BUSINESS ITEM V-86-28. Request for variance from Sec. 3740 to allow con- struction on the property line at 208 N. Burnett Mr. Mukerjee advised the applicant proposes to add a portable building on his lot at 208 N. Burnett, to be used as a take- out food service. A driveway and three parking spaces will be �r constructed to meet the development requirements. The staff recommended approval of the request, as the lot is triangular - shaped with double frontage, leaving limited building area. Also, there are existing commercial developments closer than 25' from the property line in the area. The applicant, Oscar Rodriguez, was present; however, Jimmy Armendarez of the Building Inspection Department answered questions from Commission members, as Mr. Rodriguez speaks Item No. mimS -55- Page No. I— �r P limited English. Mr. Armendarez explained Mr. Rodriguez will install this building on skids, and if the business is not profitable, the building will be moved off. Mrs. C.R. Collins, owner of the property immediately north of this lot, questioned where the parking spaces would be. When shown that they would not be on her property, she stated she had no objections to the request. Mr. Mukerjee advised the only other response was one in favor. During discussion by the Commission, Mr. Seabury asked if the building could be turned to maintain the 25' setback, moving the parking to the rear. Mr. Mukerjee noted different place- ment of the building would result in a different violation, such as the 3' setback from any structure. After further discussion it was moved by Bill Rowland that the variance be granted due to the special conditions being the irregular shape of the lot, the two 25 foot setbacks, and the existence of other commercial developments in the area. The motion was seconded by Bob Seabury for the reasons cited by Mr. Rowland, and also because there seems to be a need in this neighborhood for this type of business, as there has been no opposition. The motion carried with a vote of 5 in favor by Litteken, Gossom, Balch, Rowland and 'Seabury. Dr. Sutton deferred his vote to Mr. Litteken, as he had arrived late. ' The meeting adjourned at 2:00 p.m. Bob Balch, Chairman -56- F m No. r„1i , No . Z
