Members Present: Evan Gull, Chairman
Spiro Niarhos
Melinda Pearson
Joe Zanin
Alternate Members Present: Peter Dobrovolny
Bob 'Miller
Peggy Seeger, Zoning Official was present to give staff recommen-
dations.
Gull called the meeting to order. There were four sets of
minutes before the Board, including one set from 1985 that had
never been signed. Zanin moved to approve the minutes o£
September 24, 1985, January 27,'1987, February 24, 1987 and March
31, 1987. Miller seconded the motion.. All were in favor.,
Gull reminded the applicants of the requirement that the notice
sign be posted in accordance with the regulations.` "

Both applicants were present".~ `"'They we're"requestiri'g 'si3e'a'nd
rearyard sethacks for an addition of a bedroom and bath, Their
property is located in an RS-30 zone, affected by downzoning.
Mr. Klenck began that the logical place to built an addition is
the place where the setback is already encroached'on. He wanted
to reduc',e the rearyard setback to 10 ft. and the sideyard setback
to 40 ft. in order to put the size addition that they wanted.
He showed the Board members some„pictures pf the house and the,
lot. Dobrovolny pointed out' that the date on the'"Klencks sign is
wrong. It had the meeting listed as May 8th. Dobrovolny
continued that the reason.. he knew the sign was wrong was because
he lives above their lot and drives by it every day. He stated
he was familiar with the house_,and it is the only logical place
to add on to the house. Gull, asked Seeger how large a parcel in
an RS-30 zone should be. Seeger replied 30 acres. The Klenck's
lot is about 2 acres. Gull asked what the AF-Z `z one setbacks
would be. Seeger replied 75 ft., 20 ft. and 20 ft. Gull stated
that he was not especially concerned about the rearyard setback
considering the infringement that is already there. He was more
concerned about the sideyard setback. Dobrovolny explained that
he rented the lot directly above which was a 2 a'dre lot and the
house on it is situated as high up on the lot as possible,
probably infringing on its setback, so it's a long way away.
Mrs. Kle,,nr_k stated that there is a very steep embankment at the
~.
..
edge. of the property line, so there is a very defi
between the properties. Niarhos asked w erne the o
lots were located. Klenck and Dob~ro~volny s~owe~'~t

frontyard setback variance and a sideyard setback variance to
build a 1900 sq. ft. single family dwelling within 30 ft. of the
road. The property is zoned AF 1 Favour ,explained that it is
roadssbece to build anywhere on the lot and be 1004ft. from-the
ause the lot is not that wide They have a 3 acre lot;
150 ft. along the river, part. of~it is aI'ong Highway II2 and
Twining Flats Road cuts,_across the lot Miller explained the
topography of the lot. He also explain°e'd that there is a log
structure on the lot, built by Paul D"udley, it does not have
plumbing: They said they would like.,to keep up the dwelling for
storage and a workshop. Seeger stated that, it was checked today.
It is not a legal dwelling. Gull asked about the,ownersh`ipwof
the road. Miller explained that there was an easement for the
road. He continued the Twining Flats area is not`''a 'subdivision,,
:,n,.
but there are about 13 lots in that area"and many of them are
close to the road. Zanin mentioned that in that area there have
been a lot of variances, granted because the lots run steeply 't°o'- "
the river. Dobrovolny asked if the road was not a public road,
but just an easement, wasn't all they need-would be a frontyard
setback variance. Seeger replied that she had beef Lnsfructed by
the Coucety Attorney, that all surface easements must be ded'ucte'd
from the lot area for setback measurements;,, Seeger suggested
that the variance be measur_ad frometbe.buil ante with the

was. Srhlumberger replied 3 acres. After some discussion about
past variances for agricultural use, Dobrovolny moved that ~ 7
ft. height variance be granted in order to construct a barn/hay
storage building, that can't properly be used and creates a
hardship for the agricultural operation without t,fie increased
height. Niarhos seconded the motion. The motion ',passed. 5 - 0.

