5 Petitioners would state that they have owned the property prior to the change in the Ordinance requiring the perimeter landscaping, and the only reason the perimeter landscaping is now being required, is due to the adjustment of a lot line and not due to an expansion of the existing use. Their property presently is surrounded by vacant land owned by the City and a trucking operation. The Petitioners do not believe approval of this Variance would have a detrimental affect on any surrounding property. The second Variance request is from the required Screening of outdoor storage areas consisting of Type "C ": Full Screening along the North, East, South and West property lines in conjunction with providing a 6 , ft. high chain link fencing to providing only the 6 ft. high chain link fencing which exists. As mentioned above the Petitioners have been storing materials outside since they have purchased the property. The requirement of moving over 1400 lineal feet of fencing, removing pavement and then adding landscaping along the perimeter of the site would be an extreme hardship in order to adjust a lot line and create a public park site. The Petitioners do not believe that approval of this Variance request would adversely affect any surrounding property. The third Variance request is to be allowed to have outdoor storage located between the 30 ft. Front -yard setback along Oliver Plow Court and the front lot line along said Street (to a minimum of 1 ft.) . This situation has existed for the past several years as shown on the attached site plan. They would prefer not to be required to remove the existing pavement, fencing and stored materials to shift all improvements back over 30 feet. The Petitioners would state that since the storage has been at this present location for several years, there should be no negative impact to surrounding properties if the Variance request were approved. The fourth Variance request is to allow for outside storage in the 10 ft. Side -yard setback along the East and West property lines and in the 10 ft. Rear -yard setback along the South property line (to a minimum of 1 ft.). The Petitioners would state that this variance request is the same as the previous request in that materials are stored within a foot of the side and rear property lines. To be in compliance would require the removal of several thousand square foot of pavement and as stated above removal and re- installation of over 1400 lineal feet of fencing. The Petitioners would hope, that with the Board Members knowing the adjacent properties are either vacant or contain a truck depot, they would agree, that it is not necessary to require a 10 ft. setback for the shown outside storage of materials. The fifth Variance request for Parcel "A" is from the required 10 ft. Side -yard setback along the East property line to 0 ft. for the existing building, air conditioners and structure connecting the shown primary building and the existing smoke stack structure located on Parcel "B ". As stated above, the Petitioners desire to separate the Passive Park property form their property with the end result being that the Oliver Plow smoke stack will be on the Park parcel. The Petitioners do not believe the approval of this request to adjust the common lot
