This request was for a variance to permit construction of an addition to an existing, non-conforming single family residence and also to permit con-i struction of a carport closer to the side line than permitted in an RS-7 zone. This involved the property at 727 West 4th Street. Mr. James Doyle of Alpine Builders was present and explained the details of the request and answered questions. It was voted to recommend approval of the request as follows: 1. The west side of the carport may be constructed four feet from the property, but must remain un-enclosed. 2. Setback of the new entry-way may be eleven feet from the north margin of 4th Street. - New Business - Two applications for variances or Conditional Use Permits had been received an properly posted for hearing at this time. Mr. R. H. Scanlon had requested a variance to construct, operate and maintain a wholesale-retail warehouse on the north- west corner of 16th and 'IC" streets, in a CSD-Cl zone. During the discussion of this request, a letter was read from James C. and Susan J. Hoien which raised a question as to who was the legal owner of the property involved. The Planning Commission tabled the request until the question of ownership could be resolved. Mr. Floyd McRevey of Uptown Motel Enterprises Inc. had requested a Conditional Use Permit to construct, operate and maintain a 9 unit motel on the north 100 feet of Lot 20 Block 32 Townsite; and, variances from the lot size,area, heiqht and sideyard requirements on the west, south and east. A very lengthy discussion followed with opinions, both pro and con, expressed on the proposed project. Items touched on were proximity to property lines and existing buildings, ratio of' lot coverage, off-street parking, finished elevation of lot, retaining w~lls on property lines, effect on alley grade, property values, original ownership of lot, possible alternatives, building code requirements, and possible trend of future deve- lopement on the area. No unanimous agreement was reached by the Planning Commission, but it was voted to recommend approval of the request setting forth the thinking of the members voting. Two members voted to recommend approval of the request as applied for. Two members voted against the request specifying that they were objecting only to the one foot clearance request- ed from the west property line and no clearance from the south property line. They had no objections to the Conditional Use . .: Minutes - Planning Commission Jan. 7, 1969 page 2. permit or variance requested from the a~lowable height, lot size or one foot clearance from the east property line. With only five members present, the chairman was called upon to break the tie vote. The chairman voted in favor of recommending approval but noted that he also had reservations about the construction of the building so close to the south property line. Other Business - E. L. McWilliams was present to discuss their proposed plat of Seamount estates. The past history of this application was briefly reviewed and memos read from the various city depart- ments involved. Since the newest proposed plating represents a preliminary sketch with which the City Council is unacquainted, it was agreed to refer the item to the Council for their informa- tion. A joint discussion of the revised layout was favored and the evening of January 21, following the next Planning Commission meeting, was suggested as a possible date. . A brief discussion of proper interputation of a few zoning restrictions took place, following which the meeting adjouned at 10:00 P.M. r'1JnA4:&.J ~ Harry Hu~u, Chairman C7Q uliL R.P.Willson, Recordi 9 Secretary --
