was necessary for him to locate the structure at the property line
adjacent to the alley rather than five (5) ft. from the sideyard
setback. He also submitted a letter to the Board Members consisting
of signatures from his neighbors stating that the location of the
storage shed met with their approval.

property is located at 15312 Connector Lane.
Staff stated that this application covers property consisting of two
(2) lots which the Board will be taking further action on to
consolidate. When the applicant came to the City for zoning
information he was given setback information which was incorrect.
Subsequently, their plan was drafted leaving no opportunity for the
applicant to modify his plan to meet the required setback for
landscaping.
The public hearing was opened by Chairman Smith. It was felt that if
the applicant could include the landscaping adjacent to the curb with
the landscaping around the perimeter of his building, he would meet or
exceed the code landscaping requirement.
The public hearing was closed.

NO. 84-38 (IN CONJUNCTION WITH A.R. NO. 84-43) WAS APPROVED AS

rights.
5. The granting of a conditional exception will not be materially
