,.~ -2- Draft _. setback area. The building itself is set 27 feet from the rear property line which is 7 feet more than required. The variance ie needed only for the enaloaed dock areas. The docks are being enclosed to increase the energy e efficiency of the building through use of an air-lock double door system. Only about 200 tq. feet of the enclosed dock is in the setback area. Without the variance .the docks would still be in the same locatien by they could not be enclosed. The effect of the front yard variance ie also minor. Only two adjacent residential properties-are affected by the setback s~ariance. both of these properties have side yards rather than front yards facing the industrial property. County Road E2 is a county state aid highway which is classified as a collector street rather than a residential street. This reduces the need for the extraordinary 60 feet setback. The 73 foot right of way for County Road E2 is wider than normal by 13 feet and therefore provides the equivalent of a 53 feet setback. In addition, the placement of the road surface completely on the south portion of the right of way provides extra space for screening on the residential properties if they so desire. The development of this site is a challenging task because of parcel size, setback requirements, soil conditions and ponding requirements. We have hired experts and spent many hours working on these problems to come up with an acceptable site and building plan. We are pleased with the results of these efforts and we believe our proposed development of the site will be an attractive addition to the city. You can be fully confident that we share the city's concern for quality development along this important gateway to New Brighten.. Your approval of the requested variances will make our development possible.
