OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Chairperson George Houtman called the Board of Adjustment meeting to order on Thursday,
September 20, 2018, at 5:00 PM in the Chambers Room of the City & County Government
Center. Members present were Teresa Binkley, Justin Borns, Dustin Edmison, and Houtman.
Absent were Nick Schmeichel and Jeremy Scott. Others present were City Planner Staci
Bungard, Michael Foster, Terry Wieczorek, and others.
Items #4a — Michael Foster explained that if they removed a section of concrete to get them
to a 36 foot width, the detached garage would not be easily accessible. They would be
willing to remove the 10' flare on the side of the garage. Also, the Fosters' were not aware of
the rear yard setback encroachment. Houtman asked about the detached garage that is
extending over the property line. Mr. Foster explained that this is just an overhang on the
garage.
Houtman asked if they would be willing to bring the current driveway straight back, to the
front yard setback, and remove any concrete east of this line. Foster agreed to this, but
would like a city official to come out and mark exactly where that front yard setback line is at.
Item #41b — Terry Wieczorek, legal counsel for the applicants, explained that the owners are
in the process of selling Brickwood Plaza and the purchasers had recently had the property
surveyed. The survey showed the buildings are encroaching slightly into the setbacks. The
property was surveyed before the buildings were built, so they are not sure why the buildings
are encroaching into the setbacks. However, to assist with the process of the sale, the
sellers have applied for a variance to allow the buildings to be in the setback area.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:25p.m.
