LANDS OF CR7W, File #VAR. 7036-77, 12011 Hilltop Drive, Paul Nowack, Engineer, Request or E� t1on of Approval on Variance Request. Mr. Markl introduced the Lands of Crow variance by noting that the variance is for an existing garage -living quarters oanbination. Discussion began imrediately with Comissicner Stewart stating that it was his feeling that if a-subdivisim (in this case landsof Crow, File #7M 2043-76) had been approved by the Planning Commission and a variance was discussed, that in requesting a separate variance hearing, the Omradssion was being redundant. He noted that a similar situation occurred in the case of Lands of Sisson, TM 2051-76. Discussion continued on the issue of granting a variance for Lands of C,mw with Mi. Russell stating that while the garage structure under discussion was constructed prior to the incorporation of the Town, the variance was being requested in order to maintain proper records and to satisfy a requirement made indirectly by the City Council. The public hearing was opened by Camdssioner Hahn. No one responded, and the hearing was closed. Before the vote was taken on the request, Commissioner Stewart stated that he wanted to have some kind of ruling on whether variances were approved at the time of the subdivision request.
