Lot 1 and the North 12 feet of Lot 2
Block 1, Kimball's South Park Addition
11C-3" General Commercial

of Section 7-103.3/D.2 to permit a new
addition with a 4 -foot setback
Location of existing building and provide adequate parking.

STAFF REPORT
A. Engineering Issues
None reported.
B. Staff Analysis
The request is to permit a 4 -foot side yard on the
south side of the property. Because the lot to the
south is used for a residence, the Zoning Ordinance
requires a 15 -foot side yard. If the property to the
south was a nonresidential use, then no setback would
be necessary. In June 1982, the Board of Adjustment
approved a similar variance for a building that is
identified as the existing structure on the
accompanying sketch. It appears that the 4 -foot
side yard has had little impact on the residential use
to the south. The proposed addition/structure will
replace a smaller building so the amount of
encroachment will increase but that should not create
any problems. Staff feels that the owner has provided
adequate justification and supports the variance with
the condition that the City's traffic engineer approve
the driveways and access. The lot has three driveways
off two streets and one from the alley and this could
possibly cause a traffic flow problem if not properly
controlled.
August 15, 1985
Item No. A - Continued
C. Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the variance subject to
the traffic engineer approving the driveways and
access.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
Staff informed the Board of Adjustment that the item needed
to be deferred because the owner failed to notify the
required property owners. A motion was made to defer the
request to the August 19, 1985, meeting. The motion passed
by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: (8-19-85)

motion was made to approve the application as recommended by
the staff. The motion passed by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 noes
and 1 absent.
