Motion was seconded by and carried unanimously. Attorney Little swore in all Board members and audience members.
Director Weaver stated, and 14.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, oops I’m sorry, 14 yes, I didn’t turn the page. We will treat them the evidence as one but we will vote on them individually. Correct? Make sure I have that right.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay just so everyone understands that so.
#2711 Terrence M. Pickens; The property is located on Part of Lots 13 and 14 in Hinshaw’s White Point Addition, located just North of C.R. 225 N at 2406 N. West Shafer Drive. Continued from July 17, 2008.
Request: He is requesting an 8’ front setback variance and a 5’ rear setback variance to bring the existing cottage and attached garage into compliance and to separate the lots and change the lot lines.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, now do you want me to read all of those or stop there? Stop?
Gerald Cartmell asked, they’ve all ready been in haven’t they? There’s no point in reading them.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, basically we have.
Director Weaver stated, we have, yea.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, so just the fact announcing the number of the variance and leave it at that, yea we’ve been down this before.
Gerald Cartmell stated, that’s the man that has that slip of paper down there.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, yep.
Attorney Little asked, yea you did that last time right?
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, yes. I’ll leave it right there if that’s fine with the Board and everyone. Okay and sir you are?
Terry Pickens stated, Terry Pickens.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, yes, do you have anything?
Terry Pickens stated, I’ve gone before the Board previously on this matter, it was actually voted in my favor at one point but then it was suggested that if, to keep the lots separate which is a way I purchased them originally that I redraw some lot lines in order to bring the property into closer compliance which I did and I submitted to the, at the last hearing that was affected by the road widening project.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, okay, Diann do you have anything on this?
Director Weaver stated, I do not have anything additional, no.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay. Questions from the Board? Gerald do you want to start? Nothing? Charlie?
Dave Scott stated, the only question I have uh, I realize the county’s created a hardship here for you when they put the road through there.
Terry Pickens stated, yes sir.
Terry Pickens stated, well Dave what I did was I bought these separately at different times so the problem being the way the lot lines fell, there were several encroachments when I bought them and it was the Boards suggestion that if I had the lines redrawn that I could actually have property that’s in better compliance. It’s a lot easier to, if I ever sold one piece to still, to find a buyer for one piece then to sell the whole um, um, package. I bought them separately, I’d like to stay in the community and on the lake and if I were to sell a piece to a relative or somebody I could legally do that so, you know.
Dave Scott stated, when we do this it creates a situation where anytime anybody wants to make an improvement or do anything to any of these lots they’re going to be in here for a variance by making these lots so small.
Terry Pickens stated, yes, right, and they got smaller even when the frontage was taken.
Dave Scott stated, I realize that.
Terry Pickens stated, they took like half of the property.
Dave Scott stated, um, and I guess what I’m thinking is that somebody unknowingly is going to buy one of these thinking that he can do something on it and whoever’s up here may not grant him those variances.
Terry Pickens stated, yea, no I would have to make the buyer aware that you know it’s less than the square footage needed, no, I don’t see that you could build anything more on here there’s to many pieces on here as it is and that’s the way it was, you know I didn’t, I bought them separately and I would just try to make them into better compliance by redrawing the lines. I’ve had them for 17 years.
Terry Pickens stated, I’ll probably have them for another 17 years.
Terry Pickens stated, I actually had to buy that lot 13 from a different owner you know. You know there’s no more adjacent property for sale. I did approach my neighbor but they’re not willing to sell at this time.
Director Weaver stated, I might refresh the Boards memory that this was granted a variance I think like last December to bring these structures into compliance and it did as part of that request did join them all together as one and the reason that Mr. Pickens is here is to separate them back so each lot has it’s own variance and can be kept separate.
Terry Pickens stated, and Diann will say to file the paperwork to combine them at that point.
Director Weaver stated, the application was for all of the lots on one application.
Terry Pickens stated, for the purpose of this hearing, right.
Director Weaver stated, on this one you did a separate application for each lot.
Terry Pickens stated, right just keep them the way they were when I purchased them.
Terry Pickens stated, so that the, wouldn’t be demised by, you know assemblage is good in one way but then you know, if you assemble it, it’s not big enough to run it as a ongoing business because it’s you know just a few buildings there so separately is the only thing that makes sense to me and it’s not that I would sell one off you know, I wanted to keep them the way they were when I purchased them that’s all. Thank you.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, Dave do you have anything else?
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay. Shaker I’ll just call on you. Your kind of being thrown into fire here right away but.

Request: They are requesting a 54’ front setback variance to build a new pole building.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, anyone here representing the Cook’s? Yes?
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, all right, thank you. Yes sir?
Gary Cosgray stated, my name’s Gary Cosgray alias Dean Cook.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, all righty. Do you have anything to present to the Board other than I read for the record?
Gary Cosgray stated, no Dean’s got them everything that I’ve got with me.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, all right. Diann do you have anything?
Director Weaver stated, we did receive some additional information that you do have in your packet.
Director Weaver stated, we have a letter from Mr. Little and copies of some documents that were supplied by his office.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, why don’t you go ahead and enter those for the record if you would please.
