WILLIAMS although the Planning Commission approved VA 71-51 filed by Chadron L. Williams, the staff recommended denial, and requested a report from the Director of Planning. Mr. Wieland stated that this problem was created with the widening of First Street; that;the City paid for a building in which the applicant was doing business, with the stipulation it be removed. The building was moved back onto a piece of property which the applicant purchased from the City, and in addition, a new building was erected to the easterly section of the lot, making it impossible to meet parking requirements even by eliminating landscaping. The Commission believed that by removing the requirement for landscaping, additional parking could be achieved. The only landscaping will be two planter boxes on First Street. Councilman Patterson stated that with the variance, they still would be six parking spaces short of the requirement; that it appeared the shortage of parking was created by moving the old building and erecting the new one, and moved to set the matter for public hearing. The motion was seconded by Councilman Markel, and carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Patterson, Markel, Evans, He rrin None Villa, Griset, Yamamoto CITY COUNCIL -358- November 1, 1971
