VR2006-006 Consideration of a Variance request for Tyson Company at 4825 Mustang Circle Applicant: D&A Development Address: 4825 Mustang Circle Planning Associate Heller presented the request for consideration of a variance to reduce the front building and parking setbacks at Tyson Company located at 4825 Mustang Circle. Planning Associate Heller stated the applicant proposes expanding their facility located at 4825 Mustang Circle. The applicant is requesting to construct a new building with front corners within seven and ten feet from the property line and the additional parking area up to the front property line, with no setback from the Mustang Circle right of way. Planning Associate Heller informed the Commission that this is the first step of a larger facility proposal for the Tyson Company. The property has significant wetlands. All storm water from the area drains into this wetland. The proposed new building, future expansion space, and rail spur do not encroach into the wetlands. Planning Associate Heller stated the applicant is requesting 30-foot and 33-foot variances from the front building setback and a 40-foot variance from the front parking setback requirement. The applicant is proposing to locate the southeast corner of the building seven feet from the property line, the northeast corner of the building ten feet from the property line, and the parking lot directly on the property line. Planning Associate Heller informed the Commission that the applicant would like to construct an additional 120,000 square foot building and a railroad track that would enter this building. The additional building would provide room for four or five rail cars to load and unload inside the building. An additional 23 parking stalls would be added between the building and the front property line. Planning Associate Heller informed the Commission that they are to consider the application for the set back variance only. She asked the Commission to make its decision based on the specified criteria the applicant must meet to demonstrate a hardship or practical difficulty associated with the property which makes a literal interpretation of the Code overly burdensome or restrictive.
