Ae stated in order to construct the parking lot and garage on the R-1 property, three variances are requested as follows: (1) to reduce the required setback for a planting strip from 15 to 5 feet on the side yard of -10- 0 ��. 1�. ��i�1i1►. � :. r ,� • the property zoned 1�3; (2) to reduce the required setback for a planting strip fram 10 to 5 feet on the rear and side yards; and (3) to reduce the front yard setback from 35 to 25.6 feet on Lots 78 and 79, Block A, Riverview Heic�ts, to allow R-1 zoning to be used for a parking lot and garage. . l+lr. Flora stated the hardship was because af the linear shape of the lots and parking had to be on one side. Mr. Flora stated the biggest concern was the traffic on the street and residents in the area expressed these concerns at the Appeals Commission meeting. ' He stated the Appeals Ca�mission did recommend approval of the variances with several stipulations. Mr. Flora stated the Appeals Carmission also recam�ended Council consider no parking along the north side of the 400 block of Hugo in order to accomnodate parking. Councilman,Fitz�trick stated Hugo Street is an exit onto East River Road and the street is very narrow. He stated he didn't knaa if the residents in the area thought that no parking on the north side of the street would take care of the problen. � Mr. Frank Hegner, 450 Hugo Street, stated seven parking stalls an seven garages would be provided in this taanhouse c�nplex and f elt this wouldn't be sufficient. He felt you had to t�ke into consideration that each unit may have two, three or four persons living in them and each may have a vehicle and that alone would create a shortage without even taking into oonsideraton visitor parking. He stated if parking was allowed on both sides of the street here wouldn't be room for energency vehicles to get through. Mr. Hegner stated the residents know something will go in on this parcel, however, they felt it was too crowded with seven �mits and that it would be suitable for a four plex or two single f�nily units. He felt the seven �it density Mras too high for this parcel of property. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated possibly a six unit would meet all the oode requirements without requiring the variances. Mr. Hegner stated this was suggested to the petitioner, but he stated it would be this seven unit or else he would push for a ten �it. Co�ciln�an Fitzpatrick stated he woulc] agree it is going to be crawded and there will be a parking problen. Ae stated it probably would be better to have six units, but felt with the �animous recommendation of the Appeals Co�mission he was prepared to concur with their recamnenc7ations.

Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, asked if the Council was prepared to act on the reca�unendation of the Appeals Co�miission for no parking on Hugo Street. Mayor Nee asked if they could reduce the setback to provide additional parking in the front. Mr. Qureshi stated the setback is 35 feet and the roadway is 26 feet. He stated if there is a concern, the owner should probably provide an additional 12 feet easement to the north which would then provide for a 23 foot setback. He felt the road should then be improved fram the driveway to East River Road.