Director Weaver stated, the letter from Mr. Little’s office is dated August 5, 2008 addressed to the White County Board of Zoning Appeals, it says Dear Sir’s I represent Steve and Bonnie Parrish, adjoining property owners to the Cook property. Pursuant to my earlier conversations with our office, and Jerry Altman, I am submitting on their behalf copies of the following documents: 1. Grant of Right of Way (Easement), 2. Deed to Cooks. At this point, I still am trying to determine ownership of the real estate underlying the right of way. I also note, however, that the legal description contained in the Deed to the Cooks as repeated in the surveys in your file, do not appear to have a correct description of the property drawn. I have attempted to highlight the questioned portion of the legal description for you. I will get you a copy of anything further I find that might be helpful. Very Truly yours, Robert H. Little. And there is a personal representative’s deed from the Lingenfelter and Parrish to Thelma Lucille Parrish for the estate of Thelma Lucille Parrish conveying to W. Dean Cook and Marcia E. Cook, a warranty deed from the same. There is a document that’s labeled, headed as an easement and there is another warranty deed from the Parrish’s to the Cook’s and a personal representatives deed from Thelma Lucille Parrish Estate deeding to the Cooks. And that’s all I have.
Dave Scott asked, uh, Mr. Little can you testify or no?
Gary Cosgray asked, I don’t think he’s supposed to, is he?
Gary Cosgray asked, is he really supposed to or not?
Attorney Little stated, I would prefer not to, the Parrish’s are here and I would prefer to have them answer. The time I submitted what I did, I didn’t know I was going to be here tonight.
Dave Scott stated, okay I just wondered if you say the language in the legal description uh, isn’t such that you can describe the easement?
Attorney Little stated, what my letter said, I think I can explain what my letter says since I wrote it, what the letter said was there was what appears to be an error in the legal description the deed to the Cooks and that it was a dimension or a direction of north 8 degrees west, I think it was supposed to read north 89 degrees west which means the line around the farm goes in the wrong direction. That’s the point of that submission on the deed there would be an error then on the legal description on the deed.
Dave Scott asked, so does that work in favor or against the petitioner of the, of the variance?
Attorney Little stated, the, if the legal description is accurate then the petitioner seeking the variance doesn’t own where he would be putting the proposed barn.
Dave Scott stated, I think I’m going to make a motion that we table this until both sides have an opportunity to, I’m a little uncomfortable voting on this not knowing.
Gerald Cartmell stated, either way, either way, if that’s the case.
Gerald Cartmell asked, it’s either 8 or 89, right?
Attorney Little stated, I believe it’s supposed to be 89 degrees that would make sense for the right angle of the property turns on the drawing you have but the deed says, and both deeds, 2 deeds that I have in prestige it says 8 degrees.
Dave Scott stated, the only thing we do have a, a survey here from a registered surveyor that describes it also.
Attorney Little stated, that survey describes it as 89 degrees that’s correct. That’s why I think it is supposed to say 89 degrees.
Charlie Mellon stated, I’ll second it.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay it’s been moved to table this and is there a second?
Gerald Cartmell stated, Charlie seconded it.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, 18th.
Gerald Cartmell stated, and guess who was the idiot who did it to start out with.
Dave Scott stated, but well that’s the thing, I mean Mr. Milligan stamped this thing saying that the way he’s read it then its accurate, his drawings accurate and does that fit the setbacks that they’re asking for?
Director Weaver stated, as it’s drawn, well the request came from that drawing.
Gerald Cartmell stated, from Milligan’s drawing.
Director Weaver stated, I mean, we, we figure out what the request is by what’s submitted to us by that survey. So yes it would coincide.
Dave Scott asked, and you think the drawing may be correct?
Attorney Little stated, I think the drawing is correct for what it’s supposed to be but I don’t think it’s correct as to what was actually deeded or what was described in the deed.
Gerald Cartmell stated, I see.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, we do have a motion and a second, want to continue that, to table this? All in favor say aye.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, all opposed? Okay, probably be best. Be tabled to, you said September 18th Diann?
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, heard you right, okay.
Director Weaver stated, I can provide the information to our attorney, actually he’s already got this information and we can see what he has to say.
Gerald Cartmell asked, do you go back to the original deed from Parrish and Lingenfelter, is that what you do?
Director Weaver stated, I think what our attorney would need to decide is if you guys can actually vote on this the way it’s presented or if the legal description needs to be taken care of prior to any action by you guys. That’s what I would assume.
Dave Scott asked, when they bought that wouldn’t they have had a title search?
Director Weaver stated, I don’t know.
Dave Scott stated, he may want to go back to the title company and make sure.
Gerald Cartmell stated, White County Abstract or whatever he is.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, um hum. Yep, okay it’s been tabled let’s move along.
#2741 Pride Property, LLC; The property is located on Pt Lot 1 in Wayside Lodge Subdivision, located North of Norway Dam off of CR 350 North to Shore Acres Court. Tabled from July 29, 2008.
Request: They are requesting a 939 Sq. Ft. space variance and a 24’ width variance to separate lots.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, and sir I know who you are but who, you are?
Joe Hickman stated, I’m Joe Hickman and I’m representing Pride Properties.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, yes, thank you.
Joe Hickman stated, basically what we request being done, we own 3 parcels out there. We own lot number 1 of Wayside Lodge, lot number 2, and also a triangular shape parcel out by the road that includes a recently vacated road. We want to increase the size of both of the lots by incorporating the parcel into them to make 2 residential lots. Um, it’s only going to affect the center property line of the 2 lots and that would extend through the parcel. It wouldn’t have any impact on either one of our neighbors on either side of us. And that’s basically my case for now.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, all right. Uh, Mr. Little we have a letter here probably ought to be entered correct?
Director Weaver stated, well the one, one of them you had at the last meeting. I don’t know that it was read though because we tabled this right a way.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, do we have a copy of that?
Director Weaver stated, you have a new one as well so you actually have 2.
Attorney Little stated, I don’t see that one in mine.
Joe Hickman asked, is this a letter of support?
