Thomas Anderson explained that Alpana Aluminum has requested rezoning of the remainder
of their property at 3800 Co. Rd. 116, and that they plan to construct a 3 0,000 sq. ft.
addition to their building. He stated that the Planning Commission had recommended re-
zoning of 120 additional feet of property to accomodate the building addition and had
recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the building addidtion.
Robert Mitchell stated that the order of action would need to be, rezoning, lot line
rearrangement and Conditionl Use Permit.
Bruce Hendry, Rolling Green Country Club property owner, stated that he was opposed to
the area being rezoned industrial because industrial would not be compatible with the
residential housing he was interested in constructing around the perimeter of the golf
course. He stated that residential would add more tax base than office/warehouse.
Thomas Anderson stated that they would improve the screening from sight of the golf
course
Don Klitzka of Alpana, stated that when the original building was constructed he had
suggested screening on the hill but the Planing Commission had not given its approval.
Ron Rogers stated that some planning is needed for the area from Co. Rd. 116 to Hwy.
lol and that a committee should be organized to review the area zoning and the Comp-
rehensive Plan.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Theis to authorize preparation of a resolution for the
rezoning of 120 ft. of teh Alpana property to Industrial; to allow for a lot line re-
arrangement and amendment of the Conditional Use Permit to include the 120 ft., all
according to the Planning Commission recommendations.

JoEllen Hurr explained that Fidel and Mary Theis had made application for a lot line
rearrangment to allow their property line to be moved 40 ft. to the west. She stated
that the parcel is one acre in size, with the reason for the additional feet being the
inclusion of a line to trees to the west, with his property.
Moved by Theis, seconded by Scherer to authorize preparation of a resolution approving
of the line line rearrangement for Fidel and Mary Theis at 492 Hamel Rd.
Mction declared carried
Douglas and Mary Knudson, Building Height Variance
JoEllen Hurr explained that the plans for the Knudson house at 1450 Willow Dr. had
included a roof pitch of 12/12, which exceeded the cities ordinance for.height_re-
quirements,so-the-plan was revised and ,a pitch of.10/12 was approved which would:have
allowed the building height to be 30 ft. After construction began it was found that
the contractor had made a mistake and constructed the roof to a 12/12 pitch. She
explained that the Knudson's had then made an application for a variance to the build-
ing height which had been denied by the Planning Commission for lack of a hardship.
She explained that the fire departments are not in favor of taller buildings because
they do not have fire equipment but that someone may want to discuss whether or not
having a one hour fire rated ceiling might be acceptable. She asked if Council would
consider issuing a Conditional Use Permit for such requests.
Robert Mitchell stated that he did not believe that a Conditional Use Permit was a
good idea.
JoEllen Hurr stated that the Knudsons were willing to wait for a discussion on the
possibility of changing the ordinance.
Ron Rogers stated that the Planning Commission may want to study the possibility of
taller buildings with large setbacks on large lots.
Moved by Schmit, seconded by Theis to authorize preparation of a resolution denying
the Douglas Knudson building height variance for lace of a hardship.
Motion declared carried

JoEllen Hurr explained that Rex Haske had requested a variance from the 30 ft. setback
requirement on a corner lot at 4645 Brook St., to allow construction of a house. She
stated that there is a drainage swale that he wishes to retain and he would like to
line up the house with others on the street.
Council discussed the Planning Commissions recommendation to deny the variance for
lack of a hardship and whether a 5 ft. variance would be sufficient.
Moved by Theis, seconded by Scherer to authorize preparation of a resolution granting
a 5 ft. variance from Lakeshore Ave. for construction of a house at 4645 Brook St.,
hardship being the retention of the drainage swale on the opposite side of the house.
Motion declared carried
Mr. Hasek appeared late and asked if Council would also grant a 2 ft. variance from the
north side to allow him to change the posistion of the house so as to line up with the
adjacent house.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Theis to amend the previous motion to allow the addit-
ional 2 ft. variance at the southwest corner to allow the house to be aligned with
the adjacent house to the west.
Motion declared carried
Peterson/Johnson Subdivision
JoEllen Hurr stated that a title search of the property had found a Federal Tax Lien on
the property that must be added to the resolution approving the Peterson/Johnson sub-
division. She stated that the area had been inspected by the engineer and herself and
and would recommend that one house be allowed on the north side of the road and one on
-the south side, before the road is finally constructed.

wide with road fabric placed the entire length of the road.

that the lien be satisfied and proper road plans submitted.

February and wishes to construct a house. Since making the application it has been
discovered that the variances granted in 198$ for setbacks, have expired.
Ron Batty explained that city ordinance required that Mr. Nelson needs to apply for
another variance.
William Nelson stated that setbacks from the lake might change but a building envelope
would not change and that an owner should be notified if a variance expires.
JoEllen Hurr reported that the Planing Commission has a special meeeting scheduled on
June 30th and Mr. Nelson could make application for that meeting.
William Nelson stated that he had revised the building plans and had secured a survey.
Robert Mitchell stated that measurements for setbacks should be made from the street.
Stephen Schmit stated that expiration time of a variance should be included in the
resolution.
Anne Theis stated that if a building envelope is approved, the time limit for it should
also be included in a resolution.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Theis to direct William Nelson to make application to the
Planning Commission for a setback variance.
