Council denies variance request for Roger Sines' 12'x20' portable shed
Summary
The Mendota City Council denied a variance request from Roger Sines to place a 12'x20' portable shed closer than the required 5-foot setback. Building Inspector Boelk recommended denial and the council voted to deny the request by roll call.
Alderman Hessenberger presented a building variance request from Roger Sines to place a 12'x20' portable shed in his backyard that would be closer than the 5-foot setback required by zoning. Building Inspector Boelk recommended denying the request. Alderman Hessenberger moved to deny the variance and Alderman Fitzpatrick seconded; the roll call vote was unanimous among present members and the motion carried.
The transcript records the applicant and the inspector's recommendation but does not include testimony from the applicant or additional supporting documents in the minutes. The denial means the property owner must either revise the proposal to meet setback requirements or pursue other lawful options such as a different structure location or a formal appeal process documented with city staff.
