AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Consideration of a request to extend a conditional variance to the
parking requirement at 315 University in the name of Edward Walsh.
Mr. MacGilvray spoke of the history of the conditional variance which had been granted ~
for this location In the past (1981 & 1982) and quoted the current pol icy regarding the
moratorium as adopted by the Council this September 22, 1983, explaining that he is now
under the assumption that no parking variances can be granted to any business which would
create a more intense use of a building than is already existing.
Mrs. Kee then stated that the applicant may want to address the Board concerning whether
he is asking for a variance for as long as he has a lease on this business, or for a
continuation of the variance as has been given in the past. General discussion followed
concerning the development or repair this applicant had made to the parking lot as re-
quired by this Board.
Edward Walsh, applicant, was sworn In and reiterated that he has a lease until 1989 and
gave the background of all the past parking variances granted, stating that he had paved
18 parking spaces on the lot and designated that 6 of those spaces are for his business,
then stated that he would like to receive a variance for this business for the life of
his lease. Mr, Upham p6lnted out that the variance goes to the land, and not ·to the appli-
cant or the Individual after which Mr. Walsh asked the Board to amend his request to a
permanent variance, Mr. Upham then made a motion to authorize a permanent variance to the
parking requirements at 315 University (Section 7) from the terms of this ordinance as .
it will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the following unique and special
conditions of the land not normally found in like districts: There are no 1 ike districts
In the City; and because a strict enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would
result in unnecessary hardship to this applicant, and such that the spirit of this ordi-
nance shall be observed and substantial justice done. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Wagner, and passed unanimously (5-0).
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Consideration of a request to extend a conditional variance to the
parking requirement at 411 University in the name of Lone Star Yogurt.
Mrs. Kee explained that ·ln July 1982 a conditional one year variance was granted to the ·
property, but to a different applicant, and when this business -developed at that location,
staff determined If the use was the same, the same variance would apply. Mr. Upham stated
that this is essentially the same case as was last considered, but Mr. MacGilvray pointed
out that Mr. Walsh -had a designated parking area with his lease and wondered if the same
situation would apply In this case. Mr. MacGilvray then made a motion to remove this
item from Its tabled position. Mr. Wendt seconded. Motion carried unanimously (5-0).
Cosmos Guido, appl leant came forward, was sworn in and gave the background-of the business
stating that in August of this year, he had run a survey of patrons for 19 days to deter-
mine just how many people drove/walked to the business. He gave f1gures indicating a
total of 536 people were surveyed, 308 indicated they had walked, 34% drove, and 8% had
driven to the area to another store, and had dropped In to this business. He stated that
In his opinion, this business does not create a parking problem in the area, and the re-
sults of his survey back this up. Mr, Upham reminded the Board that the variance goes with
the land, and Mr. MacGllvray pointed out this is a part of a building which has some park-
ing and wondered how many were designated for this buslnes~. Mrs. Camp was sworn in,
ld~ntl.Jylng herself as the own.er of the building and stated there is a total of 28 spaces
in the rear of this building, but that none had been designated specifically to this
business, as none had been · requested, Mr. MacGilvray stated that the study committee had
suggested that employee parking be provided elsewhere, and referred to the last case which
