In sumary, it would be difficult, if not impassible for this building to adhere to Section
3.5.3 (B) (2) (b) as outlined in the Land Use Code. The Building will adhere to the intent of the
Plan when it is occupied and the landscaping and building improvements and addition are completed.
The building as it sits does have an existing pedestrian crosswalk, which is paint -stripped for
visibility at this tip, which is the direct access from the public sidewalk to the Rain entry
of the building. For the reasons stated above, the applicant hereby requests approval of the
modification requested above.
Should you have any questions or heed any further information, please contact Re at 221-0499.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,

RE: Project Development Modification Request
3901 So. Mason St.
Dear Mr. Ludwig;
19 Oct. 1998
The above -mentioned property is currently under contract to be purchased by the Salvation Army and
the use is to be changed from an electronics retail store to a church.
This project complies with the development standards except for Section 3.5.3 (B) (2) (b) of the
land Use Code.
Section 3.5.3 (B) (2) (b) of the land Use Code states that the buildings shall be located no
more than 15 feet from the right -of -ray of an adjoining street if the street is smaller than
a full arterial or has off-street parking. Mason street is not an arterial street and the
existing building is located 62`feet from the right-of-uay.
Pursuant to Section 2.7.1 of the Land Use Code, '"Ihe Planning and Zoning Board is empowered to
grant modifications to the General Development Standards contained in Article 3 and the Land Use
Standards snd Development Standards contained in Article 4 and any separation or proximity standards
that are established as a specific measurement of distance in the District Permitted Uses contained
in Article 4."
In compliance with Section 2.7.3 of the Land Use Code, the applicant hereby requests a modification
of the standards to Section 3.5.3 (B) (2) (b) of the land Use Code.
The granting of this request would be neither detrimental to the public good nor impair the intent
and purposes of the land Use Code. The plan as submitted will protect the public interests and
purposes of the standards for which the modification is requested.
In support of this statement, the applicant notes that the building is existing. It is not feasible
or practical to tear down the existing building and construct a new building that is 15 feet from
the right-of-vay. This is an adaptive reuse of an existing building that is only 4 years old and
complied with all of the previous codes and ordinances.
