MINUTES OETHEBEGULAROKONO CTIY COUNCIL <br />MEJirriNG HELD ON J UNE 23,1997 <br />(i^iO) i^247 WAYNE HOLMES, 1390 PAHK DBTVE - VA3EHANCE - <br />RESOLUTION NO. 3919 <br />. . ••• <br />GfcS’on reported that the application is a request for ade setback and side street yard <br />setback variances for construction of a detached accessory storage buDding. The buil^g <br />as inhialty proposed would.be locate 2.5* from the unimproved dedicated ri^t-of-wy ‘ <br />knoTvn as Forest Avenue. The ri^t-^jf-way is wooded and low land. It is a potential ’ <br />access for Highwood Park. Staff and Planning Commission agreed that the 2.5' setback <br />was inadequate. <br />GaSon said the appficant has agreed to mamtah a 10* setback by angjing the building <br />and removing 2’ from one side. This would allow the large oak tree to be saved but <br />nti^t result in the loss of lilac bushes. Gaffiron said the iO' setback is ^ical of normal <br />setbacks. .There is a 15* setback requirement for buildihgs of this size, but he feels a 5* <br />vaiiance’is appropriate in order not to inq>act the tree. Additional grading or retsmztg <br />wall would be reqmred to eliminate vxy impact. The applicant has proposed building a <br />retaining wall. Gaffiron said the Planning Comnnsaon and Staff recommend approval of <br />the amended plan. . <br />Goetten asked how far the building would be from the o^ tree. Mrs. Holmes said they <br />have reduced the bmlding by 2* to increase the separation. Gaffiron indicated that the tree <br />would be 10-12* from the building. <br />Jabbour asked if there was any reason to maintain the 60' nght-of-way. Gaffiron said <br />there are no plans to improve the road, but h could be a potential park access in the <br />future. <br />• <br />Goetteu 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 biuldiog is a pole bam and <br />would be constructed on a floating dab. This should elintinate any problem for the oak <br />tree. <br />The applicant voiced satisfaction Twth the resolution « presented. <br />Flint moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3919.
