1). A Variance from the requirement of providing perimeter trees at a minimum rate of one (1) over -story <br />deciduous tree every forty (40) feet to providing a minimum of two trees (2) in the parkway of <br />Kenmore on the west side of the site and one (1) tree along the north property line as shown. <br />The petitioners are asking for approval of this Variance as the property is located in the urban core <br />area of the City with limited area. The Petitioners would add two trees in the parkway area of Kenmore <br />Street in an area presently used for parking. That pavement would be removed and landscaping will be <br />added to soften the western fagade of the building, which is also the main entrance. Trees cannot be <br />placed along Western Avenue as the City has recently placed new street lighting in the grass parkway <br />along with the electric line running in the grass area. One tree would also be placed along the north <br />property line away from the existing overhead utility lines running along the alley. The property to the <br />east is a combination home and business which appears to have been vacant for quite some time. The <br />owners do not believe approval of this Variance would be detrimental to any surrounding property. <br />2). A Variance from the requirement of providing a minimum of a 6 ft. wide landscape planting area along <br />the Western Avenue fagade of the existing building to no landscaping and to a minimum of 10 shrubs <br />along the Kenmore Street fagade as shown. <br />The Petitioners would state that the Western Avenue frontage has not changed in the last few years <br />and the owners had placed a concrete sidewalk along that frontage. The building does have an entrance <br />to that street that presently is not being used. They would ask to not be required to ripe up the concrete <br />to place a few shrubs along that building front. The petitioners would state that their focus is to remove <br />the existing parking and pavement on the west side of the building that has been used by patrons for the <br />past several years. This parking encroaches into the right -of -way for Kenmore Street. The Petitioners <br />believe removing the pavement and replacing the walk and adding shrubs along the west side of the <br />building meets the intent of the landscape Ordinance for the City. The Petitioners believe approval of <br />this Variance would not adversely affect any surrounding property. <br />3). A Variance from the requirement of providing Type "B" Residential Bufferyard screening along the <br />north and east property lines to providing a minimum 6 ft. high landscape screening fence along said <br />property lines to the required 10 ft. sight triangle at northwest corner of site and 10 ft. sight triangle <br />at southeast corner of site as shown. <br />The Petitioners would state that presently the existing paved area behind the building is not <br />screened from the properties to the north or to the east of the petition site. The requirement of a 20 ft. <br />wide residential bufferyard is quite extreme for smaller properties in the urban core areas of the City. <br />The Petitioners are asking to be able to use a screening fence along both the north and east property <br />lines of the site. This provides a solution to the screening of the proposed parking and gas pump areas <br />without the requirement of using an overly large portion of the site. The Petitioners are trying to locate <br />improvements on their site and meet the intent of the Ordinances to screen/buffer the uses from the <br />adjacent properties. They believe approval of this Variance will not have a negative affect on adjacent <br />properties. <br />4). A Variance to allow parking spaces, pavement and a dumpster and dumpster enclosure to be placed <br />in the 20 foot wide Residential Bufferyard along the north property line and east property line to a <br />minimum of 1 ft. along the north property line and to a minimum of 2ft. along the east property line as <br />shown. <br />The Petitioners are asking to encroach into the Residential Bufferyard along both the north and <br />east property lines. This is to allow the placement of parking spaces along the north line and for a <br />dumpster enclosure at the northeast portion of the site. This will allow for the Petitioners to remove <br />the existing parking spaces along Kenmore Street out of the right -of -way and to organize the spaces <br />at the only viable area on the site. This will also allow a location for a trash dumpster that will be <br />placed at a location for easy access for a truck to enter the site, empty the trash and leave the site <br />without unnecessary maneuvering. The Petitioners believe the approval will allow for the site to <br />be used more efficiently than it is used today. The approval of this Variance should not have an <br />adverse impact on surrounding properties. <br />
