exception provided for by Ordinance, no justification is

STAFF REPORT
A. Engineering Issues
Drainage plans must be approved by the City Engineer,
also landscape requirements and screening. Boundary
street improvements on both Geyer Springs and West 57th
Street as well as sidewalks are required. This should
be coordinated with the City Engineer with respect to
the Geyer Springs plans.
B. Staff Analvsis
The proposal at hand presents a properly thought out
plan for use of this site. It adequately serves the
public needs on the abutting streets. The only
comments we have are concerning a request for a
screening and landscape variance. The Board of
Adjustment does not deal with these matters as that is
an area of involvement for the Public Works Department
and the Landscape Ordinance. Therefore, we did not
list the request as stated in the application on the
agenda due to a requirement that the City Beautiful
Commission review such exceptions or variances. Our
only other comment is that a plat be required for
purposes of dedication of street right-of-way on the
abutting public thoroughfares.
