ITEM No. I - Z-1475
Applicant: Union Building Corporation
Location: 1400 Cantrell
description: Lot 84, Riverside Commercial Park
Classification: "F" Commercial
Variahge: Requesting a variance from the
rear yard provisions of Sec. 43--15
to permit construction of a new
building (Zoning Ord. Sec. 13)
This waiver was denied at the August 19 meeting in that this is
an undeveloped commercial area and that the Board might set a
precedent by allowing a waiver of rear yard in that all other
property owners could conceivably request the same waiver and
the area would develop with access only from the street side to
the various buildings. Ray Branton was present. Mr. Lyons made
6 motion that the case be reconsidered. Mr. Meeks seconded the
Motion; The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Branton stated he
planned the building the way he thought was right. He wants the
Board to look at the whole.drawing and consider it. He felt that
this is a unique property situation. He stated he has an amendment
to theBill of Assurance signed by 60% of the property owners and wil
file this if this waiver is granted. He stated this amendment
pertai.ss only to Lot 8. The Housing Authority has approved what
he has±asked for. He had a letter from the Housing Authority.
Out of -the total of six property owners only two have not signed
the waf.ver of the Bill of Assurance and could not be reached.
was stated that consideration should be given to the balance 'f t
the area as well as to th i,s lot. This would set a precedent 'if
this is allowed. Mr. Meeks made a motion that this waiver be
granted with the la out as submitted provided that nothing is
built in the six (6� foot area between the easement and the
back of the building other than I-andscaping. Mr. Lyons seconded
