<br />T'h,e 1-1 District requires a setback of 60 feet for the building and 40
<br />feet for, the parking area when contiguous to a residential district as Is
<br />J i i
<br />the case on the west, side of the, property. Thus, the building is
<br />setback properly and the parking 'is setback a distance of 110 feet. In
<br />the proposed condition, the building will remain the same, but a part, of
<br />the loading area wi,ll be moved west so as to be setback 60 feet,
<br />Thus, the, proposal is within Ordinance guidelines.
<br />Another prolvi,stion of' the Ordinance, Section 10.240 states that "no
<br />loading berth for vehicles, over 2 ton capacity shall be closer than
<br />100 feet to any residence,
<br />8 districts unless completely enclosed by
<br />0,
<br />a build�in,g wall,si not less than feet, in height".
<br />The building as originally constructed conforms to this requirement.
<br />However, the two new loadi,nIg doors proposed appear to be about 8 feet
<br />from the west property line (nearest, residence d1strict)* However, no
<br />exact lociation for, these doors is noted on the Plans.
<br />Thiere is
<br />a substantial change 'in gra,de from the loading area in
<br />question
<br />to the
<br />residential. area, to the west,, Thus,
<br />to a degree, the
<br />8 foot
<br />elevation noted "in the Ordinance may be
<br />partially fulfilled.
<br />The
<br />solution
<br />here is in adequately landscapi , ng the
<br />slope and the area
<br />of land
<br />bletw,eien
<br />the n�ew lioading area and the residential distri ct to the west.
<br />e
<br />This area, was subist,antiial,ly landscapd,, but
<br />tihi,s was removed
<br />'
<br />in the
<br />process
<br />of regrading the land.
<br />No landscape pil,an ha,s been submitted, thou�glih the applicant notes intent
<br />to accomplish such landscaping i,n a letter.
<br />The engineers note in their reploIrit that there are no problems with
<br />riespecit to the proposed changes on the site. The expanded loading area
<br />must be in asphalt or concrete and surrounded by Poured-in-place
<br />concrete curib. Drainage should be subject, to final approval by the
<br />Engineering Depart,men�t.
