Andy Olree, representing the Architects of the site, spoke in favor of the case and was on-hand for questions from Council. Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing. Soecial Use Permit Motion by Mrs. Rotola to approve Case No. SUP-07-01, a request for approval of a special use permit to allow for a drive through facility located at 4975 Kipling Street, for the following reasons: 1. The drive through facility should create little to no impact upon the general health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. 2. The drive through facility will not create nor contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical or operational characteristics of the proposed use. With the following condition: 1. The grant of use shall be for the property and may be inherited. Seconded by Mr. Womble; carried 8-0. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: February 26,2007 Page-3- Variance Motion by Mrs. Rotola to approve Case No. WA-07-02, a request for approval of a 29.4- foot front yard setback variance, resulting in a 20.6-foot front yard setback for property located at 4975 Kipling Street, for the following reasons: 1. The hardship has not been created by the applicant, but rather is a product of dual frontage adjacent to right-of-way. Complying with the 50 foot front yard setback would greatly compromise the site layout and could severely impact required parking stalls. 2. The building will actually be located approximately 42 feet from the edge of Kipling Street. The presence of excess right-of-way gives the appearance of a greater front yard setback. 3. The building location will not affect the site distance triangle at West 50th Avenue and Kipling Street. 4. The request will not have a detrimental effect on air or light to adjacent properties. Seconded by Council Members Schulz and Womble; carried 8-0. DECISIONS. RESOLUTIONS. AND MOTIONS Item 3.