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, uh, I haven’t read clear through it. We’ll find out here in a second, Hashu, the name Hashu.
Joe Hickman stated, that’s my neighbor to the west.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, all right. Just go ahead and read them for the record please.
Attorney Little stated, all right, it’s a letter dated July 21, 2008 from Lawrence Hashu, and it bears the signature with an address in Chesterton Indiana addressed to the White Area Plan Commission, Sirs: I am writing in reference to the proposed variance request by Pride properties, LLC for space and width on property located at 3546 N. Shore Acres Ct., Wayside Lodge Addition, Liberty Township, White County Indiana. I own the property adjacent to the above mentioned property. I opposed the granting of this variance. It would make both lots too small to support the existing dwellings and any new proposed building erected there. The parking in this area is very limited. The rest of the subdivision and surrounding buildings are one bedroom vacation/weekend cottages and lack of parking is already a problem for these small dwellings. People park along the roadside and it creates a dangerous situation with traffic and causes many near misses for pedestrians and cars. This proposal is for a larger dwelling and there will not be adequate room for parking and the building available. By granting the variance, it will also cause unsightly crowding of the structures, possible water runoff problems, a devaluation of property values, and stress and hardships among current and future residents. I also believe that all residents with adjoining property have not been properly notified on this variance request by mail. I believe the commission should adhere to the standards set forth in the buildings codes to provide for uniformity and order in this neighborhood. These standards were established for this reason and a variance from them should not be granted. Thank you signed Lawrence Hashu and it’s notarized showing you received it July 22, 2008.
Director Weaver stated, as a result of this letter we did table this at the last meeting, we re-notified and picked up the owner that was missed so all the owners to my knowledge have been notified at this time.
Joe Hickman asked, which owner was that that was missed, Mr. Sparks or Hunt.
Director Weaver stated, across the, I can’t tell you a name, across the road is all I can tell you.
Joe Hickman stated, oh okay, because, well yea. I’d like to address a couple of the oppositions if I may.
Director Weaver stated, that’s the information he sent us.
Attorney Little stated, there is an additional letter from Joe Hickman who is basically offering to be here to answer questions. I don’t see any point to read this letter in here you can say anything that they have for questions.
Joe Hickman stated, no, no.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, so he read this as well?
Director Weaver stated, it hasn’t been read either.
Attorney Little stated, all right, we have another letter. This one is dated August 14, 2008 to White County Area Plan Commission, In reference to real estate: Lot 2 and pt Lot 1 in Wayside Lodge Subdivision in Liberty Township, White, County, IL 3546 N. Shore Acres Ct. I am the property owner of Lot 3, east of above mentioned lot and have been so for plus forty years. I feel by dividing this property you will have two houses on small lots and the house on Lot 1 will by built practically on top of the house to the west. In fact they would be building a house on a lot that is over 1/3 smaller then the code allows. I have viewed the lines staked out for the division and clearly there will be issues regarding congestion and the lack of parking. Also, the existing house will loose access to part of its boat lift as it is over the division line. A member of your board came out on August 2nd and spoke to some of the neighbors, myself included, and he could not figure out where a house could be built. I also understand that there is a person interested in buying the parcel in its entirety. I think that dividing this land and building a house on a small lot on top of the adjoining houses would congest the area and bring down property values. I would hope maybe another member of your board could view this land because of it’s off shape, it is hard to visualize the concerns of the neighbors. Thank you for your attention on this matter. Sincerely, Thomas Anderson & Lynn Anderson, showing you folks received it on August 15, 2008.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, all right, thank you.
Joe Hickman stated, I think Mrs. Anderson has changed her mind because I spoke to her previously and she said she didn’t have a problem with this, obviously her mind has changed and I appreciate that. As far as lot size I’ve listed 11 lots in Wayside Court, their square footage and acreage and also lots to the west, 6 lots to the west the 2 lots that I am proposing are considerably larger then any of the existing lots out there and the way that the lots are constructed they’re on a bend so we’re going to have 8 almost 89’ of frontage on lot number 1, 113’ of frontage on lot number 2. There’s ample area for parking on lot number 2, we’re going to build up a retaining wall with a 20 x 40’ area that would accommodate 3 to 4 cars easily. The other lot there’s absolutely no problem for parking there. There’s a building footprint with all the setback requirements of 1900 square feet. You could build 2 levels, realistically you’re going to have maybe a 1200 square foot, one level building with a walkout basement, it’d be new construction. It’s going to do nothing but add to the value of the property in the area, it’s not going to be a detriment at all. I understand Mr. or my neighbors concerns to the west of me. He is a 37’ wide lot and he has a building or his home is 5’ away from the property line. What I would do, I would guarantee that we would move at least 15’ in from our property line to insure that he would have 20’ setback there and we would adhere to all the other setbacks that are in the variance. We’re not going to affect his view at all if anything we’ve improved his view, there was a garage up about a foot off of the property line on the water side. We took that down, gave him 90% more view of Kean’s Bay. We cut the brush up on the hillside, that’s improved it, um and if anyone says putting in a 300, 400 thousand dollar home in a neighborhood is going to detract from the value of it, I just strongly disagree with that.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, thank you.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, um, anyone here care to address the variance either for or against? Okay. Yes sir, yes, come forward.
