Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 18, 1995 Page 6 1 Commissioner Franzese noted.the ordinance may also cause an economic hardship, as Rapid Oil 2 had a sign which was well lit and highly visible to the eye. 3 Commissioner Thompson again recommended the sign on the front of the building be improved. 4 Mr. Bulicz indicated for a sign to be highly visible on the front of the building it would have to 5 stick way out. He disagreed with improvement of the front sign and indicated a sign on the side 6 will help traffic from that direction identify the business. 7 Vote: Commissioners Gondorchin, Franzese, Thompson, Bergstrom, Horst, and Makowske 8 voted yes. Commissioner Faust voted naye. 9 Motion carried. 10 Chair Bergstrom urged Mr. Bulicz to attend the City Council meeting on April 25, 1995 for the 11 final commitment of his sign variance request. 12 C. Request for front and back yard setback variance and lot area variance for 3111 Silver 43 Lake Road. 14 At 7:52 P.M., Chair Bergstrom opened the public hearing for a front and back yard variance and 15 a lot area variance for 3111 Silver Lake Road. 16 Management Assistant Moore-Sykes explained this property was acquired as part of the St. 17 Anthony HRA program for scattered-site redevelopment. She indicated the same process was 18 initiated for 3112 Silver Lake Road in 1993. The two lots are the same size and Lang Beach'is 19 proposing to develop the 3111 Silver Lake Road property in the same manner. She stated 3111 20 Silver Lake Road is a platted and buildable lot. In order to build an updated,modern home, Mr. 21 Beach has petitioned for the following variances which will be required for the redevelopment of 22 the property. These same variances were approved for 3112 Silver Lake Road. A front yard 23 variance of fifteen feet; the ordinance requires 30 feet in the front yard setback. A back yard 24 variance of twelve feet; the ordinance requires 25 feet in the back yard setback. A lot area 25 variance of 440 square feet because it is a corner lot;the ordinance requires that corner lots have 26 an area of 11,000 square feet. This lot has 10,560 square feet. She explained the property has a 27 front yard setback of approximately 15 feet and in addition, there is a six foot right-of-way the 28 City owns. The structure will actually sit 21 feet from Townview Avenue and it's west side yard 29 will be 31 feet from Silver Lake Road. The back of the structure will be 13 feet from the 30 property line and abuts the side yard of the neighboring property. She indicated there are no 31 windows or doors on this side of the neighboring home. She stated staff recommends approval 32 of the variances as this lot has some of the same hardships that existed for the redevelopment of 3112 Silver Lake Road. The variances are needed for the redevelopment of a non-conforming lot 4 that is platted and buildable. The lot at 3111 Silver Lake Road is deemed non-conforming 35 because of the adoption of the City's zoning ordinances which require larger lot sizes. The
