Petitioner:
FMG Engineering for Nooney and Solay LLP
Staff Contact:
Fletcher Lacock, Current Planner III
Location:
414 E. Omaha Street
Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Variance request to reduce the minimum required front yard setback from 25 feet to 0 feet along Racine Street. There is an existing commercial structure located on the property with a 0 foot setback along Racine Street. The applicant has indicated that the existing property will be platted in the future. A Design Exception from the Infrastructure Design Criteria Manual was previously granted to waive the requirement to dedicate additional right-of-way along Racine Street in association with a Preliminary Subdivision Plan (File #16PL095). A stipulation of approval of the Exception required that the applicant enter into a Covenant Agreement securing the timing of the dedication of right-of-way. This allows the applicant to continue using the entire building until the right-of-way is needed and a portion of the building is removed. When the right-of-way is dedicated, a new lot line is being established requiring a minimum 25 foot setback for existing or proposed structures be provided. In anticipation of dedicating the right-of-way, the applicant is requesting this Variance to minimize the area of the structure that must be removed.
