Page 7 3. Site Security: the sidewalk/ramp that extends from the south end of the parking lot around to the east entrance of the building should have adequate security lighting STAFF COMMENTS Site Plan The proposed site plan would comply with all R-3B district requirements except for a decreased building and parking setback from the northwest property line. Variance A 20 foot building setback variance is required for the 7-stall garage and a 10 foot parking setback variance is required for the parking lot. The code requires a 30 foot building setback and at least 1S feet of landscaped area from an R-1 district. The hardship in this case is the triangular shape of the lot which makes it difficult for the applicant to meet setback requirements. A unique circumstance exists in that there is a 100 foot railroad right-of-way and a public street right-of....way separating this site from the single family homes to the northwest. The ;:,~,,'.C need for parking setback variance was, in part, created by the applicant's willingness to include more than the minimum required parking stalls to accommodate visitors. Granting the building and parking setback variance would not appear to increase the impact of this development on the single family homes to the west because of the substantial buffer provided by the railroad right-of-way. Special Use Permit The apartment building being relocated is currently occupying a part of the Golden Pond development site and must be removed before that project can be completed. The building will be up-graded and brought into compliance with all current building code standards. The proposed development would comply with the City's comprehensive plan and pose ,a minimal impact to surrounding land uses. <->..,1' '-" ".:.,') ,:1....
