City.Council Regular Meeting Minutes • October 22, 1996 Page 4 1 Mr. Murlowske stated he felt the property was unbuildable without the variance due to 2 the configuration of the lot, the traffic flow and the parking. He again stated three 3 proposals had been considered and price was not the deciding factor. 4 Marks asked how the traffic pattern would be affected if the variance was not granted. 5 Mr. Murlowske stated with the variance there would be 31.5 feet between the buildings. 6 This would provide a good alleyway and would allow room for parallel parking on both 7 sides. This could not be accomplished without the 10 foot setback variance. 8 Marks asked if the new building could be built against the existing building. 9 Mr. Murlowske stated the waste haulers would be unable to safely access the lot and it 10 would affect the safety of traffic flow. 11 Mr. Bona reiterated if the building was built within the 20 foot setback, the garbage 12 haulers would be unable to remove garbage. 13 Mr. Murlowske noted if the building were built closer to the other building,the option of the overhead door on the side of the building would also be lost. He stated if this were a 01 rectangular lot, with one street frontage,there would be no issue with meeting all the 16 requirements. Due to the configuration of the lot and the three street frontages, it requires 17 the additional setback. 18 Motion by Ranallo, second by Wagner to approve the request for a 10 foot side yard 19 variance for the St. Anthony Unocal Service Station, Roger Bona, 2801 Kenzie Terrace 20 based on the findings of the Planning Commission. 21 Motion carried unanimously. 22 23 2.

The proposed addition would allow the owner to make the current 29 porch more usable and will be in line with the principle structure. 30 The required setback for this lot is 30 feet because it is adjacent to 36th Avenue N.E. and 31 Silver Lake Road. The existing home sits 30 feet from 36th Avenue N.E. but is only 15 feet from Silver Lake Road. The home immediately to the north of the subject property 41 also sits 15 feet from Silver Lake Road and the home immediately south of the subject 34 property is 30 feet from Silver Lake Road. The City Ordinance states that the structure
