APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 30, 1988 PAGE 3
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Mr. Donald Dickison, the petitioner, is requesting the City to grant
several variances which would allow him to establish an air conditioner/
heating/electrical contract business at 5973 - 3rd Street N.E. Variances
must be granted because the building has not been used for one year,
therefore, has lost legal non -conforming status.
This property is located in a special district, S-1, Hyde Park Neighbor-
hood, which the City considers comparable to R-1, Single Family dwelling
district. A commercial use in this district is allowed as a special use
and will be regulated by the C-1, Local business district requirements.
While evaluating the petitioner's variance requests, consideration should be
given to the existing status of the property. Four of the five requests are
either existing or necessary. The variance regarding a reduction of the
five foot hard surface setback from the main building to zero feet is not
necessary. Due to the petitioner's parking lot improvements, the five foot
hard surface setback could be installed and the parking lot would still comply
to the City Code.
If approved, staff recommends the following stipulations:
1. Variance approval contingent upon approval of special use permit.
2. A portion of Lot 29, approximately 1,604 square feet, will be leased from
the City for $1.00 per year as long as the business is in operation at
this site.
3. Landscaping to be installed as per plan by September 1, 1989.
4. A performance bond or letter of credit for 3% of the construction value
be given to the City prior to issuance of the building permit.
5. Parking demand shall not exceed ten spaces unless additional spaces are
provided.
6. Install six inch concrete curbing around the entire perimeter of the
parking lot including driveway opening by September 1, 1989.
7. Parking lot to be sealcoated and striped, ten spaces, by September 1, 1989.
8. Bollards are to be removed upon installation of landscaping.
9. Petitioner to maintain site immediately by cutting grass and eliminating
weeds.
APPEALS COMMISSION RING, AUGUST 30, 1988 0 PAGE 4
Mr. Clark showed the location of the property on the Location Map and Zoning
Map being to the southeast of the intersection of 3rd Street and 60th Avenue. `
A slip -off comes off University Avenue -to 60th Avenue and feeds onto 3rd Street.
The Site Plan shows the parking lot, landscaping and curbing. The parking lot
would have 9 parking stalls rather than 10, as stated in the Staff Report. The
variance is for a sideyard setback on the south from 15 feet to 5 feet; reduce
rear yard setback from 25 feet to 7 feet; reduce parking lot setback from a
public right-of-way in two locations - one from 20 feet to 10 feet and the
other 20 feet to 7 feet; the parking lot would extend 5 feet into the next lot;
and to reduce the setback of driveways and parking areas from buildings from
5 feet to 0 feet. Staff met with the petitioner to discuss the variances.
Staff recommends approval of the variances with the exception of the setback
of 5 feet to 0 from the building. This 5 feet is recommended as a buffer so
that traffic does not hit the building. Petitioner would prefer not to stay
5 feet away from the building due to the cost.
The stipulations regarding landscape and irrigation are recommended for
completion by September 1989. The petitioner is familiar with the plan but is
not sure he would get completed by September 1989. The petitioner plans to
open a commercial shop with little retail sales of materialsfor an air conditioning,
heating and electrical contracting business. Staff would pick up supplies and
then go to another location to install. The area should not get a lot of
commercial traffic other than in the morning and evening. Mr. Clark indicated
there has been discussion of closing off the slip -off from University. The
petitioner has no problem if this should be done. The petitioner understands
that, if this is done, he would be provided an opportunity to acquire the two
lots that would become available for future development. The Planning Commission
will have a special hearing on this variance request on September 14. Their
recommendation will go before the City'Council on September 26.
Dr. Vos asked the reasons for a 5 foot setback from the building.
Mr. Clark stated this buffer is to prevent traffic from coming in contact with
the building. This space also provides an area for a walkway and snow storage.
Mr. Kuechle noted that most of the property would need to be curbed.
Mr. Clark agreed that there is a lot of curb for a small lot.
Mr. Messler suggested the elimination of the curb on the entire east side along
the alley. The curb blocks off use for the alley and would eliminate part of the
curbing, from a practical standpoint.
Mr. Dickison stated the curb along the alley was not a problem. There is enough
room for the trucks with the plan as it is.
Dr. Vos asked if the City had received any calls from neighbors.
