The height of the tower is reasonable, particularly when compared to the height of the main building. The tower's total height, including the handrail, is 10'. The zoning code allows buildings to be built as high as 35'; The tower will not impact adjacent residential properties by blocking the view of nearby streets of properties. The tower will be set back approximately 75' from the Hollywood Court properties. The zoning code requires only a 40' setback when a commercial parcel abuts residential property; The neutral color of the tower will blend with the existing office building; and The tower, whether in its present design or another, must be built to conform with state regulations. Motion seconded by Commissioner Brace and passed unanimously. REPORT ON THE PARKING SITUATION ON TATUM STREET Administrator Hoyt briefed the commission on a request from Mr. Fedir Chrun of 1794 Tatum Street. Mr. Chrun has requested that the planning commission and city council study the parking situation on Tatum Street. Mr. Chrun's letter of request states that since part of Tatum Street is not regulated with respect to parking, individuals are parking their cars there all day long. Mr. Chrun claims that this narrows the amount of space for cars driving down the street. Also, because Tatum Street has no sidewalks, people walking on the street must be very careful when walking in the street, especially when the speed limit of 30 miles per hour is being ignored. Mr. Chrun wrote that he would like to recommend that parking be limited to two hours per day everywhere on Tatum with parking permits issued to residents. Planner Asleson described the situation on Tatum Street as observed by city staff. An average of eleven cars are using Tatum Street as a long -term, daytime parking arrangement each day. A search of license plate numbers shows that the overwhelming majority of the parkers are non -Tatum Street residents. The parkers are primarily using the non restricted portions of Tatum rather than the two -hour zones. Administrator Hoyt outlined several alternatives that the commission could eventually consider for Tatum and /or Lindig Streets: Determine that the situation does not warrant further restrictions. Expand the daytime, two hour parking restrictions to both sides of Tatum and /or Lindig Streets.
