Mr. Nitkowski moved that the variance be approved as requested. Mr. Kimberly
seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
With regard to findings of fact, Mr. Kimberly stated tha� the buiiding setbacks
were not going to be changed and the lot size was considerably small .
V. 145 W. 21st Avenue - Mark Felker, agent for Marland Felker
Mr. Roskom explained that the owner wishes to construct a detached garage
and to provide a 2'6" rear yard setback. Because this is a corner lot, the
variance initially requested for the front yard setback will not be necessary.
A 4'6" side yard setback is also proposed.
Mr. Felker explained that he would have to remove two good sized trees in order
to meet these setback requirements. The garage would also have to be put right
up to the house, which would then create problems because of the number of feet
needed between a detached garage and a home. The garage would also take up most
of the useable backyard space if these va�iances were not granted.
Mrs. Hintz asked if the neighbors approve of this proposed garage.
Mr. Felker answered, "yes". He stated that there was an existing garage that
he tore down because it �as rotten.
Mrs.Hintz stated that the purpose of the ordinance is not to deprive someone
of a garage. Also, there is no problem with the neighbors.
Mr. Nitkowski moved to approve the construction of an accessory building with
a 2'6" rear yard setback and a 4'6" side yard setback. Mr. Neu seconded the
motion. Motion carried 5-0.
With regard to findings of fact, Mr. Nitkowski stated that the building pre-dates
the ordinance. The lot is also unique in that it is a corner lot and because
of dimensions, would prohibit the owner from maximum use by not allowing a
garage.
VI. 500 S. Koeller Street - French Graphics, Agent for Holiday Inn Corp.
Steven French, French Graphics, P.O. Box 2695, Appleton, WI 54913, was present
to represent the owner.
Mr. Roskom explained that the owners wish to replace an existing ground
identification sign, maintaining the same 0' front yard setback. He distributed
pictures of the existing and proposed signs. He explained that the Board has :
considered variances in the past for this property with regard to parking and
setbacks because of the improvements the owners are making.
Mrs. Hintz asked if the new sign would take up the same space as the existing one.