Jim Hashu stated, I’m Jim Hashu, I’m on the adjacent property west of there at 3542 N. Shore Acres Court and I’m here to oppose the variance, my brother Lawrence was the letter that was written, um, I can just reiterate the same things that he has in there about parking, this property is being shown now. The lot, 2 property’s for sale, people are parking along that curve on the roadside, there’s not even enough room to park a car in there now. The previous owner was there. The previous owner was there for 12 years. He didn’t throw large parties, he had occasional people over, most of the time the area that they’re proposing to build a house on was used as parking lot for the lot 2 where the house is now and 3 or 4 cars in there pretty much filled that lot, of course there was that small building on there too but we’re opposed to the granting of the variance because of that. The other lots may be smaller in that subdivision but they’re all single bedroom, slab type cottages, vacation cottages and that’s what’s in that area in that subdivision. Thank you.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, just a minute, just a minute please. I’ll give you another opportunity here in a second. Anyone else care to address for or against? Yes sir, come forward, then I’ll come back to you, okay.
Walter Sparks stated, my name is Walter Sparks, I own the property across the road from the property that they’re working on here and I’ve lived there since 1973, there’s been a constant battle and people coming up there at the cottages, looking for a place to park, they come across the road on my property without permission, without contacting me and I’m getting damn sick and tired of it and adding more to it would only increase the problem so I ask you to not grant this variance, it’s not good for the neighborhood. Thank you.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, thank you. Yes ma’am come forward.
Lynn Anderson stated, Lynn Anderson, Lynn Anderson.
Lynn Anderson stated, yes, um, I originally did say, well I asked him about it because I didn’t understand the scanning and that and then when they laid out the lines of where they were actually going to cut the property up, it’s, it just looks like your taking all the property from the one house that’s originally there, they own, I mean they only have a little bit and then they’ve got like a narrow part where there going to have to build a house and it would be more like a long skinny house and they’re really would be no parking to speak of and I just think it would make the are way to congested. It’s open, it’s beautiful right now and I really think by putting another house there it would take away from the property values, I don’t care how much the house cost if it doesn’t look right in the neighborhood. If it’s not built, if they built one on top of the other, I just don’t think it’s going to bring up your property values. Thank you.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay thank you. Anyone else?
Joe Hickman stated, no I’m done, that’s fine.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, okay. Diann do you have anything else?
Director Weaver stated, no I just was going to clarify that and I don’t know how this got missed but your survey does not show the current house, there is a current house on lot 2. The pictures do show that home and I just wanted to make sure you realize that.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, okay. Dave Scott do you have any questions or comments?
Dave Scott asked, now this survey back here that shows the building area is that back on the plan?
Director Weaver stated, well the one I was looking at didn’t have it yea, okay. As far as I’m aware it’s accurate, yes. I might add also the road has been vacated and you do have information from the secretary of the county commissioners stating that they did vacate that.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, they did vacate that?
Director Weaver stated, they did vacate the road.
Gerald Cartmell stated, I think that road originally probably years ago went around the lake before all the stuff was ever built.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, hum.
Director Weaver stated, that’s what it kind of looks like on the plat, yea. I provided you a copy of the original plat of this area also.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, I’ll go back, Shaker do you have any comments or anything to add?
Shaker Hites stated, I don’t.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, back to you Dave do you have anything else?
Dave Scott stated, I don’t.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, Charlie Mellon?
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, Gerald Cartmell? Nothing. No other discussion is the Board ready to vote? Let’s vote.
Director Weaver stated, they have 2 variances before the Board one for each lot so they can be separated.
Attorney Little stated, all right, and it looks like you’ve got them as 2 separate petitions so we’ll make it clear, we’re voting on 1 petition first.
Director Weaver stated, they are 2 separate petitions.
Attorney Little stated, number 2741.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, do you have something before we vote?
Joe Hickman stated, well I don’t know why you don’t vote on both together because if one, if it’s approved and fine if it’s not then you know that’s fine also.

Director Weaver stated, yes and you have a copy of it attached to your staff report.
Perry McWilliams stated, guys all we’re going to do here is from the footprint that you see, the original house that’s there we’re going straight up with a second story. The house currently has 2’ overhangs on it so we’re actually going to be narrowing the second story because we’re not going to have these wide overhangs on there. We’ll end up reducing that so, by a foot and so at least we’re going to be coming in a little bit as far as the vertically and the side setbacks will be improving what’s there right now. The carport that remains where it’s at more or less, we’ll probably rebuild that roof system on that but the house itself is going straight up.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay, okay.
Charlie Mellon stated, nice looking so now, I about got lost finding it.
Perry McWilliams stated, it’s a very nice house, these people bought it I think 4 years ago I’d say and totally, it’s a real nice house but not enough bedrooms.

Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, Diann do you have anything?
Director Weaver stated, no, I don’t.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, anyone here care to speak for or against? Mr. Hites, you have anything?
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, okay, Dave Scott?
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, Charlie?
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, and Gerald?
Gerald Cartmell asked, you say it’s going to be less overhang, right?
Perry McWilliams stated, it really is because it’s on 2’ right now and we’re only going to have a foot up above there.
Dave Scott asked, the house that’s on the survey shows the overhangs?
Perry McWilliams stated, yes, yes.
Perry McWilliams stated, no, I didn’t, I never remember to do that. I’ll bring it in tomorrow.
6. That the request is for an 8’ south side setback variance and an 8’ north side setback variance to add a second story onto the existing home on Lot Number Forty-Two (42) in the Isle of Homes, a subdivision situated in Sections 8, 9, and 16, Township 27 North, Range 3 West in Union Township and Liberty Township, White County, Indiana.
COMMON DESCRIPTION: Property is located North of Norway Dam off of Lake Road 10 E, in the Isle of Homes at 3159 N. Cardinal Drive.

Request: She is requesting an 11’ front setback variance and an 83’ rear setback variance to build a room addition onto the existing home.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, is anyone here representing the Dallinger’s?
