PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. 3603 Red Cedar Point Front Setback Variance Request
Planner Rachel Jeske reviewed the front setback variance request for 3603 Red Cedar Point. She
summarized the location and noted that it was residential, single-family, and low-density
residential. The lot was 0.71 acres and was bisected by a driveway easement. She reviewed the
lot line adjustment, which would make the proposed setback 7 feet and five inches. She noted
that the lot line adjustment was required to solve a court-ordered dispute. She noted that the
variance met all of the necessary criteria.
Chair Noyes stated that the variance request seemed straightforward since it was tied to a court
order.
Chair Noyes opened the public hearing. There were no public comments.
Chair Noyes closed the public hearing.

Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the
requested front yard setback and adopts the attached Findings of Facts and Decisions. All
voted in favor, and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 7 to 0.
