Mr. Hite explained to the Commission that the agenda was in error and that by ordinance the public hear- ing on this request would have to be held by the Village Council upon receiving t?,i reconmiendation of the Commission. Mr. Carlson's .request indicated that he intended r:o build an 80 foot house on the lot and that due to side yard requirements, it would only be possible to f-ziae the house to the north along the long side of the lot. The members of the Commission, noting that home: built in the immediate area would all be facing the short side of their lots, and that neii;her the shape or the topo6raphy of the lot in question created a situation wherein it would be a hardship to locate a house facing the side of the lot, required by ordinance, recommended unanimously, after motion by Lewis9 seconded by Gustafsonp that the request be denied.
