Approval of the minutes of the meeting of February 15, 1977: Hughey moved that the minutes be approved as read. The motion was seconded by Storts and unanimously approved. 2. Consideration of a request for variance from Dr. James R. Bradley at 209 Dominik Drive: This item was deferred to-allow time for Dr. Bradley's representative to be present. 3. Consideration of a request for variance from Mr. Phil Springer at 801 University Drive. Koehler stated that the application was for expansion of a non-conforming use rather than a variance as shown on the agenda. Mr. Springer said that the value of the addition was about 12q. of the value of the structure, thgt the sign did not conform to the size and height limits established in December of 1976 and was intended to advertise a drive-thru service permitted prior to that time and requiring a substantial investment. Weiss observed that the value of the expansion was within the limits provided by ordinance. Board members concurred that the addition proposed would not increase the extent of non-conformity in any substantial way and would not prolong the like of the structure. Weiss moved that the permit be approved. The motion was seconded by Hughey and unanimously approved. 2. Consideration of a request for variance from Dr. James R. Brad y at 209 Dominik Drive: Koehler explained that the ordinance required greater parking for a medical clinic than for a retell commercial use and presented Dr. Bradley's application. He said that he had been contacted by two nearby owners who said that they had no objection to the request. The Board noted the following points: i• r~ -- There was no nearby on-street parking for overflow -- Development of adjacent lots would be adversley effected by persons attempting to perk on other's property. -- The building layout indicates a possibility of expansion of the prac- tice by employing additional assistants, increasing parking requirements beyond the present estimate. -- A future owner or practicioner could change the nature of the practice to operate without appointments and thrs increase parking requirements. -- The Board agreed to defer action until the meeting of April 19, 1977 in order that the applicant might have a chance to respond and directed the Building Official to inform the applicant. 4. Other Business: There was no other business. 5. Adiourn: Ringer moved that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Storts and unanimously approved.
