Re: Variance Request
Evergreen Park - Office and Vehicle Minor Repair
Lots 15 and 16 of Evergreen Park (parcel #’s 9701213015 and 9701213016)
We would like to request a Modification of Standards to Section 4.28(E)(3)(a)2.
(E) Development Standards
(3) Site Design
(a) Screening
2. A minimum thirty-foot deep landscaped yard shall be provided along all arterial streets,
and along any district boundary line that does not adjoin a residential land use. If a district
boundary line abuts upon or is within a street right-of-way, then the required landscaped yard
shall commence at the street right-of-way line on the district side of the street, rather than at the
district boundary line. This requirement shall not apply to development plans that comply with
the standards contained in Section 3.5.3 of this Code.
Reason: The parcel is bordered on the west by a 20 foot wide alley and the lots to the west of the alley are zoned Service
Commercial District (CS). The Land Use Code (LUC) requires that a minimum 30-foot deep yard shall be provided along
any district line that does not adjoin a residential land use. We ask for a Modification of Standards to allow for a 20 foot
buffer (10 foot half-alley + 10 foot landscape area) with a 6 foot high fence along the entire length of the west property
line. The Raw Urth Designs development at the northwest corner of Conifer Street and Red Cedar Circle was granted a
similar modification.
Thank you for your consideration.
