A. Case No. WZ-12-10: An application filed by Arturo Fernandez for approval of a zone
change from Restricted Commercial (RC) to Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU-N) for the
property located at 4335 Harlan Street.
Commissioner OHM asked if under the MU-N zoning the applicant be required to
provide a 10-foot wide buffer on the west side of the property which is adjacent to
residentially zoned. Ms. Mik replied that development standards only apply to
new developments, and if there were to be new development on the property, the 10-
foot wide setback would apply.
Commissioner OHM stated that he is concerned about the narrow 8.9 foot wide drive
aisle on the south side of the property' Ms. Mikulak confirmed that it is substandard to
the current standards for a drive aisle. If the property is redeveloped in the future
current standards would need to be met.
In response to Commissioner OHM's question, Ms. Mikulak confinned that this would
be a nonconforming site design.
Ms. Reckert added that this was sent out on referral and a negative response was not
received from the fire department. If there had been problems in the past they would

The applicant stated that the carport is on the property line, but he worked it out with the
neighbors. He explained that the narrow drive is not an issue since he does not intend to
use it regularly. He intends to maintain the property, upgrade it, and keep it nicely
landscaped.

In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN's question, Ms. Mikulak replied that Mr.
Lang resides in the single family home to the north.
