Fred Kasten opened the
meeting of the Appeals Board explaining the State Statues rules. The Committee
will have to elect a chairperson and designate someone to be recording
secretary. When a vote is taken, the
vote has to be unanimous or 4-1 decision.
It cannot be 3-2. Any decision is
final and the town board has no jurisdiction over the decision made by the
Appeals board. The votes are recorded. The application was a request for a variance
from a 30’ setback from the back property line to a 20’ setback. Robert Freeman would like to build a 24’x26’
garage on parcel # 022-085801, 2537 State Road 116, Omro, Wi.
Janet Helmuth
nominated Charlie Knigge for chairman.
Charles Knigge
called the Appeals Meeting to order. He
asked Robert Freeman for the background and how it came to light that he would
need a variance. Mr Freeman stated he
knew the setback was 30’, but he would prefer 20’. Fred Kasten told Mr Freeman that he could
either go for a zoning change of R-1, where the set back would be 10’, or apply
for a variance.
Mr Bohn inquired if any of
the neighbors had objected. Hendricks
stated that a letter was sent to each neighbor and no concerns were bought to
her attention.
Mr Freeman stated that the garage
would have a 4-12 pitch and be 8’ high.
Roll call vote for the
acceptance of the variance was taken:
Steve Demuth Accept
Helen Larsen Accept
Charlie Knigge Accept
Warren Bohn Accept
Janet Helmuth Accept
The Variance request passed
unanimously. Charles Knigge
adjourned the meeting at 6:10 pm.
