ROCKY MOUNTAIN BATTERY AND RECYCLING - #51-89 Ted Shepard gave the staff report recommending approval. Member Strom indicated his concern centered on the best method to accomplish this proposal. He felt perhaps a rezoning was better than granting a variance. He believed to qualify for a variance the applicant must 1) prove hardship due to the current situation, and 2) show no adverse public effect will result. Member O'Dell questioned the difference in the process for the two methods, wondering why the PUD was pursued, and indicated a hardship was suffered because the applicant could not meet all point chart requirements. Mr. Shepard replied that recycling would be a use by right in the IG Zone. The PUD process was pursued because it offered site plan review, and the applicant felt the use was appropriate for the location as well as time considerations. • Member Kern also shared Member Strom's views and felt rezoning more desirable. Member Burns moved to approve this project including the granting of the variance. Member O'Dell seconded the motion. The motion to approve this !tern passed 7-0.

Mr. H. N. Brandenhoff, 1709 Remington, owner of the property to the north of the driveway, asked for clarification on the s-shaped access and whether he could have access to his backyard from the proposed parking area. Mr. Herrera indicated two properties to the south had been donated four months ago by Stormwater Utilities. The non -approved casements were terminated and the flag lot casement on the north created. Regarding the use of the property to access Mr. Brandenhoff's land, Mr. Herrara replied it would be up to the new owner but the Authority could put forth the recommendation that an access be granted. Mr. Shepard indicated the PUD could possibly be amended administratively, or the suggestion could go through the Planning and Zoning Board.
