• Nov�mber 8, 1983 -2- 4} Mathe��s. Mark Mathews was in representir.� Group W Cable Company, and showed us a plan indicatin g the tentative location of air conditioning and heating units to be placed on the roof of the old Owasso School building. We said that we would view the site and determine which of those units would have to be screened, in accordance with the special use permit which was issued for their use of the site for Group W offices, studio, and storage space. They will return lai:er for more specific i�structions regarding units where screening will be required. 5) Westerlund - 529-9551. Kaye and Dean Westerlund have previously submitted a site plan for the development of a new office building at the northwest corner of Lexington and Sandhurst. This plan was approved with a variance to the rear yard setback, but conformed to the parking lot setback requirements on Sandhurst. They have now accurately located several large trees on the north side of the lot which would have to be removed if the building is placed within 15 feet of the north property lin.�. They, therefore, want to move the building further south, which would require a reduction in the parking setback from 15 feet to 10 feet. We noted that wc do not have the facility to approv� the reduced setback without processin g a varianc�; though we app reciate the objective of attempting to save these large, mature trees. We discussed alt�rnate solutions, not involving a setback chang�. They are going to consider their options, and �ossibly apply for the variance to save the trees. • 6) Barraclough - 636-9000. Scott Barraclough is considering additional development on the Harry Kath land at the southeast corn er of Roselawn and Lexington. Portions of t}�is land are zoned II-3, B-1, and B-2. Protruding into this are a, zoned commercial, is a residential-zoned lot. We suggested that in accordance with the Com��reiiensive Plan, tD�is lot could be rezoned for commercia� purposes. we cautioned them regarding an attemgt to rezonc� the B-1 land to either of the other 8 zones becau�e of it beinq contiguous to a single-family 1ot. We suggested he consider the d�velopment plan, and visit with us further when such preliminary plans have been p rnpared. 7) Tucci - 771-�704. Ed Walfort owns a residential lot on the east side of I,angdon Lahe, and Jack Tucci is l�is builc�er. They prok�ose to put a second floor on tilis house, and extend a balcony east�rly towarc� the lake. Th�y presenked sketci� plans af ttie second floor of t}ie liousc, with an 8' balcony extending toward the lake, whicl� they elaim is necessa ry in order to g�t furniture to the second Ploor because they are putting in a small, circular staix as access from the first floor to the second floor. They claim �.he house is too small t�o accommodate a regular stair. We expre�sed concern about buildi.ng a balcony toward the lake at t11e second floor level, wlien the house is already extremely close to the lake shore. Tt�c proposal could b� process�d in a minor variance and a shoreline zoning application. We also discussed the uniinished state of the house that has existed for the last three years, and par�icularly what was to be done with the porch on the south side which was closed in, and lefi: relatively unfinished. This residence has been an eyesore in the neighborhood for some time. Though they l�ad no spEcific plans for the first floor, nor for the clos�d-in porch, � it wo��ld appear a stairway could be built, thus eliminatin g the need to e xtend tlie structure close r to the shoreline than it now is. It also appeared an addition could be put on the home on the north side, though they claim the slope of the land restricts this possibi.lity. There appears to be insufficient evidenc� to warrant a hardship condition on this land, given the circumstances.
