From the district restrictions of Section 7-103/c.4 to permit a temporary waiver of the screening requirements. 2. From the development criteria provisions of Section 7-103.4/b.2 to permit a temporary waiver of the paving requirements. Justification: Additional time is needed to correct drainage and water problems. Present Use of Property: Commercial Proposed Use of Property: Commercial 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 December 15, 1986 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.