Gerald Cartmell asked, Perry you want to take that one over.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, and there isn’t.
Gerald Cartmell stated, it’s supposed to be Criswell.
Perry McWilliams stated, oh Vernie is, oh.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, I knew most of that was the Parrish’s back there but I thought I’ve made assumptions before and was wrong so.
Perry McWilliams asked, was Vernie supposed to represent them?
A member from the audience stated, I guess I can do it.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, anyway with no representation this will be tabled.
Director Weaver stated, tabled until September 18th.
Director Weaver stated, wow that was easy.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, okay, any other business Diann to be brought before the Board?
Director Weaver stated, no I was just going to mention that for those of you that didn’t all ready have your new ordinance, you’ve got your new ordinance laying there.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, that is our personal copy?
Director Weaver stated, that is your personal copy.
Director Weaver stated, Shaker we have provide you in the blue, the blue hard copy, nope the other one. The binder is the new zoning ordinance.
Director Weaver stated, we have provided you a copy of the old zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance. The blue book that you raised up is the Indiana Codes.
Dave Scott asked, what’s going to be the problem? What’s wrong with it?
Director Weaver stated, we changed the front setback in the ag zoning from 60’ to 75, I don’t really remember the reasoning for that but we did it.
Gerald Cartmell stated, I remember talking about it but I don’t remember why now.
Director Weaver stated, I don’t either and then on decks previously they had um, if they were unroofed it could go as close as 4’ to any of the property lines um but now they are specifically addressed so they have to either meet the setback for an accessory structure or primary structure.
Dave Scott stated, and if they’re hooked to the house they then have to meet the setback to the primary structure?
Director Weaver stated, right, but that’s not the way they were handled in the old ordinance so I think we might have to look at those. Those might become a problem so.
Charlie Mellon stated, the City Monday night went ahead and approved it.
Director Weaver stated, right, it’s only effective right now in the county and in the City of Monticello. As far as I know nobody else has approved it.
Dave Scott stated, our guys signed ours Tuesday night.
Director Weaver stated, they did.
Dave Scott stated, I don’t think, maybe I was supposed to bring it and I didn’t, like the other letter I didn’t bring.
Director Weaver asked, was it effective immediately?
Dave Scott stated, yes, well whatever, they just signed whatever you sent them.
Director Weaver stated, well there was an effective date on it.
Director Weaver asked, can you have Michelle give me a call in the morning?
Dave Scott stated, if you don’t hear from her call her.
Director Weaver stated, I’ll call her. That’s really all I have.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, okay now I got the letter, September 3rd.
Director Weaver stated, September 4th.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, 4th is our next meeting.
Director Weaver stated, the meeting that we were supposed to have next week has been postponed to September 4th, the Herald Journal did not, they over looked our ads.
Director Weaver stated, they didn’t get the ads in the paper in time so we could not have it next week.
Director Weaver stated, Shaker we will still need you at that next meeting.
Director Weaver stated, I’ve talked to Dave Stimmel yesterday and he will not be back until our regular September meeting.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, what about Bob is he going to be needed? Don’t know yet?
Director Weaver stated, not as far as I’m aware but I don’t always know this far in advance.
Shaker Hites asked, so when Dave’s coming I don’t need to come, is that correct?
Director Weaver stated, not unless you choose to, you know you don’t have to, you cannot, we can’t have you both voting. We can only have one or the other.
Charlie Mellon stated, next summer we’ll need you.
Shaker Hites stated, might learn a lot.
Charlie Mellon stated, about 6 or 8 meetings.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, but he can’t fill in for me can he?
Director Weaver stated, he can only fill in for Dave Stimmel.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, or anybody else, I guess is what I’m saying.
Gerald Cartmell stated, to bad he can’t be at large.
Director Weaver stated, I know.
Gerald Cartmell stated, maybe we need to talk to the Commissioners about that.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, probably tired of seeing us.
Director Weaver stated, I think it’s state law, we will go ahead and provide you a copy of the packet each time that way if Dave can’t make it at last minute then you will have the information.
Shaker Hites asked, either Dave?
Director Weaver stated, no, just Dave Stimmel.
Gerald Cartmell stated, I tried.
Director Weaver stated, just Dave Stimmel.
Gerald Cartmell stated, I tried to get you some work here.
Director Weaver stated, but we will keep you informed so.
Vice President Jerry Thompson asked, do you have anything? You’re welcome to speak if you do have something.
A member from the audience stated, we just want to speak with Bob when he’s done.
Gerald Cartmell stated, oh there is.
Vice President Jerry Thompson stated, there is.
Gerald Cartmell stated, we need to talk about our attorney.
Gerald Cartmell asked, will it be on the record or not.

Obituary – Kukuk, Herman Eugene « Perry High School Alumni Association, Inc.
Herman E. Kukuk, 82, of Perry passed from this life on Saturday, June 15, 2013 with his family by his side. Services have been entrusted to the care of Palmer Marler Funeral Home and will be held at 2pm on Tuesday, June 18 at Zion Lutheran Church in Perry, OK with interment following at Zion Lutheran Cemetery. Public visitation will be held from 12pm to 8pm on Monday, June 17 and the family will greet friends at the funeral home on Monday from 6pm to 8pm.
