Legacy Tractor
Modification to a Standard
We are requesting Modification to a Standard for two aspects of this proposed development.
Modification 1:
SECTION 3.5.3(C)(2): Build to line.
The proposed future addition will be 3'-8" in front of the east edge of the existing building. Customer vehicle parking has
been relocated to the north, or side, of the future addition. We are requesting an exemption to SECTION 3.5.3(C)(2)(a)
because of the continuation of the current building/sidewalk relationship established by the existing building and hardship
created by the physical location of the existing building in accordance with SECTION 2.8.2(H)(3). Building #PH1
utilizes the existing building for vehicle sales and maintenance. Future additions designated Buildings #PH2 and #PH3
extend north from this existing building. By constructing future additions immediately adjacent to the existing building
we can maximize efficiencies within the buildings and maintain the current building/sidewalk relationship common to this
and adjacent properties. A pedestrian connection walkway and outdoor pedestrian plaza space utilizing the existing gas
station canopy will be created between the existing building and the North College Avenue sidewalk.
Modification 2:
SECTION 4.22(B)(2)(d)1 & 5: Building Setback.
The future warehouse facility located to the west of the existing building and future expansions will be located less than
200' from North College Avenue. During recent improvements to North College Avenue the City acquired 18' of R.O.W.
Because of the location of necessary storm water drainage infrastructure and City mandated future east-west connecting
road (Farkas Place) there is little area to develop on the west side of the property. If the city had not taken the 18' of
R.O.W. and mandated the future connecting road, a building site in compliance could have been identified. In reference
to SECTION 2.8.2(H)(3) these events created exceptional physical conditions unique to this property. We also believe
granting this modification would not be detrimental to the public good in that the warehouse building would be located
behind the primary buildings on North College Avenue and a screening fence.
