Mr. Sergio Klotz, Associate Planner, displayed slides, presented the staff report and recommendation. Mc Dominic Kovacevic, representing Homeplace Shopping Center, distributed a booklet providing an overview of the different phases of construction of the hazdwaze store and a description of the present proposal. He indicated that he believed there were some discrepancies in the staff report and resolution. The applicant was only requesting a vaziance to allow outdoor storage and had not requested a variance for a reduction in pazking. In addition, Mr. Kavacevic explained that the azea would be self-parked and why a pazking vaziance was not needed. Mr. Adams responded that staff did not calculate ancillary storage sepazate from retail space. Staff's formula for calculating retail pazking spaces is based upon gross squaze footage of the building and ' according to those calculations the center did require a pazking variance. Commissioner Mondo stated that he was in favor of the project, however, he asked Mr. Kovacevic why the chain link fence on the property had not been removed as required per wde. Mr. Kovacevic responded that there had previously been a deteriorated chain length fence at the site. The deteriorated fence was replaced with the new chain link fence during construction to protect the landscaping that had been planted. He indicated that it was the intention of the applicant to let the chain link fence remain until the landscaped hedges fully matured; approximately one to two years. Mr. Adams informed the Commission that the chain link fence was not grandfathered in with the project; that the chain link fence was in violation with code. Mr. Kavacevic also noted a letter enclosed in the booklet dated Mazch 6, 1998 from Senior Planner, Linda Hale and expressed his concern regarding a statement, made in the letter, that the City would not support any future requests for pazking vaziances for the shopping center.
