I: 2275 WELDON COURT - Rev. Carl and LaVonne Knitt, owners; Attorney Paul G.
Swanson, applicant
The applicant, Attorney Paul G. Swanson; on behalf of Rev. Carl and LaVonne Knitt, owners, is
requesting a variance to construct a deck attached to the dwelling with a 16 ft. rear yard setback;
whereas Section 30 -15(B) R -1 Single Family Residence District of the City of Oshkosh Zoning
Ordinance requires a 25 ft. minimum rear yard setback for decks attached to a dwelling.
THIS ITEM WAS WITHDRAWN FROM THE AGENDA PER THE
OWNERS' REQUEST.
III: 2413 SOUTH MAIN STREET - Ardythe A. Timm - Davis, owner; Steven J. Davis,
applicant
The applicant is requesting a variance to construct a sign which projects 24 inches above the peak of an
existing roof line of a structure; whereas Section 3- 33(E)(2)(d) of the City of Oshkosh Zoning
Ordinance permits a maimum projection of 12 inches for a sign above an existing structure's roof.
Steven J. Davis gave a brief history of the property in question and reiterated the variance request.
Because of the age of the signs, weather deterioration, and wind damage, the signs are showing
evidence of rotting and they would like to be able to keep up the appearance of the property. The
signs have been on the structure for nearly the length of time the business has been in operation, which
is approximately 45 years. The signs are important to the business as they are the actual menu that the
customers read.
Mr. Krueger inquired if the signage would meet the Zoning Code.
Ms. Moore stated that she assumed Mr. Krueger was referring to the sign area and stated that it was
her understanding that the 30% rule would be met by the proposed signs.
