
BOARD OF APPEALS - Page 3
December 4, 1986
submitted but to approve a 1,200 foot variance to the existing
addition with the same width. The hardship is the location of
building and this variance would have no adverse affect to the
basic intent of the ordinance. Mrs. Nievinski seconded and the
motion carried.
APPEAL 27-86 Mr. Erno moved to approve the appeal as
submitted conditioned that the height of the garage does not
exceed 15' and the offset requirements are met. Mr. Passick
seconded and the motion carried. The hardship is the size of the
house in relation to the the garage and amount of storage needed.
ADJOURNMENT; Mrs. Nievinski moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:10
P.M. Mrs. Koester seconded and the motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Lynne Sweet
