Mr. Porter has requested a twenty (20) foot variance in
the front yard and a 13.4 foot variance in the rear yard
for the purpose of erecting additional restaurant facilities.
Mr. Risner was called on to read from the Zoning Ordinance
Article XI, Section 4, C -1 Commercial Zone, stating there
should be a front yard of not less that twenty (20) feet
and a rear yard of not less than twenty (20) feet.
Mr. Risner stated that because of the shape of the lot
there would be two front yard variances due to the lot
also facing Osceola Drive, meaning a front yard variance
on Osceola Drive of twenty (20) feet and a front yard
variance on French Avenue of eighteen (18) feet.
Mr. Davis stated this would be an addition of 5,000
square feet seating approximately two hundred people.
Mr. Gutmann stated this addition would not effect the
off - street parking requirements.
Mr. Gutmann explained that the request for a front yard
variance on French Avenue would be for the purpose of
providing a covered entrance for the patrons. Their
plans call for a new driveway off French Avenue through
an open canopy, therefore, providing attendent parking.
Mr. Porter has a letter from the City granting him the
use of City owned property abutting on the North side of
his property for beautification purposes. Therefore the
variance would not effect the abutting property owner.
After considerable discussion it was moved by Mr. Philips
that a twenty (20) front yard variance and a thirteen
feet four inches (13.4) rear yard variance be granted,
seconded by Mr. Karns and carried with a unanimous vote.
A second motion was made by Mr. Julian that the eighteen
(18) foot front yard variance on French Avenue be granted,
with the condition that the canopy always remain open,
III seconded by Mr. Philips and duly carried.
