PASTi-:-R, ENTERPRISES, CASE" 1664i <br />S <br />4* The proposed shopping center, conforms to all requirements except <br />that <br />the dedication of an addlitional 16.5 feet of right-of-way on the <br />west <br />,side of Lexington A,vlein�ue pushes the parking back to the extent <br />that <br />Center would be undevelopable as a shopping center. The staff <br />has <br />rieviewed this problem with the applicants and has suggested that <br />they <br />apply for a variance so as to not have a setback of the new parking <br />lot curb to the expanded right-of-way line. This is the same solution <br />that was evolved wi,th the s�ho i <br />pping center, to the south when the <br />new <br />Texaco Station was constructed. The solution evolved at that time <br />was <br />for the developer to dedicate 16.5 feet of right -of -way for which <br />the <br />City reduced the parking setback from 1,5 feet to U feet. <br />40 <br />dedication of a 16.51 stri I p of property zoned B-2 in a location such <br />as this 'is of considerable monetary consideration. If the parking area <br />were to be setback an additional 15 feet, as, would normally be <br />required,, the shallowi depth of the proplerty makes i,t extremely difficult <br />to develop a good shopping centier,, <br />601 You will <br />notice <br />in this case by examining the site plan, <br />that the <br />architelct <br />has undulated the front facladle of the shops, creating <br />a rather <br />uniquely <br />c'ov,e�red <br />environment, at the shop f'rontaig�e. All this <br />could be <br />reduced 'I <br />all6ving <br />for additional se't,back for the parking area, <br />but the <br />change off would <br />likely be aesthetically deleterious.1 <br />
