429 Variance Appl.No.l185 Eleanor M. Bowman Extension of time Variance Appl.No.1195 E. W. Stenlund Extension of time Variance Appl.No .1243 Anna P. Jensen Reso.No. 60-75 Granting Variance refer to Reso.No.60-86) Ou motion of Councilman Gould, seconded by Hubbard and carried., ninety-day exten- sions of time were granted, as recommended by the Planning Commission, on the following Variance Applications: ~th expiration date of April 5,1 Variance Application No. 1185, granted October 5, 1959,/to Eleanor M. Bowman, to permit an incroase in the number of paying rest hc~e guests~ from six to ten, on property at 617 Orange Avenue, in the R-1 District, and Variance Application No. 1195, granted Mov~nber 2, 1959, with expiration date of May 2, 1960, to E. W. Stenltmd, to permit establishment of a neighborhood shOp- ping center on property at the southeast corner of Berrydale Street and Trask Avenue, in the R-1 District. Co~m~unication was again read from the Plannin~ Commission recommending denial of Variance Application No. 1243, filed by Anna P. Jensen, to establish parking lots on property at 1813 and 1817 W. 16th Street, in the R-2 District, and to waive the ten-foet rear-yard requirement on property at 1832 W. 17th Streets in the C-1-P~ District. Councilman Hubbard disqualified himself on this matter. Warren Sikora, i 401 W. 8th Street, representing Mms. Kirkpatrick, reaffirmed his client's protesta- tions that granting the Variance would project the first Co~nercial property into residential district. When the Variance ;*as originally denied by the Plannin~ Cc~- mission, it was not thought to be a transition area, and we have two R-2 lots whichl are being pretested, benefitting the property owners on 17th Street in a C-i-PK zone. The people in the area firmly believe it will adversely affect the value of their property and are requesting denial of the Variance. CounciLman Gould said he had talked with two property owners who mainly objected to the ingress and egress on 16th Street which would cause an increase in traffic, and stated the walls be- tween the property would be no different than residential property and would not cause a depreciation. Birdina Anderson, 1829-31 W. 16th Street, stated this was a desirable area for duplexes but not for a parking lot. Leroy Brackman, 1806 W. 16t$ Street, protested if this Variance is granted there would be no assurance that in- net gress and egress would/be permitted on 16th Street. ~rs. Lester Beck, 1835 W. 16th!ii Street, objected to the property becoming Cc~mercial and the confusion and noise cars coming in and out of the parking lot. Councilman Gould stipulated the condi- tion that'a six-foot brick wal~ be built and a planter ares provided and maintained Councilmen Brewer remarked it would be a hardship on the people on 16th Street, and they have a valid excUse to protest the parking lot. CounciLman Heinly maintained we have experienced inadequate parking for some time and with ingress and egress on 16th Street and a fenced area, this should not prove detrimental to the neighbors. Councilman Gould stated with proper precautions we can keep the integrity of the community and provide the extra parking if vehicles are kept off 16th Street and ~ proper landscaping and maintenance are provided. Mayor Hall cc~mented he had visited the area several times and this would be a parking lot next to another one, backing up to C~,~ercial establishments, and since it is next to the Church, the property will not go Commercial. The Council having unanimously waived the reading of the Resolution, on motion of Councilman Heinly, seconded by Gould and carried, the following Resolution entitled: "Resolution No. 60-7~ granting Variance on Application No. 1243 filed by Anna P. Jensen where Planning Co~nission recommended denial" was considered and passed by the following vote: Ayes, Councilmen Noes, Councilmen Absent, Councilmen Not Voting~ Councilnmn Stanley C. Gould, Jr., Dale H. Heinly, A. A. Hall Bob Brewer None Royal E. Hubbard
