C � � June 4, 1969 CASE NG`: APPLICAi�1T: LOCAT 10 N: 514-69 Western Oil Company 1 West of Lexington Avenue�, North of Rose f'laza Shopping Center (See Sk etcf,) ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Variances in Relatic,n to New Service Station on Old Site PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The appl icant proposes to tear down the e�:isting service station and c�on- struct a new facility on the site which has 183.21 feet of frontage ori Lexington Avenue and a depth of 196034 feet. The applicant proposes to construct, in addition to the normal service station facilities, a 2,7,000 square foot retail space which would function in conjunction with the retailing of gasoline as is done in many service stations today. We have met with the applicant on occasions at the Village Hall and have attempted to revise the site plan so as to make it funct�on better and reduce the varipnces proposed, In general, we feel that the revised plan represents a workable solution on the property in question for the proposed use. 2.

This improvement is contemplated in the near future, and thus accommodation for this right-of-way is essential o The design shows a proposed property line 16 1/2 feet to the west of the existing property line and the design is done with this new right-of-way in linee There is a question, however, as to whether or not the additional right-of-way is to be required for dedication as a part of the approval of the variances or whether accommodation should merely be made for its future purchaseo 3. One of the variances requested is that of a setback of 25 feet to the canopy rather fhan the 30 feet required by the ordinanceo The canopy would be 8 1/2 feet from the future property line (25 feet from the existing property I ine) e The pump islands proposed are 25 feet from the new property I ine as required by ordinance, 4. In the revised plan, the single pedestal sign is shown located the required 6 feet from the existing proper•ty I ineo However, some thought should be
