Mattila stat- ed, although staff is sympathetic to the needs of the applicant and has been working with the applicant on various options, staff is recommending denial of the variance due to lack of undue hard- ship. Mattila continued that, with the additional stalls, the applicant would be expanding the non-conforming use rather than reducing it or eliminating it. Robert Kallestad, owner of the Print Craft Building on Eighth Ave- nue, distributed to council and reviewed contents of letters from tenants. Kallestad calculated, using very conservative figures, his building needs a total of 56 parking spaces; and reviewed pro- posed parking plan with landscaping. Mattila indicated his calculations indicate a total of 80 stalls would be required for the building. Page 4 VN-259/NC-8l Ka llestad Report 87-267
