The Applicant will provide landscaping around the building and will also agree to move the storage building should Grand Estates Drive ever be widened. Member Sager questioned the Applicant’s opposition to relocating the storage building on the lot, and the 30’ by 40’ size of the building. Applicant Monte House stated that both the location and size had been carefully considered. The above stated dimension is needed for storage of the trailer, snow plow, and equipment (currently stored behind the restaurant), and other restaurant supplies. Member Sager requested and received the rules of sight line for traffic. Mr. Van Horn confirmed that the project does not involve any new entrances off of Grand Estates Drive. Mr Joseph questioned the impervious coverage calculation. Mr. Van Horn stated that the calculation had not been completed. Mr. Joseph noted that it does appear that the site is approaching the impervious coverage limit and a variance for impervious coverage may also be required. Chair Baudek questioned moving the placement of the building north and east. The Applicant responded that moving the storage building north and east would solve the setback issue, but wouid not solve the issue of the turning radius required for large delivery trucks (minimuni 45’ radius needed). Those in support: Cherie Pettyjohn stated Mr. House has been a good neighbor and the project Will not change the character of the neighborhood. Members Barker and Newsom agreed that repositioning the storage building may cause problems with arger vehicles. Member Sager stated that there are three alternate locations for repositioning the storage building and he strongly opposes the variance. He concluded that a 55’ or greater turning radius will be achieved and stated^ request is unnecess^ Recognizing the Applicant established the exceptional circumstances and associated exceptional and undue hardship that the Municipal Code requires as a basis for gran tin a a variance (Section 17.36.010 d.l.b), it was moved and seconded (Newsom/Barker) to approve the variance request for Lot 34, Grand Estates Subdivision, 1560 Big ThompLn Zenuo d was passed by a vote of 3 m favor (Barker/Baudek/Newsom) and 1 against (Sager).

Building Official Birchfield reviewed his Staff Report stating that generally, staff concurs with st^dSs fr r^qUeiStmg these variances as outlined in the Statement of Intent. The zoning stand^ds for development in the C-0 district present real problems on these lots in thi! newhln7h0>l1d’ 311(1 S°m^ fJexiblllty would be justified. The combination of the two lots into one new lot jath an amended plat should be a condition of the granting of any variance Mr Birchfield recommended relief due to the orientation of the existing structure and because of the existing setbacks and the size of the amended lot. However, theVe5SuTd no " ildmg Code or other Zoning Code regulations. Mr. Birchfield confirmed that even if a becaTs?ofe[LSdLthCormi^f0I r0of,projection as Proposed would still be denied use of the Building Code. The Applicants’ representative.
