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 werEp four sets of
minutes before the Board, including one set from 1985 that had
never been signed. Zanin moved to approve the minutes of
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.
m or-ice - earl and Lou Klenck= 1076 E. Souris Greek Rd
Botli applicants were present. They were requesting side and
rearyard setbacks 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 reduce the rearyard setback to 10 ft. and the sideyard setback
to 40 ft. in order to put the size addition t17at they wanted.
He showed the Board members some pictures of 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 wars 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 hove 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--2 zone setbacks
would be. Seeger replied 'r5 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 acre lot. and the
house on it is situated as high up nn the lot as possible,
probably infringing on its setback, so it's a long way away,
Mrs. Klenck stated that there is a very steep embankment at the
1
,,
t n.
-,
edge of the property line, so there is a very definite division
between the properties. Niarhos asked where the other adjacent
lots were located. Klenck and Dobrovolny showed the $oard.
Pearson asked about the property owners to the North. Mrs.
Klenck stated that she had spoken to and shown the location of
the proposed addition to all of the neighbors, except onP who was
out of town. Pearson was concerned because of the inaccurate
date on the sign. Gull replied that they did not have any
complaints on file. Zanin moved that a variance be granted of
39 ft. to the rearyard setback and 9 ft. to the sideyard setback
due to downzaning. Niarhos seconded the motion. The motion
passed. 5 - 0. Dobrovolny was the alternate voting.
°°~ m or-ii - Mollie Favour and Brad Miller - 40$ Twinin Flats
Rd.
Both applicants were present. They were requesting a
frontyard setback variance and a sideyard sei;back 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
impossible to build anywhere on the lot and be 100 ft. from the
road, because the lot is not that wide. They° have a 3 acre lot,
150 ft. along the river, part of it is along Highway 82 and
Twining Flats Road cuts across the lot. Miller explained the
topography of the Iot. He also explained that there is a log
structure on the lot, built by Paul Dudley, 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 ownership of
the road. Miller explained that there was an easement for the
road. He continued the Twining Flats area is not a subdivision,
but there are about 13 lots in that area and !n any 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 to
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 been instructed by
the County Attorney, that all surface easements must be deducted
from the lot area for setback measurements. Seeger suggested
that the variance be measured from the center line of the road,
which was the only thing that was platted. Niarhos made a
motion to approve a 35 ft. frontyard setback variance with the
additional condition that the house be built no closer than 30
ft. from the platted center line and a 30 ft. sideyard setback
variance due to downzoning. Pearson seconded the motion. The
motion was passed. 5 - 0. Miller was the alternate voting.
Case # 87-12 - Maz•tin Schlumberger - 260,
The applicant was Doc Henry Road
variance to Present. He was requesting a 7 ft. height
get a 4-12 roof pitch. Schlumberger explained that
there was a shed there now, which he'd like to replace with a
new barn that was a little larger and to get the pitch required
by code, which is over 3-12, he would need the additional 7 ft.

~ ',;
Gull asked Seeger for the definition of a barn. Seeger replied
that in the RS-Z0, R5-30, RS-160 zones, a barn can be as tall as
a house. In the other zones, accessory structures, including
barns can only be as tall as I2 ft. Gull a~:ked how big the lot
was. Schlumberger replied 3 acres. After ::ome discussion about
past variances for agricultural use, Dobrovolny moved that a 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 the increased
height. Niarhos seconded the motion. The motioq passed. 5 - 0,
Dobrovolny was the alternate voting.
" oc-i3 - lleak Price Lot R-96 Starwood Subdivision
Zanin explained that he would be abstaining 'from voting on
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 l.ot is zoned AF-1, 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 would not look directly into the house next door, they would
have more privacy as well as their neighhors and it 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 h,ad already been to
the Starwood Homeowners Association and been approved. Mrs.
Price replied that they were in the midst of :it. Gull asked if
their plans comply with the building envelope:; that were speci-
fied. Price replied that they didn't specify an envelope, they
couldn't find the stakes. Ellie Brickham ask<>d if they had
found the stake. Zanin replied that if they F;o by the survey,
they couldn't find the stake, they would be 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 i.he
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 was chjecting t~
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 be granting any variances

. - ,,,~~
far the height of the building. Gull asked her if the Starwood
Homeowners restrictons'wez-e more restrictive than the County.
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
(4/21/87). Gull asked if Iqr. $ernstein had received the written
notice with 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 listed as one
week early, would give an interested neighbor time to pursue the
meeting and find out the new date. Gull continued that the
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 no
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.
"u5c *' ai-lq - 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. 'Phe
property is zoned AF-1. Cramer began that he wanted to build a
barn to store 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 he huge at 12
ft. in height. Gull asked the applicant the size of his prop-
erty. He replied 310 acres. Niarhos moved that a 3 ft. E in.
height variance be granted for a hay barn due to the hardships
imposed by the code on an ongoing agricultural use, which would
require a building of this size to accommodate normal Power
equipment used for this operation. Zanin sPCanded the motion.
The motion passed 5 - 0. Miller was the alternate voting.
Case # $7-15 - Stan Ha21 0550 Holland 11i11.s Road
Yvonne Hall was presen£. The lot was zoned AF-1, which
requires 100 ft. frontyard setback, 30 ft. sideyard setbacks and
a 30 ft. rearyard sethack. 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 sethack 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 mgv~d that a 7
ft, frontyard setback variance and 3 ft. sideyard setback
variance be granted <iue to downzoning i,o build a garage. Zanin
seconded the motion. The motion passed 5 - 0. Dobrovolny was
the alternate vesting.
4
_,,,
The applicant was present with her lawyer, Pete Van Domelan.
The applicant was requesting a 4 ft. sideyard setback variance
for a residence which was constructed in 1978. Van'Domelan
explained that Heldman is in the process of selling the house, in
connection with that, the purchaser had. requested an improvement
survey. It was discovered that the northwestern setback line is
in violation. This lot is zoned R-30, which requires a 15 ft.
sideyard line and the setback. is now 11.1 ft.. He researched the
records of the Building Department and the sideyard setback was
approved, there is a notation: "zoned R-30 PUD" from Patsy
Newbury. The site plan that was submitted then is exactly the
same as the new one. Van Domelan could not come up with an
explanation of why it had happened, but it is causing a problem
with the potential purchaser. Van Domelan. presented to the
Board, two letters from neighbors supporting Heldman. Gull read
both into the record. The first was from Jatnes E. Moore, the
owner of Lot 2, the adjacent lot on the east side, stating that
the setback variance did not pace problems far him. The other
was a note Pram Gretchen Gorog, the owner of Lot 1, stating that
they also had no problem with the setback variance. Seeger
explained that this was not far an addition, but in order for
everything to be settled anal clear for the new owner. Zanin made
the motion to grant a 4 ft, sideyard setback variance to accom-
modate the existing encroachment shown on the plat. Dobrovolny
seconded the motion. The motion passed. 5 - 0. Dobrovolny was
the alternate voting.
At the request of Seeger, Gull asked the Board members if there
were any objections to rescheduling the next meeting for Sune 2,
1987, due to Onsgard's scheduled vacation. TT ere `W ere no
objections.
Niarhos moved that the meeting be adjourned. Zanin seconded the
motion. All were in favor.
Respectfully submitted,
