Board of Adjustment <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 19, 2023 <br />Page 9 of 11 <br />That is why he takes neighbor's feedback so seriously. Nitpicking rules is not <br />doing the residents justice. <br />Hawksley says that argument implies that the owner will not be able to rebuild if <br />they do not get this variance. That is not the case though. Public comment is <br />valuable but this house has not been built yet. The people providing public <br />comment are also not professionals, but residents only. <br />Sommer mentions the importance of safety and how that applies to variances. <br />Hawksley says this lot is bigger than its two adjoining neighbors and yet they still <br />cannot build a single story ranch house. <br />Cole says those adjoining lots only have a five-foot setback and we are mainly <br />discussing the side yard setback, which is 18-feet. The shape of the lot is unique <br />and the front of it is so narrow. <br />Stuart moves and Nakari seconds a motion to approve the request for a variance <br />for a 145 square -foot, 5.8-foot encroachment into the required 18-foot street side <br />setback for a new single-family residence at 956 Eldorado Ln. Motion passes by <br />a 5-1 roll call vote. <br />Name <br />Vote <br />Scott Berger <br />Yes <br />Matt Nakari <br />Yes <br />Joel Hawksley <br />No <br />James Stuart <br />Yes <br />Karen Cooper <br />Yes <br />Sherry Sommer <br />Yes <br />Motion passed/failed: <br />Pass <br />C.
