2.4 Boulevard parking spaces are those parking spaces which do not extend at least 20 feet onto the property. Section 602.06 of the City Code prohibits boulevard parking adjacent to a public street. Boulevard parking spaces existing as of June 30, 1984, have been allowed to continue until roadway improvements involving disturbance or removal of the boulevard parking area are undertaken. 3.0 MINOR VARIANCE COMMITTEE 3.1 The request for the variance included the required application form, sketch of the boulevard parking space, written statement from the applicant, and written approval from the adjacent property owners affected by the variance (Kay Wood at 2339 Auerbach Avenue N and Tom Weaver at 2330 Auerbach Avenue N). 3.2 The Minor Variance Committee reviewed this request on June 2, 1997, and unanimously recommended approval of a minor variance to allow the continuance of a boulevard parking space at 2338 Auerbach Avenue N, based on the following findings: 1. The boulevard parking space is listed on the inventory of boulevard parking spaces regularly in use, dated June 30, 1984. 2. A public improvement project being undertaken in 1997 (P-97-02) will involve the disturbance of the boulevard at 2338 Auerbach Avenue N. 3. A 15 foot maple tree would need to be removed in order to extend the boulevard parking space the required 20 feet onto the property. 4. There is no other practical location for an off-street parking area on the property . 5. The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). 6. The variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare. ~ SUGGESTED ACTION 4.1 By motion, approve Clark and Cassie Campbell's request for a minor variance to allow the continuance of a boulevard parking space at 2338 Auerbach Avenue N based on the findings of the Minor Variance Committee outlined in section 3.2 of this report.