Mr. Clark indicated he had received no calls.
Mr. Messler requested consideration to not require irrigation. The bulk of
the landscaping will be on City property. The petitioner is being asked to
spend $3,000-$4,000 to sprinkle one bush which seems to be more than what is
required.
PEALS COMMISSION OETING, AUGUST 30, 1988 0
Ms. Savage asked if the irrigation had been added as a stipulation.
PAGE 5
Mr. Clark stated that irrigation should be included because the City requires
irrigation on new construction and buildings being remodeled. The seller has
agreed to cover some of the outside costs. It was his understanding that the
petitioner will put it in but may not get the installation done by Sept. 1989.
3SS
Mr. Dickison stated he agreed with the curbing. The landscape and irrigation
is to be done in one year. His suggestion is to blacktop and curb, but he would
like two to three years to get the landscaping done. Mr. Dickison also
requested the bond requirements be waived.
Mr. Messler indicated the property is being purchased on a contract for deed.
The seller has reduced the price to allow for improvements. The improvements
are equal to 25% of the purchase price.
Dr. Vos stated that a lot of the landscaping being requested is in antici-
pation of the slip -off. He felt there was no advantage to put in landscaping
if the decision regarding the slip -off will not be implemented until later.
Mr. Kuechle did not feel the cost for irrigation and landscaping would be a
major cost item.
Mr. Dickison stated the sprinkling system would cost a minimum of $2,000. His
desire is to make the appearance presentable to the area.. He is willing to do
what is requested but is asking for three years to complete the landscaping
and irrigation. The landscaping would depend on the slip -off and the future
decision regarding same. The only reason for the bushes is to prevent lights
from shining into houses at night, and this is a daytime business.
Ms. Savage asked what would be done to the building and when business would
commence at this site.
Mr. Dickison stated the exterior would be refaced and painted. The building
is in good shape and improvement would be cosmetic. He plans to put in the
curbing this fall, if time allows; however, he would do the parking lot
differently if there was no slip -off.
Mr. Clark stated that University Avenue improvements would be made next year
and a decision on the slip -off should be made in the spring. The stipulations
give the petitioner until the following fall which should allow for changes.
If the slip -off is approved, the request with changes can be re-submitted,should
circumstances change.
Mr. Clark indicated that staff is recommending approval of all variances
with the exception of the 5 foot to 0 foot variance along the north edge of
the building, the only exception being the short wall along the east and
north where trucks will be loading. The City is trying to get the property
up to code. The commission can make a recommendation if they wish regarding
the future decision affecting the slip -off.
Dr. Vos asked about the performance bond or letter of credit.
Mr. Clark stated this is a City policy. On a new building, 3% is usually
spent on a performance bond. This is included in the stipulations to inform
the petitioner.
APPEALS COMMISSION &ING, AUGUST 30, 1988 i PAGE 6
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE -CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE,DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:12 P.M.
Dr. Vos indicated he did not wish to put the petitioner in a position of a
hardship due to the question of the slip -off. He agreed with the requirement
of a 5 foot setback along the building, and questioned the necessity of the
curb along the alley.
Mr. Clark indicated the curb delineates the parking from the alley and detains
traffic.
Mr. Kuechle agreed with the staff recommendations. The cost for landscaping
amounts to approximately 2% of the building cost. If the other lots become
available, this could change the plan. He did not feel the overall cost was
severe. The stipulation sets the date for September 1989. By the time the
proposal goes before the City Council, it will be October. It may be necessary
to wait until next spring before doing work. The money for the improvements
could be saved until next year at which time a decision regarding the slip -off
should be made.
Mr. Clark recommended not doing the work this fall.
Dr. Vos indicated that the plan is under present circumstances which could
change by next year and then the petitioner would again have to go through
the process.
Mr. Clark indicated that in this neighborhood parking lots for commercial use
and apartment buildings are allowed with a special use permit. If'the parking
lot configuration would change, the petitioner would need to go to the Planning
Commission for a special use permit for an expanded or revised parking plan.
Ms. Savage basically agreed with the staff recommendations. The area is
residential and the aesthetic considerations are important. The stipulations
leave flexibility to allow the petitioner time to find out what is happening
with the property.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Dr. Vos, to recommend to the City Council
