V-85(5)13 - CRESTWOOD CONVALESCENT CENTER. Request for
a variance of the required 30-foot setback to 25 feet;
of the required 40-foot rear yard to 0 feet (or to 25
feet, including right-of-way vacated by nonuse); and of
the maximum 30% lot coverage to 33%, to permit
structural additions to an existing nursing home.
Location: lll6 East Lauridsen Boulevard.
Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Department Report. Chairman
Lewis opened the PUblic hearing.
Bill Folden, 2405 South Laurel, stated that there will be no
new beds; the off-street parking is adequate; and the prop-
erty owned by the Center to the south will not be used at
this time. Annette Ticka, 1119 East Park street, asked if
an addition was being made to the rear of the existing
building. She was told that the additions were on line with
the existing south wall. Chairman Lewis closed the public
hearing.
Mr. Pazan moved to grant the variances, citing the following
findings of fact:
1.
The lot shape, orientation and location are special
circumstances which deny the property the use right of
minor additions.
2. Since other similar residential institutions in the
City do not have required setbacks and the proposed
yards are no less than those required for residential
uses in the vicinity, the variances will not constitute
a grant of special privilege inconsistent with
limitations upon other uses in the vicinity and in the
RS-9 Zone.
3. The proposed additions will not be materially detri-
mental to the general public or injurious to properties
and improvements in this vicinity and district.
Mr. Rexroat seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
V-85(5)12 - OLYMPIC MEMORIAL HOSIPTAL. Request for a
variance of the required 35-foot setback requirement
from a public right-of-way in the PBP District, to 25
feet, to allow an addition to the Olympic Memorial
Hospital Administration Building. Location: 939
Caroline Street.

Steve Vorous explained the use of the proposed addition.
Chairman Lewis closed the public Hearing.
Mrs. McPhee moved to approve the variance, citing the
following findings of fact:
l. Location adjacent to less restrictive districts and a
dead-end street and the bluff are special circumstances
related to the subject parcel and its surroundings
which deny it the use right of a small structural
addition.
2. The variance will not convey a special privilege to the
parcel not shared by others in the vicinity and PBP
Zone.
3. The addition will not be materially detrimental to the
general public or injurious to nearby properties.
Mr. Rexroat seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
