New Business a. PZ-24-22/340 S Wisconsin Avenue/Variation/Petitioner: Anne Pettinger. Michelle House summarized that the Petitioner is requesting approval of a variation for a deck in the front yard setback. The proposed deck extends 6.0 feet from the front building facade and would extend into the front yard setback by 3.83 feet, leaving an overall front yard setback of 26.17 feet. In May a permit was issued to remove and replace siding. The existing deck was removed to complete the siding work. Page 2 of 10 Commissioner Luedtke stated that this was the third project that comes across with this issue. He assumes that we will take it into consideration and clear up and add definitions. Michelle House said she would be happy to look into this. Commissioner Shlensky said that he would support by text amendment for staff to address immediately. Commissioner Shlensky asked how the homeowners got into the house currently? Anne Pettinger said by using janky stairs. Commissioner Shlensky asked how long is the siding? Anne Pettinger responded to the ground. Commissioner Shlensky asked is the deck covered below? Anne Pettinger responded yes, so animals do not get in. Commissioner LeMieux said this is a precedence on the block, with three other homes it makes the property look attractive. Chairman Jarrett would like to clarify that each variance must be considered separately and cannot be considered a precedence and must stand on its own. Motion Commissioner Shlensky moved to recommend approval of PZ-24-22 for a Variation for a deck within the front yard setback as shown in exhibit A located at 340 S Wisconsin Avenue. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hofstra. On Roll Call: AYES: Commissioners LeMieux, Luedtke, Hofstra, Calvert, Shlensky, Orlowski, Chairman Jarrett (7) NAYS: None (0) ABSTAIN: None (0) The motion carried. V.
