Carl Love, 1011 West Fifth Street, also opposed the duplex.
Craig Miller, representing the neighbors in the area, stated
that the site was not appropriate for a duplex because only
7,000 square feet of the parcel is usable, where 10,500
square feet is required; the lot is only 50 feet wide,
rather than the required 75 feet wide; the only access is
a narrow alley, without curbs or sidewalks, causing
detrimental traffic impacts; and a duplex would increase the
density in the area.
Denny McCart, 1006 West Sixth, stated his opposition. Ken
Stephan, 1020 West Fourth Street, expressed concern about
future tenants. Following additional testimony, Chairman
Ross closed the public hearing.
Following additional discussion among the Commission, Mr.
Puckett moved to recommend approving the Conditional Use
permi t provided that it was to the Bughers only. This
motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Cornell then moved to
recommend to deny the Conditional Use Permit application for
a duplex, citing the following findings:
1.
Because the bluff bisects the subject parcel and neigh-
boring lots, rendering over one-half of the parcel
unusable, a duplex will significantly increase struc-
tural overcrowding and population concentration.
2. The pattern of land ownership on the north side of the
4/5 alley may encourage the conversion of existing
homes and the construction of new duplexes on nearby
properties, thereby significantly increasing traffic in
the alley and demand on utilities.
Mr. Rice seconded the motion. On call for the question, the
vote was 3 - 3.
TEMPORARY USE PERMIT - HARVI AND LINDA KI I SKI. A
request for a Temporary Use Permit to allow a mobile
home to be located on the property, in the RS-9,
Single-Family District, for a period of 5 years.
Location: 712 Viewcrest.
Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Ross
opened the public hearing.
Mr. Kiiski explained that he anticipates construction of the
house in two years. Chairman Ross closed the public hearing.
Mr. Glass moved to recommend granting a Temporary Use Permit
for two years, subject to the following conditions:

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - VALERIE GALLACCI. A request
for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a daycare center
in the ACD, Arterial Commercial District. Location:
1010 East Front Street.
Mr. Carr reviewed the Department Report. Chairman Ross
opened the public hearing.
Ms. Gallacci explained that there would be 60 children in
the daycare center, with most of them arriving near 9 AM in
the morning. The proposed play area is exposed to sunlight.
There will be a 2,000 square-foot addition to the north.

addi tional discussion, Chairman Ross closed the public
