One of the conditions of the sale was that the nonconforming setback status be <br />resolved through the granting of a variance. The building, a 38,192 square-foot office / <br />warehouse structure, was constructed in 1978 and was most recently occupied by NASCO / <br />Unidare US Inc, a distributer of welding supplies and parts. The building for the last year or more <br />has been vacant. <br />Discussion: <br />Upon arranging for the sale of the parcel to ASC Properties, LLC, it was discovered that the <br />building encroaches into the front yard setback along Old Highway 8. The required setback for a <br />building in the I-1 Zoning District is 40 feet; the as-built setback is actually ranges from 40 feet to <br />37.33 feet. The applicant would like to have a variance approved to legally allow in perpetuity <br />the existing non-conforming front yard setback. Given the fact that the new owners had nothing <br />to do with the construction of the building in 1978, a good hardship-case can be made for the <br />approval of such a variance. <br />Recorrcnzendation: <br />Staff recommends the approval of the requested variance and has drafted for the Commission's <br />action Resolution 603-00, a resolution approving a variance for a reduced front yard setback for <br />ASC Properties, LLC, with stipulations. <br />���� ���� <br />James Ericson, PCanner <br />N:�DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV�DE VCASES\579-99W SC.RPT <br />
