2 <br /> deciduaus tree every forty (40) feet to providing perimeter trees at a spacing of a maximum of eighty <br /> (80)feet on center along the frontage of Burnett Drive and no additional perimeter trees along the north <br /> or east property lines of the site. This site is part of an old industrial park in the City and the addition of <br /> Mm along the north and east property lines adjacent to existing industrial sites would be extreme, as this <br /> type of landscaping is not needed against industrial sites.The continent purchaser is willing to place trees <br /> every 80 feet along the Burnett street frontage,where they can provide a pleasant streetscape for the new <br /> use. The petitioner and contingent purchaser do not believe approval of this Variance would have a <br /> detrimental affect on any adjacent properly. <br /> 2).A Variance frown the requirement of providing a minimum 241 aisleway in the shown north parking <br /> area and south parking:area to a minimum of 16.5 ft.as shown.The petitioners are requesting to be able <br /> to have a smaller than required driveway for their proposed parking area.They would state that the <br /> existing driveways accessing the north and south parking areas were built previously for ire industrial <br /> use.They would state that the Pet Refuge could use these existing driveways without creating any <br /> difficulties for patrons visiting the facility.They do not have the same turnover rate for cars entering and <br /> exiting the site,as world a retail use.They believe the existing driveways are quite satisfactory for their <br /> facility.The Petitioners do not believe approval of this Variance will adversely affect the surrounding, <br /> properties. <br /> 3).A Variance from the requirement of providing a minimum of 38 parking spaces(i.e. 12 spaces for <br /> 15 3.200 <br /> spaces ces s office area and 25 spaces for 10,400 sq.ft of Veterinary Hospital area)to a minimum of <br /> 1 S spaces as shown. <br /> The Petitioners are requesting to reduce the required number of provided parldng spaces for the new <br /> use.The Zoning ordinance bases the number of spares to be provided on the use of the building. <br /> Parking for office space is calculated at a rate of 3.5 spaces per 1,0€10 sq.fL of office area.The Pet <br /> Refuge does not need to have 12 spaces for the existing office area.They will have on site not more than <br /> 5 employees.The second amount of spaces required for the building is based on providing parking for a <br /> Veterinary Hospital.That is the closest use that is listed in the ordinance for the Kennel areal for the Pet <br /> Refuge.Again this amount of parking does not relate to the proposed use.The Pet Refuge will not <br /> require 26 parking spaces for the area used to house the animals that they care for on site.The <br /> Petitioners and contingent purchaser would not want to pave additional parking spaces,which would go <br /> unused and would create additional storm water runoff on the site.The Petitioners do not believe <br /> approval of this Variance will have a negative impact on adjacent properties. <br /> 8) A statement on how each of the following standards for the granting of variances is met; <br /> The Petitioners would state that their property is located in the urban core on an old industrial site. <br /> The Petitioners believe that the reuse of the industrial site to a new use,the Pet Refuge would fit well in <br /> this industrial subdivision. The few requested Variances reflect a situation that exists for reuse of <br /> existing building sites.The building has existed for decades and predates revised zoning ordinance <br /> developmental standards.The Petitioners would state that the approval of the above requested Variances <br /> will not be injurious to the public health,safety,morals and general welfare of the community.As <br /> envisioned the proposed improvements will place landscaping on-site where none presently exists.This <br /> will increase the public health,safety,morals and general welfare of the community. <br /> The Petitioners would also state that the use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in <br /> the Variances will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner.The site as proposed will provide <br /> more streetscape landscaping than has existed before.The proposed improvements should help to <br /> stabilize values for industrial properties adjacent to the site. <br /> The Petitioners would state that the strict application of the terms of this Ordinance would result in <br /> practical difficulties in the use of the property. <br /> 4).Ifnot clearly shown on the Preliminary Site Plan,a site plan showing the requested variances shall also <br /> be submitted. <br /> The Petitioners have supplied a site plan to help show the proposed improvetents and reflect the <br />
