ISSUES ANALYSIS In May of 1988, Mr. Fleischhacker had applied for and was approved for a variance to reconstruct a loading dock (for the 3202 Rice Street property) removed because of the expansion of Rice Street. This variance request was granted based on the condition that the property would be cleaned up. According to an inspection conducted in May of 1988 by the City Building Official, the property had become a refuge area for parked vehicles, trailers and various other debris. Our office conducted an inspection to determine current site conditions. The site inspection was conducted on 7 June 1989 (please refer to attached site photos). The property continues to be a refuge for debris and parked vehicles. The 25 May 1988 City Council meeting minutes regarding this matter state that Mr. Fleischhacker had agreed to clean up his property within 60 days in lieu of posting a bond at the time the building permit was issued. The bond was not required and clean up was never accomplished. In addition to the clean up issue, a Council member questioned if the property was being filled due to the increased size of the property noted in aerial photos taken in 1981 and 1983. Mr. Fleischhacker stated that the fill was excess dirt from the street widening. Fill still remains on the property and should be addressed along with the clean up issue prior to subdivision approval. Zoning. The property is currently zoned B -3, General Business District. The two parcels created after the lot split would remain B -3. All uses on the site conform to the Ordinance with the exception of the outdoor storage use. Outdoor storage is permitted as a conditional use provided the area is fenced and screened from view and the storage area is grassed or surfaced. Page 59
