MINIJTES OFTHEBEGULAROHONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON J UNE 23,1997 <br />(#10) #2247 WAYNE HOLMES, 1390 PAKK DRIVE - VARIANCE - <br />RESOLUTION NO. 3919 <br />Gafifron reported that the application is a request for side setback and side street yard <br />setback variances ibr construction of a detached accessory storage building. The building <br />as inhialfy proposed would be located 2.S' from the unimproved dedicated right*of-way <br />known as Forest Avenue. The li^t-of-way b wooded and low land. It is a potential <br />access for Higbwood Park. Staff and Planning Comn^ion agreed that the 2.5' setback <br />was inadequate. <br />CafiBron said the ^pBcant has agreed to maint^ a 10' setback by angling the building <br />and'iemovutg 2* from one side. Thb would allow the large oak tree to be saved but <br />UDght result in the loss of lUac bushes. Gafi&on said the iO' setback is typical of normal <br />setbacks. There is a IS* setback requirement for buildings of this size; but he feels a S' <br />variance b appropriate in order not to impact the tree. Additional grading or retaining <br />wall would ^ required to eUminate any impact The applicant has proposed building a <br />retaining wall. Gaffion said the Planning Commisaon and Staff recommend approval of <br />tire amended plan. . <br />Goetten asked how far the building would be from the oak tree. Mrs. Holmes smd they <br />have reduced the building by 2' to increase die separation Gafifron indicated that the tree <br />would be 10-12' from the building. <br />Jabbour asked if there was any reason to maintain the 60' right-of-way. GaSron said <br />there are no plans to improve the road, but h could be a potential park access in the <br />future. <br />Goetten asked that the applicants be considerate of the tree. Mr. Holmes said they will <br />work around the root ^stem. Mrs. Holmes noted that the building is a pole bam and <br />would be constructed on a floating dab. This should eliminate any problem for the oak <br />tree. <br />The applicant voiced satisfaction with the resolution as presented. <br />Flint moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3919.
