All of the neighbors have received information concerning this shed and there have been no objections.

DCC Thomas read Item #4 on the Agenda. Review petition for variance to property located at 523 West State Street regarding a set back of a garage. Property is zoned R-1. Application submitted by Tim and Colleen Flinn. Mr. Flinn is renovating the house at 523 West State Street and would like to put a garage in the back along Morgan Street. The ordinance states the garage must be 25 feet from the street and Mr. Flinn is asking for approval of 20 feet from the street. There is a structure next door that is 20 feet from the street. CDD Nyberg has been to the property and has inspected the site. There is another ordinance that states any structures must be 5 feet from the property line. CDD Nyberg believes that 5 feet from the property line will be very close to where Mr. Flinn is wanting to place the garage.

Chair Oldenettel asked for further discussion, or if there was anyone in attendance to speak in favor of, or opposition to this request and there were none. Motion was made by Little, seconded by Scott to approve this request.
