Commissioner Fuchs indicated he was for the variance due to the
limitations from peat on the south end of Mr. Ray's lot. the only
alternative location for Mr. Ray's carport was directly in front of his
house. Chairman Wilson felt the proposed location was not an eyesore
and that the accessory building set so well in the proposed
location.

VARIANCE REQUEST BY MR. RONALD RAY FOR A 7 FT. ENCORACHMENT ON THE 25 FT.
SIDEYARD SETBACK TO ACCOMMODATE A CARPORT AND FURTHER RECOMMENDED

Commissioner Fuchs concern was whether the building was going to be
used for agricultural purposes and not used for storage. Commissioner
Fuchs questioned Mr. Bartlow on the use of the building.
Mr. Bartlow indicated the building would be used for storage of hay and
cattle, as he was a farmer. He further indicated there was a swampy area
in the southwest corner of his property. What he refers to as
unbui1dab1e hill and leveled it off using the fill to fill in the swamp.
He positioned his agricultural building to avoid building where the swamp
was or his house.
Chairman Wilson was

concerned about the determination of this building
and what process staff goes through for granting
The Building and Zoning administrator explained that there is no building
code on agricultural buildings and how they are constructed, but a
building permit is required. Mr. Bartlow applied for a building permit,
but started work without it. He indicated that he didn't think the
permit was of importance, since it was a free permit. It was because of
this mix up that Mr. Bartlow started his building prior to the variance
being issued. When staff realized that Mr. Bartlow was encroaching on
the 300 ft. setback, his building was immediately red 'tagged.
The Building & Zoning Administrator stated that Mr. Bartlow may meet
the requirements for a variance due to the physical characteristics of
his property. Fifty feet more or less on a 300 ft. setback from an
agricultural building to another house would not be worth making Mr.
Bartlow move his structure.
Chairman Wilson opened the public hearing.

Chairman Wilson closed the public hearing.
Chairman Wilson was uncomfortable with the variance and was not sure it
met the five standards for a variance.'
Commissioner Kropuenske was against this matter from the start as
the building was started before building permit was pulled or granted.
He further indicated a precedent could be set if this variance was
allowed.
COMMISSIONER BARRETT RECOMMENDED THE CITY COUNCIL TO DENY THE VARIANCE

7. Variance Request by Terry McLean/Public Hearing
Chairman Wilson introduced this item. He stated that Mr. & Mrs. Joan
McLean of 18054 Union Sreet NW, are requesting a 10 ft. encroachment on
the 20 ft. side yard setback required in a R-1B/non-sewered single family
zone to build an addition to their existing house that would run full
length of their home and extend out from the house the same distance as
an existing deck.
Stephen Rohlf, the Building & Zoning Administrator noted that a variance
for the setback to the river is not needed. The proposed addition would
not extend any closer to the river than a line drawn between adjacent
structures.
COMMISSIONER TEMPLE MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF
THE VARIANCE REQUEST BY MR. & MRS. TERRY MCLEAN FOR A 10 FT. ENCROACHMENT
ON THE 20 FT. SIDE YARD SETBACK REQUIRED IN A R-1B/NON-SEWERED SINGLE

permit request by Mr. John Taggart of Bridgestone Enterprises and
explained that they are requesting a conditional use permit to allow the
sale and display of manufactured homes and manufactured structUres within
a C-3B/Highway Commercial Zone.
Chairman Wilson stated that the ordinance does not address this type of
business and we can not discriminate as long as they meet all the City
requirements.
Mr. Taggart indicated that they are proposing to use a manufactured home
as a model. The size proposed for this model is 26 ft. by 54 ft.
Besides the model there would be other manufactured homes on this site
that are waiting to be delivered.
Chairman Wilson opened the public hearing. There being no one for or
against the matter, Chairman Wilson closed the public hearing.
The following concerns were discussed by the Planning Commission:
Lighting for security reasons, storage of homes on a temporary basis,
model home being placed on a permanent foundation to assure the safety of
those within the structure.
The Building & Zoning Administrator stated that Mr. Taggart is proposing
to lease this property and, therefore, his operation may be somewhat
temporary.
Chairman Wilson indicated that he would like to see the model and site
look attractive and be landscaped, this would be more apea1ing for
customers and bypassers on Highway 10.
