GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Request from Smith Diamond Realty for site plan approval of a
2,078 square foot addition to the existing building located at 2828
Wilson Avenue. The Assistant City Manager’s review included adjacent
zones, uses, Master Plan designations, parking, utilities,
landscaping, dumpster location, and lighting. He indicated a site
plan was approved in November 1997 and that approval has since
expired; the front yard setback in that plan was 22 feet and the
applicant is now requesting to reduce the front yard setback to
approximately 21 feet.
Stan Jager, from The Architectural Group, was in attendance
representing the applicant. He asked the Planning Commission to
consider the handicap ramp as the current setback and not the
building so that they would not have to make major modifications to
the site plan or apply to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance
to reduce the front yard setback. He indicated the applicant is
anxious to proceed with the project.
Discussion on the front yard setback.
Motion by Zondervan, seconded by Poll, to approve the site plan
as submitted with the west wall not to exceed the existing plane of
the building or to apply to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a
variance to reduce the front yard setback; and including conditions
(1) utility connections subject to Department of Public Works and
City Engineer approval; and (2) separate sign permit required for
site signage. The motion carried unanimously.
