effects this might have on the use presently proposed. Ratio of usable

ON MOTION BY LIPPS AND SECOND BY PALIN CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 76-43
WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS, BY THE
FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS OF THE BOARD:
1. The lot size and configuration and the ratio of dead storage
and office space to working floor area justifies the requested
reduction in parking spaces.
2. The granting of the Conditional Exception for the setback en-
croachment is consistent with the intent of the Planning Commis-
sion and the City Council to provide commercial development
with the least possible effect upon the abutting uses for the
following reasons:
a. The requested location of the building will have less effect
upon the privacy of adjacent residents than would siting the
building farther back on the property, which would permit
windows looking directly into the abutting rear yards.
