Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, May 11, 1987 Page 4 . ALPO (CONT'D) The Planner explained the proposed construction of the addition to the A1po building, which will house a tank for storage of liquid tallow. The applicant had advised Miller that the tank will be sealed and should not emit any additional odor. Council discussed neighborhood complaints relative to odor emission; the Zoning Administrator Iago had received one complaint prior to the Planning meeting and the Mrs. Zehm, former Zoning Administrator had indicated she received several complaints over the years she was employed. There was also discussion of screeening at the northwest border of the property and the Parks Director explained that A1po personnel had planted 30-50 trees along that property line on Arbor Day. Buckley noted that the evergreens were planted in double rows and should mature within a few years. Council had questions relative to the processing and storage of the liquid tallow and determined they needed more information from a company representative. Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council table Case No. 87-15, to the next regular Council meeting on May 26, 1987, and refer the variance request to the Board of Appeals for their review and recommendation; furthermore, Council requested a representative of Alpo Pet Foods be contacted by staff and requested to appear before the Council at their May 26th meeting to discuss the methods of tallow processing and storage, odor emission from the plant and screening at the rear property line. Motion carried. (5-0) -- -- CASE NO. 87-10; Planner Miller reviewed his report and referred Council SETBACK VAR. , to Planning Commission minutes of 5-6-87 and Board of 1305 TILLER LN. Appeals minutes of 4-23-87. Planning Commission and Board of Appeals recommended denial of the request, based on the inability of both boards to identify a hardship and approval of the request may establish a new setback line by precident. Miller explained the interior floor plan of the home, problems with roof lines in the rear of the home, and eagerness to eliminate the steep driveway prompted the applicant to consider the expansion from the front of the home rather than the rear. Council was referred to the Planning Commission minutes of May 6, which listed the reasons for the applicant's request. After discussion, Council suggested the applicant be encouraged to remOve the two condemned fireplaces in the home and lower the driveway elevation, for their safety, even if approval is not granted. Moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that Council deny Case No. 87-10; Front Setback Variance, 1305 Tiller Lane, rationale for denial being there is no unique identifiable hardship, granted the variance may establish a new setback line by precident and other options for expansion could be explored by the applicant.
