REPORTS. <br /> 12 A. Planning Commission- May 18. 1999. <br /> 13 Mayor Ranallo welcomed Planning Commissioner Randy Stille and invited him to <br /> 14 address the Council. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 1. Sunset Memorial Cemetery: for 2250 St. Anthony Boulevard; side yard setback <br /> 17 variance request. <br /> Stille explained the owners of Sunset Memorial Cemetery are requesting a sideyard <br /> variance request to construct a sidewalk around the mausoleum. He added the Planning <br /> 20 Commission recommends approval of this request. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Marks asked what hardship had been found in connection with this request. Stille stated <br /> 23 the sidewalk is needed to accommodate staff operating heavy equipment as well as for <br /> 24 families visiting the mausoleum and grounds in inclement weather. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Cavanaugh stated the sidewalk seems to be an integral part of the mausoleum, and asked <br /> 27 why it wasn't included in the original design. Dennis Bridges, a representative from <br /> 28 Sunset Memorial Park, stated the original building permit did not incorporate sidewalks <br /> 29 around the entire structure, which needed to be in the original permit process. He added <br /> 30 they thought they could complete the process after the building was built,but then <br /> 31 discovered they would be encroaching on the setback. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Marks stated the necessary hardship must relate to City ordinances or unusual topography <br /> 34 or shape of the property. Stille stated the omission of the sidewalks from the.original <br /> 35 plan was an oversight on the part of the contractor and probably would have been initially <br /> 36 approved. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Ranallo noted the welfare and safety of staff and visitors is affected by the lack of a <br /> 39 sidewalk. <br />
