Wooten Address: 10510 Alexander Road Description: Part of the SW 1/4 of Section 10, T -1-S, R -13-W Zoned: "R-3" Single Family District at present. Request for "I-2" zoning has been filed. Variance Requested: From the side yard setback provisions of Section 43/7-104.2 to permit 0 -foot setback on the west property line. JUSTIFICATION The owner states that annexation as "R-2" zoning, the growth of his business and the industrial plan for this area by the City are justification for the variance. Present Use of the Property: Residential and Commercial/Industrial Proposed Use of the Property: Expanded use of the commercial industrial component with expanded work area and storage for forklifts and equipment. STAFF REPORT A. Engineering Issues There are no reported engineering issues associated with this request. The tract is quite large in land area and is isolated from neighboring residences by at least 300 feet. The owner lives in the residence fronting Alexander Road on this tract. Abutting this site are several large parcels which are being held for industrial development and zoned as such. B. Staff Analysis This tract is part of a larger ownership which has been filed for rezoning at the October 25, 1983, Planning Commission meeting. The rezoning will have to be accomplished prior to action of the Board becoming effective. The Planning staff visit to the site October 17, 1983 Item No. 3 - Continued produced little information to support the variance. The property is firmly committed to the present use by a significant structural involvement and aside from cleaning up the site, there is little the public could gain from this request. The proposal will have little or no effect on the adjacent open land area. Conversely no benefit will be received from an industrial building on the property line. C. Staff Recommendation Denial of the request as filed. We do not see justification offered by the owner. There are several options open to the this user other than covering the existing concrete slab, especially since this tract is very large. In the event the Board of Adjustment determines that a variance is appropriate, the staff would point out that a plat dedicating street right-of-way on Alexander Road is required by Board practice. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: The applicant, Mr. Wooten, was present and offered comments in support of his proposal. There were no objectors present. A brief discussion was held resulting in a motion to approve the application as filed. That motion failed for lack of a seconding motion. A motion was then made to deny the application in its entirety. That motion passed by a vote of 5 ayes, 1 no and 2 absent.
