BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING - AUGUST 27, 1968 The Dane County Board of Adjustment met at 7:30 P.M. on August 27, 1968 in Room 223, City-County Building, Madison, Wisconsin to conduct a public hearing as published in the notice. The following members were present: Millard Erickson, Chairman; Oscar Holte, Vice-Chairman; Hermann Eisner, Secretary. Also present: Sam Morris, Assistant Corp- oration Counsel; L. J. Enger, Zoning Assistant. The meeting was called to order, the notice read and the following cases heard: 1. Appeal by Harold Pinger from the denial of a permit to build a garage on Lot 3 and the E3 of Lot 4, Brictson Park, Town of Dunn. Permit denied because set back from road is less than required by Ordinance. (35 feet from c/1 of road, 63 feet required) THOSE IN FAVOR: No one appeared. THOSE OPPOSED: Dr. Eugene Schroch asked that such a variance not be granted since it was not in keeping with the set back of other garages in the area. TOWN BOARD: Mr. Edwards and Mr. Hanson asked that a variance not be granted which would be greater than a 14 foot set back. ACTION BY THE BOARD: Mr. Eisner moved that the appeal be denied, Mr. Holte seconded and the vote was unanimous for denial. 2. Appeal by W. L. Henderson (Home Feed Co., ) from the denial of a permit to remodel a non-conforming building on Lots 6 and 7, Block 14, Village of Morrison, Town of Windsor. Permit denied because set- back from road is less than required by Ordinance. (-1 feet from row line of road, 20 feet required) THOSE IN FAVOR: Wm. L. Henderson, manager of Home Feed Co., said the building was built about 75 years ago for use storage purposes. Home Feed had used the building for the past 12 years for various purposes and more recently had remodeled it for the housing of a corn dryer. The corn dryer operation is a necessary service for the farmers in the area and a variance for the building will be needed quite soon as the the corn harvest is not far off. Mr. Erickson asked what additional work would be required to complete the building. Mr. Henderson said it was ready to use, but not complete as planned.and that he had not applied for a permit becquse he didn't realize they were needed. Mr. Erickson said as Chairman of The Town of Windsor, he had advised Mr. Henderson a number of times that both County and Town permits were needed for any construction work to be done, however there were not any applications made for such permits and a great deal of work .. :f; has been done. Mr. Enger explained to the group the requirements of the Zoning Ord- inance in regard to a non-conforming building also the interpretation that had been made that the drying of corn would be a legal use on land which was zoned C-2 Commercial and Light Manufacturing. Mr. Morris was of the opinion that these matters were correct in the interpretation of the Ordinance. Mr. Eisner asked if there were any alternative plans made in case the varaince was not granted. Mr. Henderson said that since the building had been tagged, he had not made any plans to dry corn else where. His present plans do ant include more drying capacity.
