Adopt Agenda:  MOTION (Kuehn/Dallas) to adopt the agenda as printed. PASSED, without negative vote. 5. Public Hearing re: Kelley Gustaveson Variance: Chairman Schmit opened the public hearing at 5:01 p.m. Kelley Gustaveson explained that a sketch plan she submitted to the Plan Commission on 7/30/18 for review was not approved because she wanted to split the remaining parcel into 3 lots, 2 of which would not meet the minimum lot width requirement of 130’ for R2 zoned property. Her options were to petition for a rezone, or a variance. She is petitioning the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance that would allow the division of the 2 lots (proposed Lot 6: 102’ wide, and Lot 7: 102.01’wide) as presented in the sketch plan. Lot 5: 154.54’ wide is not at issue as it complies with the ordinance. Three citizens spoke against the variance. The public hearing was closed at 5:10 p.m. 6. Consider Variance: The members reviewed the standards for granting a variance. Because the parcel could be split into 2 lots that would meet the lot width requirement, the members felt that the petition for a variance did not meet the standards.  MOTION (Kuehn/Reetz) to deny the petition for the variance at 628 S State Street. PASSED, roll call vote: Dallas-yes, Henrichs-yes, Kuehn-yes, Reetz-yes, Schmit-yes. 7. Adjourn:  MOTION (Dallas/Kuehn) @ 5:15 p.m. PASSED, without negative vote.
