4208 RUCKER AVE BASE FILE 2018-01-02 MF Import

POINT 1. The following are the special circumstances which apply to my property which deprive me of rights and privileges which are enjoyed by other Properties in the vicinity under the identical zone classification. Special circumst:�nces of the type of business for which the proposed building will be used: the business is primarily one of a xholesale/ retail delivery oneration. Retail trade is on a limited basi� and minimal, therefore nct needing Lhe number of parking spaces a primarily retail store would need. Alsn our company has only two employces working inai.de the store. Al1 the way up�E��ergreen Way 90` parking is a1loMed in fromt of commercial buildings which does not meet thr_ requirement of 25' of driveway for 90° parking. Specific instances can be given on request. POINT 2. The variance I am requesting will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the Properties or improvements in the vicinity of e zone in whicli my property is located beause: we will have plenty of parking to adequately take care of our needs and customer requirements. � Please read number 3 first. � If the variance is granted, the two feet on each side of Lhe building ✓ will be more desireable to the pro�erty owners to the North and the South of the lot. � POINT j. If this variance is not granLed� an unnecessary hardshiy r�ill continue to the owner of this property� the cause of which is beyond his control because: we are required to have 9 parking stalls. Due to the size of the lot �ith onln 55' of front footage, we are una6le to fit the required number of parking spaces and still have 3600 square feet of building.. The only possible way of adding one more thnn eight parki�g spaces is to cut a rectangular area 9'xz3' (being 207 square feet ) out of the front North corner of the building, which is prime building exposure With tne cost of land at 828,500.00, this makes a very expensive parking stall. The building with added corners will also cost more to bui1N, as well as detr�ct from the appearance. Another objectionable result of this added parking stall is having the Uuilding only o:ne foot from thc property line on each side, making the building 3579 square feet. By making thnt parking area part of tlie building we would ha�'e Lwo feet on each side of the property line and still have 51� of store front. The total squar� footage would Lhen be 3679, only %9 feet ovec the amount for a 9 stall ��arking requirement. Our request is to allow the 79 square feet and one less parking stall. ✓ One added comment is the fact that there is parnlleL parking preser.tly in existence on Rucker. PO]:NT 4• So as not to grant a special privilege to m�a by the granting of this variance I submit the following conditions to be imPosed so as not to cuaee inconsistencies with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and �one in whicl: I am located. The fact that the business i9 primarily a wliolesale/:etail delivery operation requiring less park.ing tltan normal retail stores.
