II. 913/917 WINNEBAGO AVENUE - Kurt S. Johnson, owner/applicant
Kurt S. Johnson, owner/applicant, is requesting a variance to
create two substandard lots. Lot 1, located at 917 Winnebago
Avenue is proposed to be 57 ft. x 87 ft. ford a total area of
4,959 sq. ft. with Lot 2, located at 913 Winnebago Avenue,
proposed to be 47 ft. x 87 ft. for 4, 089 sq. ft. of total area;
whereas Section 30-16 (B) (1) (g) Lot Area of the R-2 Two Family
Residence District of the City of Oshkosh Zoning Ordinance
requires that any newly created lot have a minimum width of 60
ft. , a minimum depth of 100 ft. , and a minimum lot area of 7, 200
sq. ft.
Mr. Johnson gave a brief history of the property in question and
reiterated his variance request noting that he wished to move the
lot line of the two properties, thereby subtracting 3 ft. from
917 Winnebago Avenue & adding the 3 ft. to 913 Winnebago Avenue.
Mr. Schorse stated he was under the impression there was a
driveway there at present and Mr. Johnson stated there is a
driveway which overlaps both properties and he wished to move the
lot line 3 ft. from 917 to 913 Winnebago Avenue to have the
driveway on one parcel of land. At the time the driveway was
developed, they were not aware that the driveway encroached the
lot line.
Mr. Dellantonia inquired if his understanding was correct that
the driveway is there presently which overlaps two properties and
it is intended to give the driveway to a single lot and Mr.
Johnson indicated that was correct.
Motion by Dellantonia to approve the variance as
requested. Seconded by Slover. Motion approved 4-0.
As to the Findings of Fact, Mr. Slover stated that the request to
move the lot line for a total of 3 ft. , would appear to be the
minimum variance required to satisfy the owner/applicant's
intent. There is no viable alternative for placement of that
driveway.
