SUBJECT: Consider a request for a variance to the minimum building
setback requirement from 10' to 6' for a sign post
FILE: 619-BA
STAFF REPORT
Fuzzy=s #9 has applied for a variance to the minimum building setback
requirement from 10' to 6' for a owner identification sign to be
installed at 1405 Washington.
The applicant states that due to the configuration of the property, the
fuel storage tanks had to be placed in one direction. Because of this,
the gravel pit where the tanks lay encroaches into the 10' setback by
several feet. The applicant says that as a result, there is no
compacted earth to accommodate the foundation of the proposed sign.
The applicant states that if the variance is not granted, there is no
other place to put the sign. The proposed location for the sign, which
is 6 feet off the Avenue A right-of-way line and 7 feet off the
Washington Blvd. right-of-way line, is believed, by the applicant, to be
the only place that the sign can go.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
