allow vacumming the cars while they are standing still. Mr. Tousley added that he has received complaints from OSHA about the hazards to the wcrkers of performing this service on a moving vehicle. The front addition will provide more stacking space for vehicles while the final drying processes are completed. The applicant said he has been attempt- ing for two years to buy additional land to the rear from the Apache Corporation. He told Mr. Johnson that, without this space, vehicles will be unable to make the turn into the car wash. Mr. Fornell pointed out that there has been no consistent set back line established along Stinson, citing Poppin Fresh Pie Shop as an example. It has a five foot setback. No one else appeared to speak for or against the proposal and the Public Hearing was closed at 8:00 P.M. Both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Rymarchick were reluctant to allow the the con- struction, to the lot line but took into cons d'eratLan the improbability of the "former Arlan' s building" being expanded. Mr. Cowan said he felt this was a unique situation. There is a possibility the traffic problem might be improved with the addition. The owner feels he has to have the improvement to continue in business . Owners of the building to the rear have raised no objections to the expansion. Motion by Mr. Johnson and seconded by Mr. Cowan to recommend to the Council that the variances be granted which will allow Roger Tousley to • make the additions he proposes to his car wash at 3725 Stinson Boulevard. Motion carried unanimously. �Ano .her Public Hearing was called at 8 :15 P.M. to consider the request from Berger Transfer and Storage Company that they be granted a side yard variance which will allow them to extend the addition for which they received approval last month to within 2 .78 feet of the lot line to the east. William Dircks of Berger was present to discuss the five reasons for granting the variance which were attached to the application. The primary reason for the expansion was to provide enough space to accomo- date large storage containers for household goods. He said the builder's agreement to stay within the required set backs was not acceptable to the company. He pointed out that the Auto Trac building to 'the east is built on the lot line and that company now uses the 15 feet for parking the cars they service. No one else appeared to speak for or against the proposal and the public Hearing was closed at 8 :25 P.M. Mr. Rymarchick and Mr. Bowerman questioned the Building Inspector's and Fire Marshal's opinons, as presented in Mr. Fornell' s memorandum, that the proximity of the two buildings would present little problem in fire fighting, wondering how that applied to residential building permits . Mr. Fornell said residential setbacks are often more for aesthetic reasons and open space. (2)
