P.O. Box 2159 Dallas, Texas 75221 Dear Mr. McGee I am writing to follow up our meeting of January 11,' 1989. To avoid any misunderstanding, I would like to further clarify the City's setback requirements as they pertain to the Fina site (see attached site plan A). As I applied the City's new parking standards to the Fina site, I discovered off-street parking areas are now required to be setback 25 feet from all residential districts. This additional setback requirement will not effect the amount of buildable area on the subject site, but will reduce the amount of site area which can be used for off-street parking. I've sketched a concept site plan which serves as an example of how the Fina site might be designed using current standards (see attached site plan B). Said plan would require a front yard setback variance and reduced street sideyard setback to allow for maneuvering area around the westerly pump islands. Of course, the provision of a full 30 foot setback for your maneuvering area would eliminate the need for a setback variance and thus make your proposal more acceptable. Please be advised, I am not promoting the sketch I prepared nor am I assuring its approval. All site plans are subject to Planning Commission and City Council review and approval. Finally, since the Fina site does not presently comply with the required 30 foot off-street and maneuvering area setback, it is considered a type IV non-conforming use. If a 30 foot setback for parking and maneuvering is provided on the new site plan, a non- conforming use permit would not be required. However, if a setback of less than 30 feet is provided, you would be required to reduce the non-conformity to the greatest extent practical. In other words, you would want to provide as large a setback as possible. I am also enclosing a variance and a non-conforming use permit application form should they be necessary. Please note, a variance and non-conforming use permit require a public hearing, thus an abstractor's certified list of property owners within 350 feet of the site must be submitted along with your application.
