MINUTES

business should include the public hearing the
Planning Commission called for the June 25, 1990,
regular meeting for the purpose of reviewing a
minor subdivision request by Paul Wilson at 115
West 17th Street and 122 West 18th Street.

by Czech.
Czech reviewed the June 19, 1990, staff report
regarding a request by David Tanner for
approval of a parking variance at 755 Westview
Drive.
PARKING VARIANCE-
TANNER - 755
WESTVIEW DRIVE
Harmening noted that public notice had been
sent to adjacent property owners.
Commissioner Dredge moved, commissioner Patzke
made a second, to approve the parking variance
based on the following findings:
Special conditions and circumstances exist
peculiar to the land involved and are not
applicable to other lands in the same district:
The subject property containing a 2,100 square
foot office building with parking stalls for
16 automobiles was built in approximately 1982.
In 1990, the State Highway Department acquired
the south 10 feet of the subject property for the
purpose of constructing a new frontage road. The
remaining property is not large enough to
accommodate 16 parking stalls within the setbacks
required by city ordinance. In order to maximize
the number of parking stalls and fit them all
within the property not taken by the State, it will
be necessary to move the parking perimeter closer
to the property line on the south and west. The
alternative would be to provide significantly fewer
parking stalls, probably 10 all together, which
would not be adequate for off-street parking for
the commercial use of the present building;
Be
Compliance with city code setback requirements and
parking requirements cannot be accomplished according
to the engineering and planning available to applicant.
Literal interpretation of the code would deprive
applicant of the rights commonly enjoyed by other
properties in the same district;
Ce
The applicant has not contributed to the creation of the
conditions and circumstances in that the State Highway
Department for public purposes;
D. No special privilege is sought, and the granting of the
variance requested will not confer the same;
and subject to the following conditions:
The parking lot conform with the submitted
site plan (see ATTACHMENT "A" on file).
The applicant submit a landscaping plan to
be approved by the City Planner.
Upon vote taken, Ayes, 5; Nayes, 0.