Herman Eugene Kukuk was born on April 2, 1931 in Perry, OK to Raymond and Anna (Feken) Kukuk. He grew up and attended school in Perry before enlisting in the United States Air Force. He served his country honorably during the Korean Conflict and was deployed to Germany for several years. During his military career, Herman had the distinct honor of serving as Dwight Eisenhower’s personal driver. It was during his time overseas that Herman became interested in mechanics and heavy equipment operations. Upon his discharge from the USAF, Herman returned to Perry where he met the love of his life, Audrey Schieffer. Herman and Audrey soon became inseparable, and on December 30, 1954 they were married at the Payne County Courthouse in Stillwater, OK.
During this time, Herman began a 10 year career working for the Walt Kukuk Dozer Service in Perry, Red Rock, and Ceres. He spent 4 years working as a grader and dozer operator for Noble County before finally accepting a position with OK Dept of Transportation as a truck driver and dozer operator. During his 20 year career with ODOT, Herman worked on everything from highway installation projects to leveling the ground around the state capital complex. He retired from ODOT in the early 1990’s do to a battle with diabetes.
After retiring, Herman and Audrey got to take several wonderful trips together. Their favorite was a month long road trip from Oklahoma to Oregon and back. Herman still made time to assist his friends with their farming and dozer projects. He enjoyed working in his shop, and was well known for his handcrafted birdfeeders that many Perry residents purchased over the years at benefit auctions. He also loved to rebuilding small engines and spending time in his meticulously well-manicured yard. Herman was a member of the local VFW, American Legion, and the Oklahoma Polka Club. He was also an active member of the Zion Lutheran Church where he volunteered in the soup kitchen. He was a cheerful and friendly man who never met a stranger. He loved to make his friends and family laugh and his smile could light up the room. Herman never complained and had a way of making you know that you were loved and important. He knew the power of a good hug, and was famous for his extremely tight hugs and the well-placed firm pats on the back that were sure to follow.
Herman Kukuk had many wonderful accomplishments in his life, but none of them made him more proud than his loving family. He always made his relationship with his wife and kids his top priority. Herman loved Audrey in a deep and sincere way. His family watched his example as he “took his wedding vows to an extreme level.” When he committed to stick by Audrey during sickness and health, he meant what he vowed. When her condition required 24 hour care, Herman spent many hours by her side playing games and rarely missing an opportunity to share a meal with her. Herman and Audrey’s marriage was truly a great love story. Herman still loved Audrey as much the day she passed away, as he did on that cold December day they were married in 1954. Herman was also a proud and supportive father and grandpa. He always made an effort to be at his grandkids sporting events and he enjoyed teaching them the basics in life, like proper vehicle maintenance and washing techniques.
Herman Kukuk was a dedicated husband, a loving father, a proud grandfather, and a loyal and honest friend. While Herman’s prescence will be missed, his family takes great comfort in knowing that he is in the loving arms of his Savior, has been reunited with his soul mate Audrey, and is undoubtly looking down on them and flashing his signature kokomo peace sign.
Herman was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years, Audrey Kukuk, his parents Raymond and Anna Kukuk, and his four month old great granddaughter Hannah Raye Kukuk. He is survived by seven children, Larry and Donna Kukuk, Marion, KS, Ray and Teresa Kukuk, Perry, OK, Robbie and Dava Kukuk, Perry, OK, Marissa and Gail Makovec, Ramona, KS, Anne Potter, Perry, OK, and Jim Potter, Tony and Jan Kukuk, Perry, OK and Sandra and Jed Kenaston, Orlando, OK. Two brothers, Harold Kukuk of Eucha, OK and Raymond Kukuk and wife Rose, of Enid, OK. 22 grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren with two more on the way, and his furry companion, Mojo.
The family wished to express their appreciation for the wonderful care given by the staff at Perry Green Valley Nursing Home, Perry Memorial Hospital, Companion Hospice, Dr. Michael Hartwig, and the doctors and nurses at the OU Stephenson Cancer Center. They would also like to thank the congregation at Zion Lutheran Church for their prayers and support during Herman’s illness.

I flew as Wingman and Formation Leader and finally I became Commander, the equivalent of a CEO role in a company.
In 2011 I joined Ferrari Spa as an Executive Consultant. I have been working in Formula 1 then HR, finally I became the Corporate Risk Manager until May 2017.
In 2015 I founded my own Company, the MT – Meta Thinking “Thinking above, beyond, behind”, and I am an Advisor, an Executive Coach, and a Global Speaker.
I’ve always been working in international, multicultural contexts dealing with any kind of people: Military, Diplomatics, Statesmen, CEOs, and facing delicate situations … even with Gheddafi!
Dynamic, I am into Corporate Strategy, Innovation and I love Art!
I like new challenges and I always strive to improve myself; thinking disruptive is my prerogative together with understanding and creating my own idea with full respect of everybody else’s one.

Alberto Sogari and Natalia Mazas Aparicio, the winners of the 2017 'Best Student' Award, talk about their experience at the ESMO-ESO Course on Medical Oncology for Medical Students.
I think the course had the unique ability to present many of the key points of the mindset you need to have to approach medical oncology: from the importance of a multidisciplinary team and of adequate tumour staging, to the need of a continuous collaboration with preclinical research to design innovative clinical trials. Among these, however, the one message that inspired me the most was that we are not treating a disease, but a patient, and their expectations and desires are of crucial relevance during treatment decision.
In my opinion, such “principles” are not only of inspiration for the education of a medical student, but also fundamental for a successful career in Oncology.
Medical Oncology is an interesting specialty for several reasons. First of all, curing cancer is one of the challenges of our century and, ultimately, of modern medicine. In the second place, cancer has relevant impacts not only on the sanitary level, but also on the social and personal level, challenging the communication between doctors and patients. Finally, research is essential in this field where a lot remains to be discovered, especially now that new approaches such as immunotherapy and liquid biopsy are being developed.
