Chairman Millard opened the public hearing by explaining that the
purpose of the Board of Adjustment is to protect the rights of the
applicant and the rights of the community as set out in the Zoning
laws.
CASE NO.1
Mr. Vanzin stated that he is not going to build two single family
residences; he has changed his plans and is going to build a duplex.
Chairman Millard explained to Mr. Vanzin that he will have to apply
for a special exception. The variance request will remain open and
the Board of Adjustment can act upon it at the same time they act upon
the special exception application. It was stated that the next public
hearing will be held October 8th since there is not enough time to
advertise anything for the September date.
CASE NO.2
Mr. Douglas L. MoIster is requesting a seven foot side setback variance
in order to construct an addition onto his house at 101 South Park Place.
Chairman Millard placed the applicant under oath. He verified that the
property was posted, the legal ad and certified letters were mailed out
to adjoining property owners.
Mr. MoIster explained that his addition is only going to extend toward
the east and will conform with the existing roofline.
Chairman Millard asked if there were any questions from adjoining property
owners.
Mr. Vaughn stated that his only question was which way the addition will
extend, and Mr. MoIster has already answered that question. He has no
objections.
Chairman Millard questioned the members in regard to the variance criteria.
There was a lengthy discussion in regard to the location of Mr. MoIster's
driveway. Chairman Millard. stated that the board can add a condition to
the variance. It was the overall concensus of the board that no more
traffic be caused on Park Avenue than is necessary, and that it would be
better if Mr. MoIster put his driveway either from Riverside Drive or
Park Place.
Mr. MoIster stated that he was in agreement with this.
Chairman Millard stated that the board is voting on the application as
shown. The applicant agrees to have two off-street parking spaces from
Riverside Drive. Upon roll call vote, it CARRIED 7-0 to grant Mr. MoIster
the variance.

CASE NO.3
Mr. and Mrs. John J. Turcol are requesting a variance to construct
a residence on their property on Hamilton Street.
Chairman Millard placed the applicant under oath. He verified that
the property was posted, the legal ad and certified letters were
mailed out to adjoining property owners.
Mrs. Turcol explained to the board that a variance to build on this
property was received earlier. She and her husband bought the lot
to build on, however now they are not together and she wants to sell
the property. The lady who wants to buy it, needs to know whether
she can build on it.
Chairman Millard explained that if Mrs. Turcol is granted a variance
it would transfer with the property to the new owners, and would be
good for one year.
Mrs. Turcol stated that the prospective buyer understands that and
she knows the required setbacks, and that if she can not meet them
then she will have to come to the board for a specific variance.
There was some discussion about the adjoining property owners.
There was some discussion about the requirements in regard to non-
conforming lots existing prior to the adoption of Ordinance 880.
It was explained that the new owner's plans will have to be submitted
to the Building Official and he will advise her as to whether she needs
a variance at that time.
Chairman Millard questioned the members in regard to the variance
criteria.
Chairman Millard stated that the board will be voting on a variance
for the use of the lot for building purposes, based on the fact that
it is under our existing lot clause.
Upon roll call vote, it CARRIED 7-0 to grant Mrs. Turcol this variance.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT REGULAR MEETING
August 25, 1981
ROLL CALL
(same as Public Hearing)
Chairman Millard made a few corrections to the wording of the
minutes of the July board meeting: Mrs. Walker was excused
rather than absent, and under each case, the first paragraphs,
Chairman Millard placed the applicants under oath rather than
issued an oath.
There were no other corrections. Chairman Millard declared the
minutes approved.
Chairman Millard reminded the board members of the letter they
received from the City Manager changing their meeting nights and
the location of their meetings. He stated that he would like to
reserve the right to use this conference room since there is always
a small group attending.
There was some discussion with the Building Official in regard to
exact location of lot lines. Mr. Murphy explained that the lot
line begins on the other side of the right-of-way from the street.
There being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned.
8:10 P.M.
