Chair Knutson called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
Action Item
a. Approval of minutes from June 6, 2009.
Mr. Sumrall moved, and Mr. Holahan seconded the motion to approve the amended minutes from
June 6, 2009. Motion carried: 5 -0.
a. Variance request to allow the construction of a garage as the principal use structure
on the subject property.
The subject property is more legally described as follows:
Victoria Village Block M, Lot 1
Ms. Frye moved, and Mr. Laraby seconded the motion to open the Public Hearing on Variance
request to allow the construction of a garage as the principal use structure on the subject
property. Motion carried: 5 -0.
Proof of publication and notification of adjacent property owners was entered into the record.
The applicant is the owner of subject property which is located at 821 Quail Drive in the R2 zoning
district (Victoria Village, Block M, Lot 1). This variance request is to allow the construction of a
garage as the principal use structure on the subject property.
It is the interpretation of Town staff that a garage structure in the R2 zone would be considered an
accessory building or use, which must be incidental to the primary use of the property. See
enclosed Section 16 -1 -40 and 16 -6 -10 of the Fraser Municipal Code. Since there will be no dwelling
unit built on the property (at least at this point in time) there is no primary use, so the garage is
technically not allowed unless the Board of Adjustment grants a variance to allow the garage to be
constructed (if the Board of Adjustment is so inclined).
The variance application is enclosed in the packet for your review.
The Fraser Town Code specifies that the Board of Adjustment shall furnish a copy of the
application to the Board of Trustees for an opinion, which opinion shall be returned to the Board
of Adjustment. The following action took place at the Town Board meeting on June 27 2012:
seconded the motion that pursuant to the variance provisions of the
zoning ordinance, that we forward the following opinion regarding the variance request
for 821 Quail Drive: that the variance request be approved by the Zoning Board of
Adjustment. Motion carried: 7 -0.
Ken and Trudy Rozas (applicant) addressed the Board.
Ms. Frye moved, and Mr. Holahan seconded the motion to close the Public Hearing on
Variance request to allow the construction of a garage as the principal use structure on the
subject property. Motion carried: 5 -0.
Ms. Frye moved, and Mr. Sumrall seconded the motion to deny the Variance request to allow
the construction of a garage as the principal use structure on the subject property after
consideration of the following provisions. Motion carried: 5 -0.
Ms. Frye moved and Mr. Laraby seconded the motion to adjourn. Motion carried: 5 -0,
Meeting adjourned at 6:34 p.m:
