Dear Mr. Ludwig:
As owner of the proposed Milan P.U.D. located at 806 North College Avenue, we are
requesting a variance to the requirement that the project must earn at least 50% of the Maximum
Applicable Points on point Chart D for Auto -Related uses.
The project earns 49% of the applicable points as it is submitted. We feel the requested
variance is justified for the following reasons.
1. The use proposed will become a Use By Right when the North College Plan is adopted
as it is currently written. The plan is proposed to be adopted in the next few months.
2. The site is an existing parcel of land that is being redeveloped. It is not a part of a
planned center and probably never will be since it is completely surrounded by existing
businesses owned by separate owners. The site is not two acres and probably never will
be.
3. Since the site is surrounded by existing separate businesses which have vehicular and
pedestrian access to each other, the immediate area acts like a mixed use center.
4. The owners have provided a shared access to the existing restaurant adjacent to the site
on the South.
5. The owners have intensified the proposed landscaping along College Avenue to
improved the street scape of the neighborhood.
6. The plan eliminates an existing vacant building.
7. The site as submitted is only 1% short of 50%.
If ou have any questions regarding this variance, please call us.
44 AA
