Public Hearing and Related Action Items a. Convene Meeting and Enter Public Hearing – Brad & Tina Burg Variance Fischer presented a detailed explanation of the Board of Adjustment process and the three variance criteria required for approval. Entered Public Hearing at 6:28 p.m. i. Brad & Tina Burg are requesting a variance to construct a detached accessory structure within 75 feet of a navigable waterway on their property at N3002 Lakeshore Drive in the Town of Brothertown. Giebel read the hearing notice and staff memo into record. Brad Burg presented an explanation addressing the three variance criteria required for approval: • Unique property features preventing compliance with ordinance terms • Unnecessary hardship • No harm to public interests if the variance is granted Giebel read a letter into record from Judy Bloom, a neighbor across the street, expressing support for the project. b. Close Public Hearing and Reconvene Regular Meeting Closed Public Hearing at 6:42 p.m. i. Proposed Action: Brad & Tina Burg variance to construct an accessory structure 36 feet from a navigable waterway on the property. The Board deliberated before making their decision. Motion made by Jannette, second by Peik to approve the variance with the unique property limitations that they happen to have a stream running through a 2-acre parcel. It’s limited, it’s unique, they have limited options as to where they can and cannot build on it. The unnecessary hardship is very similar to the unique physical quality as they have very limited spots as to where to build. No harm to the public. I don’t see there would be any harm to the public more than there already is. Motion carried unanimously. 11. Discuss Next Meeting Giebel indicated that there are no other petitions filed with the department at this time. 12. Adjournment Motion by Cousins and second by Jannette to adjourn the meeting at 6:51 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Jennifer Bonlander, Recorder
