1325.05 Subd. 8.E.1 <br />At least fifty percent (50%) of the largest building on each site shall be constructed at the front <br />setback line. <br />FLEXIBILITY REQUEST: Mister requests flexibility regarding this code section. Due to the narrowness <br />of the site (-125'), the building must be laid out west to east, with the tunnel exit fronting Lexington <br />Avenue. With the building at the setback line, the exit drive from the tunnel would terminate across <br />from an existing driveway median, creating an unsafe and impossible condition for customers to <br />turn left and re-enter the site to utilize the vacuums and/or patronize adjacent businesses. <br />Additionally, the exit driveway would encroach into the twenty (20') foot parking and landscape <br />setback. <br />Mister has sited the building approximately 30' back from the building setback line, which is as close <br />to the building setback line as possible, while still allowing for safe maneuvering at the tunnel exit <br />and throughout the site. <br />Jr --- t- — <br />-------------------- <br />— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — I <br />NMI - <br />—130'-3N i U, <br />BLDG. <br />I <br />35'-0' _ <br />1325.05 Subd. 8.