Zanin explained that he "v"rould 6'e abstain'ing fr'am'voting o`n `
this case. The applicant was present with his wife, Mary Price
and their lawyer, Jeremy Berstein. They were requesting a 70 ft.
frontyard setback variance. Their lot is zoned AF-l, which
requires a 100 ft. frontyard setback, 30 ft. sideyard setbacks
and 30 ft. rearyard setback. Price showed the Board a model of
the house and explained why they wanted to locate the house where
they did. They would like to tuck the house back, on the lot, so
they worild not look directly into the house next door, they would
have more privacy as well as their neighbors andxt would
appreciate the value of both properties. He continued that if",
the driveway came off of Eppley they would not need a variance.
If the driveway came from where they would like to locate it,
they would need a variance, The reasons for locating the
driveway there would for safety', it would be a much flatter
driveway. He also pointed out that by locating the house where
they wanted to, it would be less obtrusive to the houses that
would be built above theirs in the future.., Dobrovolny and Gull
pointed out that they would be unable to conform to the frontyard
setback in either case. Gull asked if they had already been to
the 5tarwood Homeowners Association and been approved. Mrs.

Pied. Price replied that they didn't specify an envelope, they
couldn't find the stakes. E11ie Brickham asked if they had
found the stake. Zanin replied', that if they go by the survey,
they couldn't. find the stake, they would he about,3 ft. out of
the envelope, to move the house the 3 ft., they would have to cut
down a large group of aspen trees. Brickham explained that she
was representing Dr. Bernstein. He objects to it, because the
Homeowners have not approved .the house. Niarhos asked her if he
was objecting because they had not approved the design or the
site of the house. Brickham replied the design. 'Bernstein
interjected and asked Brickham in what capacity was she appear-
ing. She replied that she was representing Dr. Bernstein and the
Starwood Homeowners Board. Niarhos asked if she wa`s olijecting'to
the height or the site of the building. Brickham replied the
height. Niarhos explained that they were here to approve the
location of the building and would not he granting a.ny variances

for the height of the building. Gull asked her if the Starwood
Homeowners restrictions were more restrictive than the„Qounty.
Brickham replied that they were not. Pearson asked if the
neighbor objected to the proximity of the house to his. Brickham
replied that he was. She also brought up the fact that the
Starwood Homeowners did. not receive notice of the meeting and
the sign posted on the property had the wrong date on it
(4/21/8'7). Gull asked if Dr. Bernstein had received the written
notice faith the correct date. on it. Brickham„replied that he
had. She objected that they could not see the sign on the
property. Zanin stated that the sign was placed at the entrance
of the driveway. Gull's interpretation was that there had been
adequate notice, the sign with the meeting date lasted as one
week early, would give an interested neighbor time to pursue the
meeting and find out the new date. Gull continued that ,t he
homeowners had received legal notice, the sign had been posted,
and that in the future. the policy of notifying Homeowner's
Associations as a courtesy would be reinstated. there were nn,
further comments. Pearson moved that a 70 ft. frontyard setback
variance be granted due to downzoning. Niarhos seconded the
motion. The motion passed 5 - 0. Dobrovolny and Miller were
voting. Zanin abstained.
Case # 87-14 - Donald K. Cramer' River Road
The applicant was present. He was requesting a height
variance to 21'-6" at the highest point for a hay barn. The
property is zoned AF-1. Cramer began that h`e wanted to build a
barn to, tore 6,000 to 8,000 bales of hay, and it would require
that height, because the stack wagon would require that height to
tip, also a building to store that much hay would be huge at 12
ft. in height. Gull asked the applicant the size of hxs prop-
erty. He replied 310 acres. Niarhos moved that a `J- ft. 6 in.
height variance be granted for a hay barn due to the hardships
imposed by the code on an ongoing agricultural us'e, which would
require a building of this size to accommodate. normal power
equipment used for this operation. Zanin seconded the motion.
The motion passed 5 - 0. Miller was the alternate voting.
Case # 87-15 - Stan Hall 0550 Holland hills Road
Yvonne Hall was present. The "Tot"was zoned"A`F-l, which
requires 100 ft. frontyard setback, 30 ft. sideyard setbacks and
a 30 ft.' rearyard setback. The lot was .88 acre. The applicant
was requesting setback variances to construct a garage. Gull
asked why the applicant didn't move the garage closer to the
house and avoid the sideyard setback problem. Hall had spoken'to
a plans examiner at the building Department and was told she
would require a 1-hr. fire-rated wall. Pearson moved that a 7
ft. frontyard setback variance rind 3 ft. sideyard setback
variance be granted due to downzoning to build a garage. Zanin
seconded the motion,, The mot.ign passed 5 - 0. Dobrovolny was
the alternate voting.
