JUSTIFICATION: The applicant states that a loss of architectural balance would occur if the addition is placed on the side of the building and that a loss of parking would occur if a building side placement is utilized. He also states that the ability to drive around the building would be restricted if the addition is on the side of the structure. Present Use of the Property: Chiropractic Clinic Proposed Use of the Property: Remain the same with an additional 876 square feet of floor space. STAFF REPORT: A. Engineering Issues There were none reported. B. Staff Analysis The application as filed does not offer substantive reasons for expansion of the use. This is a recently rezoned and developed site which it appears did not receive design consideration for expansions. -There are several options open to this owner including a second story which could be accomplished without variance. Unless and until a justifiable circumstance is offered in support of the request, we cannot recommend a variance. March 19, 1984 Item No. A - Continued C. Staff Recommendation Denial of the request. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: (2-21-84) The applicant, Dr. Carter, was present. There was one objector present, Mr. Dennis Byerly. Mr. Byerly offered objection to an issue disassociated with the application at hand. The objection he offered was in fact a complaint relative to a fence requirement associated with the initial building permit. He offered no specific comment or thoughts on the proposal at hand. The applicant, Mr. Carter, then offered a lengthy discussion of the options that he had been offered by staff recommendation. He discussed with the Board the problems associated with an alternate location of his proposal. These problems generally were a loss of parking spaces and a loss of movement potential within the parking area, specifically in the rear of the building. General discussion of the proposal followed. The discusson resulted in a motion to defer this matter until March 19, 1984, in order to provide Mr. Carter sufficient time to review the options offered and develop further his justification for a variance. The motion passed by a vote of 5 ayes, 0 noes and 4 open positions. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: (3-19-84) The applicant, Dr. Gaylon G. Carter, was not present but was represented by Don Bassett, an attorney. There were no objectors in attendance. Mr. Bassett discussed and reviewed the floor plan and how the proposed expansion was the only feasible way of expanding the building. Mr. Bassett explained that adding a second floor was unrealistic because of Dr. Carter's practice and expanding the building other than to the rear will not work because of the existing interior layout. Mr. Bassett also stated that the expansion would still allow adequate circulation around the building and reduce the parking significantly. A motion was made to approve the variance as filed. The motion passed by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent and 1 open position.
