Explanation
Council Variance Amendment: CV15-012A
Ordinance No. 3036-2015, passed February 22, 2016 (CV15-012), was approved in conjunction with Rezoning Ordinance No. 3035-2015 (Z15-011), a request to the AR-1, Apartment Residential District for a 16-unit apartment development. Ordinance # 3036-2015 granted variances for reduced parking and building setback lines. Inadvertently, a variance for Section 3321.05(B)(2), Vision clearance, was left off of the list of requested variances in the Statement of Hardship. This variance was assumed because the building lines were reduced, and the site plan reflected the placement of the building at the northwest corner of North Grant Avenue and Chittenden Avenue which encroaches into the required vision clearance triangle area. This ordinance will replace Ordinance No. 3036-2015 in order to include the necessary variance. No other provisions of Ordinance No. 3036-2015 are changing. Because Chittenden Avenue is a dead-end street, the Public Service Department has no issue with the vision clearance triangle reduction at this intersection.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
