AYES: Spencer, Crosby, Ott NOES: None ABSENT: None CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 79-26 Applicant: Robert D. Cooley - To permit: 1) -600 sq. ft. reduction of ,open space from the required 5100 sq. ft. to 4500 sq. ft.; 2) reduction of side yard setback from the required ten feet -to five feet; and 3) reduction of three parking spaces from the required 32 spaces to 29 spaces provided located on the east side of Cameron -Street, approximately 500 feet north of Newman Avenue in an R3 District. IN CONJUNCTION WITH: USE PERMIT NO. 79-18 Applicant: Robert D. Cooley To permit addition of six units to an existing ten unit apartment com- plex -located on the east side of Cameron Street, approximately 500 feet north of Newman Avenue in an R3 District. These requests are covered by Negative Declaration No. 77-114, previously approved. Mr. Cooley, the applicant, was present to represent his applications. Secretary Spencer outlined the proposals to the Board. The public hearing was opened. Mr. Yamata addressed the Board and stated his opposition to the request for a reduction of three parking spaces, whereby he felt it would be precedent setting along Cameron Street. Secretary Spencer stated,that the reduction in parking request was minor because. -the street was now being utilized for parking and in the apartment standards it "states that in an R3 zone;-all_'parking must be on site for nine or more units, and with the proposed addition, the applicant would exceed the nine unit requirement. Mr. Spencer further stated that the proposed addition would eliminate approximately 500 to 600 square feet of open -space, however, he pointed -out that the applicant was providing in excess of 6400 square feet in private open space, far more than that required by.Ordinance Code. Mr. Spencer further addressed himself to the reduction of side yard setback and felt that this was self imposed and could be corrected with proper designing. 1 Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments Wednesday, June 20, 1979 Page Thirteen Mr. Cooley, the applicant, addressed the Board and stated that basically his hardship was that he was working with a 15 year old existing complex. He stated that he was attempting to build quality units and in order to do so had to add at least six units'to provide a quality structure that would enhance the surrounding area. The Board felt that the design problem of improper side yard setback could be remedied by a square footage reduction in the proposed units. Mr. Cooley made the side yard reduction request to able the units to accommodate 2-1/2 baths, and objected to having to cut the baths to a total of two. Landscaping was discussed. It was agreed that the northerly driveway and driveway approach would be removed and replaced with landscaping. There being no other parties present to speak on the applications, the'public hearing was closed. Board discussion ensued. Conditions of approval, reasons for approval, and findings were discussed. ON MOTION BY SPENCER AND SECOND BY OTT CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 79-26 WAS APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS, WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, AND FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: REASON FOR APPROVAL OF 600 SQUARE FOOT REDUCTION IN THE REQUIRED GENERAL OPEN SPACE: 1. Applicant has provided in excess of 6400 square feet of private open space which affords a more meaningful and usable private recreational area for each unit. 1. The base district standards allows on -street guest parking if it were developed other than the requirements of apartment standards. 2. The bulk of properties developed along Cameron are developed under the base standards which have allowed on -street guest parking. REASON FOR DENIAL FOR SIDE YARD REDUCTION: 1.
