A variance is requested from the
area regulations of Section 36-301
to permit construction of a canopy
with a reduced front yard setback.
The proposed canopy is to be
located over the front entrance to
provide a covered drop-off area.
Due to the location of the existing
building, the canopy will have a
reduced setback.

Lewis and 13th Street have 50 foot platted rights-of-way.
Dedicate 5 feet of right-of-way to bring Lewis Street and
13th Street rights-of-way to commercial street right -of --way
standards. Also, the intersection of 13th and Lewis should
have a 20 foot radial dedication.
12th Street is a minor arterial with 70 feet of right-of-way
required. Present right-of-way is 30 feet from centerline.
Dedicate 5 feet of right-of-way with the 20 foot radial
dedication at the intersection with Lewis Street.
Abigail Street is closed. However, the apron was never
removed. Remove apron and replace curb and install
connecting sidewalk on 12th Street. The turn radius at the
intersection of 13th and Lewis needs improving. Current
radius is less than standard of 25 feet.
When additions involve increase of impervious areas greater
than 500 square feet, stormwater detention analysis is

required. Sidewalks shall be repaired where tripping areas
exists and handicap ramps shall be constructed in all
locations per current city standards and per ordinance.
B. Staff Anal i
Christ Temple Pentecostal Church, located at 1200 Lewis
Street, proposes to construct a canopy extending out from
the front entrance of the church building. The proposed 30
foot by 30 foot canopy will cover an existing paved area
which serves as the walk way from the parking lot into the
church as well as an adjacent parking space reserved for the
pastor. The church property is zoned C-3 which requires a
front yard setback from Lewis Street of 25 feet. Due to the
angle of the church entrance in relationship to the street,
the proposed canopy will come to a point approximately 15
feet from the Lewis Street property line. The intrusion
involves a corner of the proposed structure. The corner of
the canopy will be located approximately 25 feet from the
curb of Lewis Street.
The proposed canopy will have no effect on either nearby
properties or Lewis Street. Staff is supportive of the
request.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested front yard
setback variance subject to compliance with the City
Engineer's Comments.

determined that the comments regarding the former Abigal Street
right-of-way were unrelated to this variance issue. Ms. Dawson
also stated that there was currently an ordinance in place which
required the applicant to repair the sidewalks and such a
condition did not need to be tied to the variance.
A motion was then made to approve the requested front yard
setback variance subject to compliance with the City Engineer's
Comments regarding the construction of handicap ramps and
stormwater detention. The motion was approved by a vote of
9 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent.
