Michael Lee, Chad Keune (owner), and Duane Musser (representing MMS Engineering) spoke in favor of
the variance. The Board discussed the case in relationship to the seven criteria listed in the City Code
and on the application, and generally agreed that this was not a unique set of circumstances, it was for
financial gain, the hardship was self-created, there were other remedies, substantial rights would not be
denied, and this would be a special privilege. It was noted that it would not be detrimental.
Ruttum motioned to deny the variance, and Erenberger seconded the motion. The variance was denied
by a 3-1 vote. Carter, Erenberger, and Ruttam voted to deny the variance request. Reed voted “no” to
the motion, in favor of the variance.
Old Business: None
New Business: None