Before attending the course, I only knew about the congresses organised by ESMO and other societies like ASCO and I thought they were highly specialized meetings, meant for fully-trained doctors only. Now, instead, I feel that there is actually a place for everyone in ESMO, even for students. I was genuinely surprised to learn about the ESMO Young Oncologists group (now I read posts from their Facebook group every day!) and all the other learning opportunities offered by ESMO: I’m so looking forward to exploiting them in my future training as an oncologist.
The existence of professional societies seems to me essential. I consider that they have a great importance in supporting the development of physicians, the diffusion of the knowledge and the improvement of the clinical practice.
I would highly recommend the Course to anyone who is interested in Oncology as a general field, either in medical oncology, or radiotherapy oncology, or research. Thanks to its high-quality lectures and the constant interactions with professors and students in an informal and cosy environment, this Course was able to expand my knowledge in Oncology and widen the horizons of my future career, and this in just five days!

text: As we have discussed on this blog in recent months, the United States Supreme Court will be deciding an important issue affecting the enforceability of arbitration agreements between employers and employees, namely whether a provision in such an agreement that prohibits class claims is an unenforceable violation of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The Supreme Court granted review in three consolidated cases presenting this issue in January 2017 (Ernst & Young LLP v. Morris; Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis; NLRB v. Murphy Oil USA). Those cases have now been set for oral argument on October 2, 2017. This means that a decision likely will be issued by late this year or very early in 2018. Stay tuned for this important development. In the meantime, enforceability of a class waiver provision in an arbitration agreement will continue to vary depending on the forum. California state courts enforce these provisions, but federal courts in California do not because they are bound by Ninth Circuit precedent in Morris v. Ernst & Young, holding that class waiver provisions violate employees' rights under the NLRA to engage in concerted activity for mutual aid and protection. Some courts with pending motions on this issue are staying resolution of the motions pending the Supreme Court's decision.

Mortons neuroma describes a compression injury to a nerve between the metatarsals (long bones that form base of toes-common between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal); it mainly affects middle aged women (Jain and Mannan, 2013).
This injury occurs because of aberrant foot biomechanics and alternatively tight shoes can be a factor.
Currently non operative treatment includes foot-wear modification, orthotics, sclerosing agents and steroids (Jain and Mannan, 2013). Operative management mainly opts for nerve decompression or neurectomy.

After taking the brunt of several local protests, the facility, originally located just south of Bali on Seragan Island, relocated to Sanur on Bali’s eastern coast. Here, the mammals are surrounded by continuous boat traffic, exposed to noise pollution and sewage entering their waters.
Despite being told to stay away, Dolphin Project’s Indonesia team recently took water samples from the area. Not surprising, the one litre of water collected tested high for metals.
There is nothing entertaining about forcing dolphins to interact with paying patrons.
Our team has held dozens of meetings throughout the past few years with various governmental offices, all which have the power to end Indonesia’s abusive treatment of dolphins. From the barbaric traveling circuses to swim-with-dolphins programs, the mammals are routinely exploited so profits can be made.
Dolphin Lodge Bali is in the process of renewing their permits. Please contact the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and ask them to STOP the exploitation of dolphins in Bali and not renew Dolphin Lodge’s permits. As one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the world, Bali needs to set an example and allow dolphins their birthright to swim wild and free.

I am an entrepreneur myself, therefore I understand your mindset and also your special needs.
I know that many vegan entrepreneurs have their mission close to their heart and a lot to say. I also know that many vegan entrepreneurs hate the idea of marketing and selling, especially coming across at being pushy; or to have to put themselves into the spotlight. Most just want to focus on their actual work.
Marketing is not for everybody and you want to focus on your business, on what you do. But look at it this way: your ideal customer, the people you can help, need to know that you exist. You must help them to find your message and to learn about your offer. You do that by using the right channels, to get the message across where your ideal audience is.
It is important that you as the business owner or entrepreneur learn about inbound marketing yourself and define your mission and goals, because only you know what is at the core of your business - and your heart. This is why I offer a coaching program and not just a solution to have everything done for you, because then YOU can easily get lost in the process.
BUT this coaching program teaches you also how to outsource the daily and weekly tasks efficiently, once you have defined and outlined these.
It is long term. Your ideal customer can find you even after years after you have published a piece of content.
I am not painting everything in fluffy pink colors: To craft content takes time and if you outsource it, also money. It is hard work and is an investment of time and money: The cost is about the same as running old fashioned ads and aggressive marketing campaigns (as a rule of thumb, to make clear that is does not come for free - of course it depends on how much work you do yourself and how you scale your marketing efforts). But while classic marketing campaigns disrupt people and only last as long as your are paying for them, a one-off -- your content for your inbound marketing though will be there for a long time and can be found when someone is looking for your exact offer! In the right moment!
A weekly 1-hour coaching call during the 6 weeks of the program. If you prefer to chat, we can do that, too.
Weekly assignments for you: you get in small bites the information you need and templates. You get tasks assigned. You send the completed assignments to me weekly to review (via e-mail). I will then show you what you can improve. We will talk in the coaching sessions about any questions or challenges you have.
You learn step by step how to set up your content strategy for optimized inbound marketing. We will create your marketing and content calendar.
This includes a plan for posting on social media - and what and how to post. I will teach you the best strategy and how to craft ideal posts.
This also includes facebook advertising.
Further options: educational content, your own academy, video, etc.
While I offer you the whole spectrum, the beauty of this coaching program is that you get to decide what you want to focus on and what you want to talk about. You can also ask questions in between calls. At the end of the coaching program you will have your complete set of inbound marketing tools ready.
