The City is interested in retaining an established drainage pattern and therefore is requesting Mr. Will to consider a higher density. The parcel would have to be rezoned to R -2.

Graser covered additional points on the systems statement. Population in various areas of the City together with their holding capacity. Third item on the agenda was a variance request by Mr. Don Fellon and Mr. Kannegieter. The two parcels are lots 15 and 16 Eastwood. This is a unique and precedence setting application. The request is for set backs on both lots. There are two individual property owners building on individual lots but sharing a common wall. A petition was submitted by the Pixie Point Circle property owners in opposition of the proposal. Mr. Don Johnson - spoke against the proposal and that is could result in rental property and deteriorate the neighborhood. Mr. Roger Dawson - such a large building would obstruct his view of the lake. Mr. Steffens - agreed with the Planner, that is an innovating idea, a conservation of energy, resulting in a monetary benefit to the neighborhood THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY Ray Calloway - claims lots are still owned by Don Benson. Don Fellon - had purchase agreement with him. Mrs. Don Benson - concerned about the presidence this would set possibly resulting in more doubles in the neighborhood. The question arose of whether this would be considered a duplex or two single family homes if one of the applicants owned both lots. Graser was directed to consult the City Attorney. Motion by Klein to continue this request to April 21 seconded by Cavill and upon a vote taken motion duly passed. Fourth item on the agenda was Mr. Jeff Hennen requesting a 5' side yard variance, and a S' rear yard variance. The parcel is a 50' lot with existing house and single car garage l' off the property line. This garage would be torn down and placed 5' from the side property line. Motion by Cavill to approve the variance as applied for seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken motion duly passed. Reasons for granting variance; not interfere with any sight lines and it would be an improvement over present conditions. Also it would not be detramental to health, safety and general welfare of the community. Fifth item on the agenda was a variance request by Mr. Bob Rudolphi The applicant was asking for a 10.5' front yard variance for Lots 26 and 27 Candy Cove Park. The parcel is a 100' lakeshore lot with exterme topographical constraints. Motion was made by Houts to approve the variance request seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken motion duly passed. Reason for approving variance; the location of the house on the lot was the only ecomonically feasible location. Extreme topographical constraints restricted building. Building in the lower portion of the lot would not result in gravity sewer. Also it would not be detramental to adjacent property values. The garage would be parallel to the road eliminating backing onto the road. It is a reasonable request and would not be detramental to general health, safety, and welfare of the community. Motion was made by Klein to adjourn, seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, meeting was adjourned at 9:35 P.M.
