VE-1-64MINUTES, JANUARY 6, 1964
ZONING ADJUSTOR
VARIANCE
1. VE -1-64 Site Covera e Variance
Zoning Adjustor Decision: Approve by reason of the following findings:
a. There was no weight of evidence presented at the hearing demonstrating
that the granting of the variance would result in a situation materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in the vicinity. An opinion was advanced by opponents
that the site coverage in excess of the ordinance requirements would
so reduce available off-street parking apace as to create traffic
congestion and hazard on surrounding streets. Uncontested evidence
was advanced by the applicants to show that they now have off-street
parking space in excess of their needs and in excess of the Zoning
Ordinance requirements. It was asserted by objectors that employees
now park along the streets and that this constitutes a problem. The
Zoning Adjustor notes, however, that adequate unused off - street
parking space is available, that on- street parking is not prohibited
along these streets, and that if a problem exists or develops, the
County Engineer's office might recommend posting of the street against
parking. Other assertions by objectors were to the point that the
ordinance should be strictly observed simply because it is the law.
b. The applicants assert by testimony that the proposed expansion is
necessary to the continued operation of their business.. They point
out that it has been necessary to acquire their present site from
several owners, that such parcels were often small,having been platted
originally for residential use, and that it is impossible for them
to acquire additional property immediately, although they will continue
to attempt to acquire additional property. They point out that their
expansion plans mould only exceed the ordinance requirements by four
per cent and that it was simply impossible in the past to foresee
their property needs to the exact extent. They assert that a significant
delay in their construction that would result if they had to attempt
to buy additional land mould cause serious disruption of their business.
c. The Zoning Adjustor concludes that no detrimental effect upon surrounding
properties or the general welfare would result from the proposed
expansion. The applicants proposal complies with the purpose of the
ordinance to provide adequate space for efficient functioning of the
plant, and for adequate off-street parking. The amount of the requested
variance is so alight as to not interfere with this purpose while the
potential damage to the applicant of the denial of his expansion is
great„ The Zoning Adjustor is of the opinion that none of the public
purposes contemplated by the ordinance would be served by requiring
strict conformance in this instance.
