4. PUBLIC FORUM
Charles Durbin
3703 Ames Street
Mr. Durbin stated his objection to an auto parts store being built at 38th and
Benton and located within the urban renewal area. The building would be built
too close to the sidewalk and would shadow the street and sidewalk causing snow
and ice problems in the winter months. This business is out of character with the
rest ofthe area. He believed the Urban Renewal Authority should have
something to say about the location of this business.
Alan White explained that the property is zoned C-l and therefore the auto parts
store is a use by right in this zone. The city's streetscape and architectural design
01-03-06
manual encourages buildings to be built close to the sidewalks. Those cases
located within the urban renewal area would only come to WRURA for review if
there is a change in zoning, a special use is involved or there is to be subdivision
of property.
