The granting of these modifications would be neither detrimental to the public good nor impair
the intent and purposes of the Land Use Code. The Plan as submitted will advance or protect the
public interests and purposes of the standards for which the modifications are requested equally
well or better than would a plan which complies with the standards for which a modification is
requested.
In support of this statement, the applicant notes that the building is existing and no structural
additions are proposed. It is not feasible or practical for the applicant to tear down the existing
building and construct a new building that is 200 feet from North College Avenue (40 feet from
the existing property line) and 15 feet from Hickory Street. This is an adaptive re -use of an
existing building that has been vacant for more than a year. The proposed landscaping, vehicle
parking and pedestrian access improvements will be significant improvements to the site.
In summary, it would be difficult, if not impossible, for this building to adhere to all standards
outlined in the Land Use Code. The building will however, adhere to the intent of the Plan when
it is occupied and landscaping, building and property improvements are completed. For these
reasons, the applicant hereby requests approval of the modifications outlined above.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at 223-5555.
Sincerely,
VELDMAN MORGAN COMMERCIAL, INC.

Dear Mr. Ludwig:

one year. Mr. Levy intends to purchase the building and use it as his business location for
Exodus Moving and Storage.
This Project Development Plan Request complies with all applicable development standards
except for Section 4.18 (B) (2) (d) (1) and Section 3.5.3 (B) (2) (b) of the Land Use Code.
Section 4.18 (B) (2) (d) (1) states that warehouses and distribution facilities are permitted
in the C-N District provided they are located at least 200 feet from North College
Avenue. The existing building, which the applicant is proposing to occupy, is located 17C
feet from North College Avenue. The eastern property line is located 160 feet from North
College Avenue.
Section 3.5.3 (B) (2) (b) of the Land Use Code states that buildings shall be located no
more than 15 feet from the right-of-way of an adjoining street if the street is smaller than
a full arterial or has on -street -parking. Hickory Street is classified as a collector street on
the Master Street Plan. The existing building is located approximately 60 feet back from
the right-of-way.
Pursuant to Section 2.7.1 of the Land Use Code, "The Planning and Zoning Board is empowered
to grant modifications to the General Development Standards contained in Article 3 and the Land
Use Standards and 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 standards to Section 4.18 (B) (2) (d) (1) and Section 3.5.3 (B) (2) (b) of the Land
Use Code.
