The rest of the landscape require-ments will be complied with. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The building is existing. The change of use from restaurant to hair salon requires that the property be brought into compliance with the parking code. However, the building is located only 41 feet from the north lot line. In order to provide the 5 foot landscape strip and the parking stalls and driveway, the building would have to be 46 feet from the lot line. Therefore, the building would have to be moved or the parking would have to be eliminated. All other requirements of the parking code will be complied with. --- Staff comments: Appeal 2025 --- 726 W Mountain Ave --- Petitioner: Charles Cote --- Zone: NCL --- Section 29-119 (4 ) --- The variance would reduce the required rear yard setback from 15 feet to 5 feet for a new detached, two-car garage, in the NCL zone. The new garage will replace the existing one-car garage. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The existing garage is small and encroaches into the side yard setback. The petitioner desires to demolish it and build a new, two-car garage. The building can' t be located any further to the south, because it is necessary to maintain adequate distance between the garage and the house in order to get cars in and out of the building. --- Staff comments: Appeal 2025 --- 1200 Windsor Road --- Petitioner: Craig Jobe --- Zone: RLP / --- Section 29-459 ( 1 ) The variance would allow a home occupation to be conducted with two employees, who don't reside in the home, instead of the one employee allowed by the code.

The property is in the NCL zone. --- Petitioner ' s statement of hardship: The building is old and has been in this location for about 40 years . A lean-to addition recently collapsed and the owner would like to rebuild it, using the existing walls. By changing the roof trusses, the hope if to make it a two-car garage. However, the building will be the exact same size as prior to the collapse and will be reconstructed on the existing concrete pad. --- Staff comments: Appeal 2028 --- 1220 S College Ave --- Petitioner: Kevin & Ed Zdenek --- Zone: BL --- Section 29-595 (C) The variance would increase the maximum height requirement for a 36 square foot freestanding sign, at a 7 foot setback, from 13 feet to 15 feet. The variance would allow the current pole-mounted sign to remain in its present location. The property is located in the BL zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The petitioner requested a variance on March 12, 1992 to convert the sign to a ground sign and allow it to encroach into the required sight distance triangle. The variance was not approved, and the petitioner is now modifying the request. Moving the sign back enough in order to allow the 15 foot height would result in loss of sign visibility due to large pine trees and traffic signs and apparatus. Lowering the sign results in an encroachment into the sight distance triangle. --- Staff comments:
