REPORTS. 13 A. Planning Commission - October 15, 1996. 14 Commissioner George Thompson was present to report on the items addressed at the 15 October 15, 1996 Planning Commission Meeting. 16 17 1. Roger Bona, St. Anthony Unocal Service Station, 2801 Kenzie Terrace; Side Yard Setback Variance Request. Commissioner Thompson reported Mr. Bona, the owner of the commercial property at 20 2801 Kenzie Terrace, is proposing to demolish the old Johnson Meat Market that.is part 21 of his property and reconstruct another building in the same footprint with an additional 22 20 feet added to the north,to house service/repair bays so that he may expand his service 23 station business. Currently, the meat market building is approximately 10 feet into the 24 side yard setback, which for commercial properties adjacent to residential areas, is 10 feet 25 shy of the required side yard setback of 20 feet. 26 Mark Murlowske, of Belair Builders and Roger Bona feel that the new building will 27 enhance the redevelopment efforts of the City, make the area more attractive and will 28 meet Roger's needs for his business. There were several people at the Planning 29 Commission meeting in favor of the project and Mr. Bona presented the City with a 30 petition signed by all the neighbors to the west of his property in favor of the project. 31 The Planning Commission recommended City Council approval of the 10 foot side yard 32 setback variance request by a vote of 5-0-1, Commissioner Makowske abstained, as it 33 meets the variance criteria as follows: 34 1. Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship as this proposal will not alter the 35 character of the area and economic interests are evident but are not the primary consideration. 1 2. Circumstances are unique due to the configuration of the lot.
