- 9 - Discussion Mr. Eagles indicated that he would be willing to recommend approval of these four variances, but that in the future, he would be ve~y reluctant to vote in favor of similar requests by Ban-Con for variances where they could construct a house which would fit the lot. Mr. V. Johnson indicated that he would rather grant a variance only on the lot where the basement is started and hold off on the other three lots until we have informa- tion as to the side yard setbacks of the adjacent homes. Mr. V. Johnson and Mrs. Demos indicated that they were in favor of granting the variance for the home located at 528 Iona Lane, but were opposed to the variances on the other three lots. Recommendation Mr. Membrez moved and Mr. Eagles seconded, that the Commission recommend approval of Ban-Con, Inc., request for variance to side yard setback at 560, 528 and 544 Iona Lane and 573 Woodhill Drive. Roll Call, Ayes: Membrez, Eagles, Kellett, G. Johnson and Pope. Nays: Demos and V. Johnson. Planning File 685 - Kath Brothers request for rezoning from B-1 to R-l to B-2 and variance to parking requirement at 2425 North Rice Street. Presentation Mr. Harry Kath and Mr. Carl Lien were present at the meeting. Mr. Lien indicated that the gas station located on the southeast portion of the property would be remodeled and approved on the exterior. It is hoped that perhaps the gas company will agree to constructing a new building on the site. The present oil business located on the parcel will be removed. Mr. Lien indicated that all four sides of the building would be no outside areas for the storage of rubbish, but that each individual store leasee would keep his rubbish within his building. Discussion Mr. Dwinell indicated that under the existing Village ordinance, the proposed project would require approximately 640 parking spaces. The proposal will provide for 370 spaces. Additional spaces could be provided if the pond to the westerly portion of the property were filled. It was Mr. Dwinell's opinion that a parking formula similar to the Dayton formula would perhaps be more applicable for the development. This for- mula would require 476 parking spaces. These spaces could be provided if the existing pond area were utilized for parking. Mr. Dwinell suggested th~t rather than fill the pond, it might be a more reasonable approach to allow the developer to construct the 370 parking spaces and approve the variance with the condition that if the Village should determine that additional parking spaces are necessary, that the developer would assure that the parking spaces be provided. Recommendation Mr. Membrez moved and Mr. Eagles seconded, that the Commission recommend approval of Kath Brothers's request for rezoning from B-1 and R-l to B-2 and variance to parking requirement at 2425 North Ric~ Street with the condition that if the Village Manager determines, in the future, that additional parking is necessary, the developer shall assure that the needed parking be provided. Roll Call, Ayes: Membrez, Demos, Eagles, Kellett, G. Johnson, V. Johnson and Pope. Nays: None.