This is a long term investment, you build the foundation now and reap the benefits for many years to come. Inbound marketing is a long term strategy.
The long term marketing strategy is also extremely important for the success of your business, you don't want to let anyone else decide for you. Define what is important to you now, after the coaching program you have not only your most important messages ready but also the expertise to outsource any continuous tasks efficiently, and have them executed the way YOU like.
The coaching program costs 2400 USD.
This includes weekly coaching calls for six weeks, review of your assignments via e-mail, and all the templates and material I provide you with. You will have access to learning nuggets and learning materials if you wish to learn more about inbound marketing.
You have still too many questions? We can talk about your questions and challenges in a FREE strategy session, which you can book right now.
pay now the full amount and get a 20% discount: 2400 1920 USD only!
pay in 6 weekly installments of 400 USD.
Payment is through a secure and protected payment gateway, not even I will have access to your information!
The internet. Usual office software.
For the calls: we use Skype or if you prefer, also other messengers. Audio only.
An e-mail address. This will remain highy confidential, no data will be ever shared with third parties.
The whole process is strictly confidential of course, and you can also ask ANY questions you have in private.
I have worked in the field of online marketing for almost 20 years now, right from the beginning so to speak. But I worked always on the side of creating content, starting as an online editor with strong marketing ties, then also as a video / multimedia editor and later for QVC as "copy writer interactive content & marketing". I also worked in classic offline PR, later in online PR. This included with time social media marketing, creating cross channel campaigns, blogs, newsletter marketing strategies, and more.
I have worked with large corporations and also with small business owners alike. At one point, I have shared my know-how on the German HubSpot blog.
I have been vegan now for over six years, I have worked and connected with many vegan entrepreneurs since then, I know your challenges, your values, the market. I have also my personal vegan entrepreneur experience from running a vegan herbal online school and blog.
For you it's also important to know: I have crafted many e-learning programs / learning modules, as e-learning and training is my second field of expertise. I am a trained coach and trainer, you will therefore be in good hands.
Start right now, to have your first content online in a week! Begin to invest in the future of your business and you will soon see new growth.

If you see someone walking on the streets of LA this summer, it might be Lisa Salem – an artist who has decided to leave her house in Echo Park and not return until she’s traversed the city. Her site Walk! Los Angeles With Me has the details – starting May 15th, she’s going to be pushing a babystroller with a digital video camera attached, broadcasting videoblog footage on a WalkLA VBlog. Thanks to San Francisco-based media activist Steve Rhodes for the notice.
I discovered that I haven’t had car insurance for the last two weeks. D’oh – that’s what a deep postal-mail antipathy will get you. Surprises.
So I went to re-register for car insurance. My old carrier from Northern California directed me to a Southern California provider. Fine. I gave out all my information to the sales agent, including my mailing address at the University of Southern California.
The initial estimate came down the line. For my particulars, $3000 a year for auto insurance. Holy smokes! I remarked. That’s amazing. The price of living amidst car culture, I wondered?
Then I realized that I should give him my home address, in Culver City. He re-ran the numbers. Same particulars, different zip code – my car insurance estimate went down to $2000.
It blew my mind! USC is in a poor neighborhood, and people driving cars there are paying more. $1000 more in this case! Hard to work your way out from under that.
These Biblical rains have wiped the city clean; yesterday as I was driving to school for the first time after the rain stopped, the sky seemed extra-clear, and the roads seemed extra-sparkly. Like the rain had just taken the pollution away for a little while.
On Tuesday, raw sewage could be seen spilling onto the shoreline near the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Long Beach Convention Center, which was playing host to the popular annual State of the City luncheon. Dr. [Darryl M. Sexton, Long Beach’s health officer] said it was much better to stay indoors during the event.
Is it silly to wonder if the rains will cause some retrofitting of sewage systems, and even moreso, that they might lead to some greater environmental protection for the beaches? I’m relatively new to town here, and I love the urban wisdom I was handed – don’t swim for days after it rains. And then to read about the piles of trash that accumulate there. We’ve adapted our behaviour on the avoidance side; I wonder what it would take for prevention.
I love KDAY – it’s my favorite non-NPR station in LA. It’s revolutionary because it plays old rap, and new rap! It’s like two different genres, KRS-One and Ja Rule, except they have a sort of continuum to them you can pick out.
Still, as charming as old and new mixing is, I’m curious to see more divergent synergies. Is there a radio station in Los Angeles that might play both rap and rock? Besides KCRW; I’m talking about commercial or underground radio, not the smooth sounds of everything becomes eclectic.
Looks like Culver City might get some light rail! The MTA’s Mid-City/Exposition Light Rail Transit Project will run from downtown LA, through USC/Exposition Park, to downtown Culver City (check the map). That is totally totally awesome – public transit I can take from my house to USC, where I’m going to school!
Groundgreaking is in 2006, delayed by noise protests from nearby Cheviot Hills (according to Wikipedia). The light rail line is predicted to be finished by 2010, just 3 years after I am set to graduate.
Checking to my hotel “the Farmer’s Daughter” June 9th at 10:30pm, the front desk is empty. A voice from a group of people nearby asks, Can I help you?
I’m here to check in, I announce, towing my briefcase.
A bearded man in overalls answers back – For the Price is Right? You’re here for the class on the Price is Right?
I notice a circle of 17 people sitting around him – class is in session.
Stunned, if takes a moment for me to process and accept my near future – why, yes, yes I am!
Well take a seat, and I’ll check you in afterwards, he drawls.
Hey gang, King Crab is in full swing.
