Hold a Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use request for an Urban InfiIl project to vary the townhome
requirements for a 4 -unit multi - family townhouse at 110 W. 24th Street; Leo C, Nelson, Jr., owner and
representative.
Additional staff recommendations stated by Mr, Gibson were: 1.) the garages are to remain for vehicular use,
not storage and 2) in lieu of a 4 foot wall, enhanced landscaping shall be installed.
Present to speak in opposition were: Linda Miller of 2404 oak Avenue (renters do not have an investment in the
neighborhood), Sharon Swalina of 2316 Park Avenue (concerned about the lot size, opposed to any two -story
structure because it would block the sunlight from her property and it would interfere with her property rights),
Ruthe Depe of 2314 Park Avenue (opposed to rental units and it would take away the privacy for the Park Ave
Villas), William Clayton of 2305 oak Avenue (submitted a petition signed by 30 neighbors, the project does not
meet the townhome standards and there are existing drainage problems in the area), and Henry Sweet of 2300
Oak Avenue (verification on why townhome standards have to be met when apartments are allowed in the
RMOI zoning district, opposed to apartments and this project would disrupt their quality of life).
Mr. Kutz moved to deny the request to vary the townhome standards for a 4 -unit multi -- family townhouse based
on the request not meeting the following Standards for Conditional Use: 1) the design of the proposed
development must minimize adverse effects, including, but not limited to, visual, noise and traffic impacts of the
proposed use on the surrounding properties; 2) the conditional use must be compatible with the nature and
intensity of the development surrounding the premises and with the community character of the immediate
vicinity of the parcel proposed for development; and 3) the location and topography of the premises proposed
for development must make the use an appropriate use which will not adversely affect the public interest. Mr.
Huber seconded. Motion to deny carried 5 to 1, with Mr. Green in opposition to the motion.
