Section 510(3): Front Setback variance. The applicant is Robert F. Mulnix and the subject property is 2313 Wi]eaton Way. Planning Commission recommendation, per Resolution #736, was denial of the front setback variance, 5 to 1. Mr. Joe Gero, Planning Director, pointed out that under Section 1308.4 of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission may approve or disapprove applications for variances, or appeals from approval or disapproval of Administrative Variances, not amounting to rezones and that Section 1308.5 states four (4) requirements for Variance must be met before the Commission may approve a variance as provided by this chapter; (1) Special circumstances; (2)the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right or use; (3) variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property rights, and (4) granting of the variance is not adverse to the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission felt that there was no special circumstances applying to the site. Applicant stated that the existing building and parking lots were approved by the City and built on the property line, and that the topography of the site is a special circumstance which limits the site. Ms. Carol Saari, Planner, noted that the applicant had attempted to search for a new right-of-way appeal but was unsuccessful and had no new information to offer at this time. Mr Scott Holman, Rome Construction, noted that there has always been an overhang in the ROW and plans are only for a minor concrete addition. Without variance, applicant will be limited to 6 bowling lanes instead of the 8 lanes proposed.

Ms Anna Laurie, Counsel for Applicant, defended the applicant as meeting the 4 requirements in order to approve the request for variance, stating need because of topography, preserve applicant's property right (they have option on property outside the city), benefit to the community (new tax revenue) and the Bowling Alley already was a permitted use. She noted that the applicant is only asking for expansion of existing facilities and that other businesses have -0- setback in area therefore the same should be allowed for the proponent. Mr. Ivan Trimble, Vice-President of the Manette Neighborhood, 2504 Cherry Place, felt there was no a precedence of -0- setback from Wheaton Way to Riddell Road and that when the applicant filed for a remodeling'during 1978, a Building Permit was issued but it did not go through the Planning Department. Mr. Scott Holman stated that there was indeed a -0- setback as precedence. He also clarified Councilman Amo's question as to why additional parking would be needed when two weeks ago, applicant stated that sufficient parking was acquired. TAPE #214 #3077 Councilman Mosely was concerned about problem with traffic coming out of parking area and felt it would be detrimental to the area.

Councilman Drouin asked how many parking spots will be eliminated because of remodeling with Mr. Holman stating 9-11 parking stalls.
