PLANNING Commission August 5, 19.82 Variance The Planner also stated that if the Planning Commission gave someone Amendments the indication of approval without information, the Planning Commission (Cont.) could mislead someone. The Planner also stated that delays also cost people money. County Road C Properties The Planner suggested that the Planning Commission waits until it reviewsthe formal draft from the City Attorney. Mrs. Scalze commented that she felt the Planning Commission should review variance requests. Mr. LeMay agreed, but did not think all the filing fees were necessary. The Planner informed the Commission that the next item in the the agenda deals with the Stenger property located on County Road C and Park Avenue. Several years ago Mr. Stenger got approval to build two office buildings. In 1977 one of the buildings was sold on a contract for deed along with a certain amount of the land. This left an L- shaped piece of property. Then in 1978 Mr. Stenger requested and received approval for a conditional use permit for construction of two mini - storage buildings. At the time a site plan showed the buildings to be located on a lot 100 feet wide. This is not the case. The Planner showed the Commission an outline of the layout of the property Mr. Stenger is trying to achieve. Mr. Stenger is requesting a property division of the property on which sits the remaining office building and the mini - storage buildings. The Planner pointed out that there are two problems. There is a problem with the survey submitted as the legal description splits the property on which the mini - storage buildings sit in half. Mr. Stenger has indicated that he will correct this so that the mini- storage buildings will be sitting on one piece of property. The second problem is that when Mr. Stenger sold the first office building he intended to split the property in such a way as he would have 100 feet of frontage for the mini - storage buildings. Mr. Stenger was assuming that all of Hanna Street, which the City vacated, went to him. He assumed this as the property originally came from his property. However, when the street was vacated Hanna was split between the adjacent properties. As a result Mr. Stenger only has 85 feet of road frontage for the mini- storage buildings. City Code requires 100 feet. The Planner stated that he would rather see the variance granted than to leave all the buildings in question on one piece of property. The Planner also informed the Commission that Mr. Stenger indicated to him that he has tried to acquire the additional 15 feet of property, but cannot do so. Page -5-
