B File No.• Owner: Address: Description: Zoned: Variance Requested: Justification: Z-6517 Industrial Properties 4300 West 65th Street Long Legal I-2 An 18 month deferral is requested from the paving requirements of Section 36-508. Applicant's Statement: The area in question, was overrun with grass, honeysuckle, weeds, and other types of debris, which protruded up through the asphalt that originally covered the area. This was the last section to be cleaned up by our faculty. Because the growth protruded through the asphalt, it was necessary to;.remove the growth. The nature of the soil has required some more gravel to be deposited on the site. The whole area is still in the process of being improved. The original parking lot had a very thin layer of asphalt over the area. At some point the parking lot was modified to accommodate a bicycle test track. The thin layer of asphalt allowed water to seep into the soil underneath. The parking lot and test track crumbled as the winters allowed water to freeze and thaw. The soil is now very soft and spongy, and will require some time for it to dry out. Gravel has been added to the most troublesome spots. This area is now used as a drop yard for empty trailers.

The property was formerly home to the AMF Bicycle Manufacturing plant. The property has been vacant for many years and had fallen into disrepair. Under the new owners, many improvements have been made to the site. A relatively small area at the southeast corner of the property was previously used as a bicycle test track. The area was grown over and the asphalt track was broken up by weather. That area has been cleaned up and gravel put in place. The area is now being used for parking empty trailers. It will eventually be paved and landscaped to meet city codes. The applicant is requesting an 18 month deferral of the paving requirement. Staff believes the request to be reasonable. The entire 24± acre tract sat abandoned and overgrown for many years. Recent improvements have gone a long way to eliminating a true eyesore.
