STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The issue here is the location of an accessory structure.
The existing mobile home residence of the applicant is a
legitimately constituted nonconforming structure. The
applicant has stated that the second mobile home was
purchased for use as storage and workshop space clearly as
an accessory to the principle structure. The hardship
associated with the requested location of the accessory
structure deals with periodic flooding and general wetness
in the normal area of the rear yard designated for accessory
structures.
Staff recommends approval of the request with the condition
that the kitchen and bath facilities be dismantled to
preclude possible dwelling use of the accessory structure.

Present Use of
Property: Church
Proposed Use
of Property: Church
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The First Pentecostal Church has suffered losses in excess
of $4,000 due to theft and vandalism over the past several
months. Installation of an alarm system has curtailed some
of the loss. However, several recent problems have
indicated that stronger steps must be taken. The requested
permit will allow location of a mobile home to provide a
residence for a full-time security person.
Staff recommends approval.

I, Roll Call and Finding of a Quorum
II. Approval of the Minutes of the Previous Meeting
August 20, 1979
Item No. 1 - Z -3365-A
Owner: Don and Mary Scott
Address: 422 Martin Street
Description: Lot 6, Block 6, C.H. Taylor Addition
Zoned: "C" Two Family
Variance: Request variance from Section 43-12 to
permit encroachment into a required
yard.
Present Use of
Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use
of Property: Two Family Residential
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This property was recently the subject of a rezoning action
to permit the construction of the proposed duplex. Staff
supported the zoning action with the knowledge that the
requested variance would be required. Staff recommends
approval of the required variance calling for a 15 foot rear
yard reduction and a three foot side yard reduction.

Item No. 2 - Z-3387
Owner:
Address:
Description:
Bob Thomas
7323 Indiana Street
Lots 11 and 12, Block 6,
Forest Park Highlands
Zoned: "C" Two Family
Variance: Request variance from Section 43-21-(J)
to permit a wall in excess of the
permitted height.
Present Use of
Property: Duplex (under construction)
Proposed Use
of Property: Duplex
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
At issue here is a retaining wall located on the north and
east property lines of this parcel. The wall is designed to
permit leveling of the yard abutting Indiana Street.
However, the wall as constructed produces a difficult sight
problem for vehicles attempting to leave the driveway just
east of the wall on a neighboring property.
The only solution staff sees for resolving the sight problem
while allowing for the leveling work intended by the
applicant is to change the configuration of the wall to
angle across the corner at something approaching 451 from
the proposed driveway and the wall as it extends along the
east property line thereby creating a setback of the east
wall of some 12 to 15 feet. Staff recommends that this
course of action be followed.
August 20, 1979
Item No. 3 - Z-3379
Owner: Jack and JoAnn Files
Address: 916-924 Commerce Street
Description: Lots 7, 8 and 9, Block 59
Original City
Zoned: "HR" High Density Residential
Variance: Request permission under the provisions
of Section 43-35 (2) to establish a
professional office in the "HR"
District.
Present Use of
Property: Apartments
Proposed Use
of Property: Professional Office/Apartments
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant proposes to establish a professional office on
the first floor of the structure and retain the apartment
uses with the remainder of the building. The only problem
staff sees in the request is one common to this entire of
the City, and that is parking.
There seems to be a shortage of adequate parking facilities,
and staff feels this issue must be addressed in conjunction
with the conditional use permit. Staff would not be opposed
to a limited waiver of some of the required parking for this
particular site.
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit
conditioned upon resolution of the parking issue.

Lot 1, Block 4, Phase I,
Parkwood Addition
"A" One Family
Request permission under the provisions
of Section 43-22 (4) (d) to permit
establishment of a day-care facility in
a residential district.
Residential/Baby-sitting Service
Day -Care Center
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
On the premises, there is an existing day-care type
facility. The requested variance would permit the addition
of several children to the existing service. No particular
physical changes in the property are anticipated.
The proposed use is, in the staff's opinion, not compatible
with the surrounding land uses, all of which are single
family residential. Also, the requested use would be a
direct violation of the Parkwood Addition Bill of
Assurances.
Staff recommends denial.
