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