Staff presented a variance application from Bart and Nathan Fredrickson for a property listed in the packet as "1 29th South Harmon Drive," seeking a lakeside/front-yard setback of 8 feet instead of the required 35 feet for an existing 2019 addition and a new addition proposed at 20 feet 8 inches versus the 35-foot requirement.

Staff said notices were published and three responses in favor were included in the packet. According to staff, when the 2019 addition was previously permitted, the building permit did not include an approved variance; correcting that record now will provide a clean title record for future sale. Staff described the new work as a living room addition and said the variance would "clean up" the permit history.

A motion to recommend approval of the variance was moved and seconded. During the voice vote the maker of the motion indicated an abstention from the oral vote; despite that, the motion carried. No audience testimony opposed the request in the transcript.
