STAFF REPORT
Joe B. Kinsel, Jr. representing Kinsel Ford, Inc., the property owner,
has applied for variances to the minimum side yard building setback
from 20' to 10' and to the minimum rear yard building setback from
10' to 5'. The property is located at 3185 French Road.
Mr. Kinsel states that the property is currently being used for the
display and sale of used cars. Mr. Kinsel says that the used car lot
has a particular number of unit spaces and room for customer
parking. He feels that the placement of the proposed replacement
modular building at a distance of 20' from the west property line and
10' from the north property line will appreciably reduce the amount
of usable space for the used car unit display and customer parking
thereby adversely affecting the ability for the consumer to view the
vehicles.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
