M/S/P, Ptacek/Roth to recommend approval of a zoning variance to permit structure encroachment into the OHW setback of a Tributary Stream on Outlot C, Eagle Point Business Park per plans staff dated July 19, 2006 based on the following Findings: 1. The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance requested. 2. The variance requested results from a circumstance unique to this property. The brief sharp meander of the tributary stream - which otherwise flows generally straight - adjacent to a portion of the site places an unreasonable burden on the design of the site and placement of structures. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. Vote: 7:0. M/S/P, Ptacek/Roth to recommend that the City Council not waive or modify the Tributary Stream parking and drive setback standard of 100 feet depicted on plans staff - dated July 19, 2006, and require the 15 parking spaces on said plan along the west site boundary be eliminated. Vote: 7:0.
