STAFF REPORT:
A. Engineering Issues
None reported.
B. Staff Analysis
The issue before the Board is to grant temporary
waivers of the screening and paving requirements of the
ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance requires an opaque
screening fence be constructed along any side or rear
property line that abuts land zoned for residential
purposes which in this situation would be the north,
south and west sides. Screening is not required along
the entirety of those property lines because the use
under consideration only occupies the western one-half
of the site. On the other one-half there is another
nonresidential use. In addition to the screening
requirements, a portion of the property must also be
paved as per the "C-4" district development criteria.
After the site was cleared in late summer, the

Item No. 2 - Continued
applicant realized that a drainage problem existed and
would have to be addressed prior to making all of the
required improvements. To correct the problem, a curb
needs to be installed and completed before the fence
can be erected. To date, approximately 40 percent of
the work has been finished. In the area that the
paving is required, some additional site work is
necessary before it can be surfaced. Due to the nature
of the request and the location, staff supports a
temporary waiver of the two ordinance requirements.
C. Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the variances for a period
of nine months.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors. A
motion was made to approve the requested variances for a
period of nine months from the date of approval,
December 15, 1986. The motion passed by a vote of 5 ayes,
0 noes and 4 absent.
