Site Plan & Nonconforming Use Variance Review – Jamatar II LLC and Everest Properties LLC <br />Planning Commission Report; 11-17-20 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Page 15 <br />(cont.) 6. The area in question is largely unseen from surrounding properties, and <br />proposed changes will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br />7. The variance is being sought to ensure all businesses have access to <br />convenient parking, and that land in this area is efficiently utilized. <br />8. Given the lack of space in this area, it is not practical to require elimination of <br />exsitng parking spaces within side yard setbacks as that would be antithetical <br />to the City’s goal of fostering a thriving commercial and industrial base. <br /> <br />Recommended <br />Conditions: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Approval of the site plan authorizing a change to parking easements and <br />configureation shall only become effective upon the applicant providing an <br />engineered turning movement analysis that shows adequate area exists to <br />facilitate on-site emergency vehicle turning movements. <br />2. Staff is authorized to work with the applicants on a final configuration of <br />parking spaces that protects both the overall number of spaces on the site <br />AND emergency vehicle access should changes be needed as a result of the <br />turning movement analysis. <br />3. The variance allowing for zero-lot line parking setbacks from internal side lot <br />lines between the subject properties shall become void at such time as one or <br />more of the buildings is removed or when lot lines are shifted as such changes <br />would likely alter the facts supporting the variance. <br />4. If the applicant’s would like to pursue a formal vacation of the 4th Street right <br />of way, an application from all parties adjacent to the ROW must be <br />submitted along with legal descriptions and exhibits for all necessary <br />replacement easements (private ingress/egress easements, public utility <br />easements, etc). <br />5. The applicant shall complete needed site clean up to address outdoor storage <br />nonconformities (i.e. the stacks of empty pallets and junk stored east of the <br />building shall be removed). <br />cc: Paul Archambault, JAMATAR II LLC <br /> John Higgins, Everest Properties LLC <br /> <br /> <br />
