This resolut9on appears in Reso1ution fiook No. 7, Page 747. Mayor Planson reported that the Plann9ng Commission has requested that when the City's zoning maps are updated due to some recent rezonings, that they be g9ven copies of the revised maps. Kath Kath Bros. has requested a side yard and/or front yard set back var9ance 6ros. for purposes of constructing an accessory building on their property fior Set Back truck storage. Variance Request Mayor Flanson opened the publ9c hearing that was cal1ed to review this request. 7he City Planner submitted to the Council an amendment to the Ci~y's ordinance that would allow a building to be set back at the average of its surrounding bu~ldings. The Planner stated that most cities have such a provision in their ordinance, and it was just an oversite that the City's ordinance does not provide this. The Planner also informed the Council that technica7ly the Ka~h request for a variance does not meet the requirements for a variance. Only the adopt9on of the proposed amendment would allow Kath Bros. to build their building where they are proposing. Councilman Fahey stated that he feels the Council should adont the amendment as there is good use for it in certain settings, and it makes sense in the case of Kath Bros. The Planner stated that the City would have to hold a public he~ring on the proposed amendment before it could be adopCed. Mayor Hanson suggested that the phrase "or S1CIE yard" be added to the first sentence ofi paragraph D of the amendment. Councilman Fahey pointed out that the Kath Rros. property actually fronts on Woocflyn Flvenue. Mr. Nielson stated tha~ Mayor Flanson's suggestion cou1d be added to the amendment prior to the public hearing on the proposed amendment. Nie7son a1so suggested that the City could grant Kath Bros, the variance tonight pending adoption of the ordinance amendment. Fahey suggested that the public hearing be conducted tonight on the variance, but that action be tabled and the Council could then take action on both the Kath request and the amendment at the same time. Mr. Sedlow, a resident of Che area, asked what type of building Kath Bros. was proposing to build. Mr. Kath indicated that it would be a meta1 building similar to the one Kath presently occupies.
