Ull-65 Company to construct a concrete building, in accordance
with the proposal approved by Use Permit Ull-65, granted
on March 19, 1965, to allow the expansion of.an existing
non-conforming industrial use in an M-L District. The
addition will also involve approval of a variance to
allow a reduction in sideyard setbacks and an increase
in allowable lot coverage.
Comm., Daly reported that he and two other Cnmmisssioners
had made an on-site inspection of the fa . cilities and con-
eluded the proposed construction would be a definite
improvement to the area.
Comm. Schmelz expressed concern that granting a variance
might set a precedent for other businesses located in
the area. Mr. McGivern said thO-. concern of the Planning
Commission is the use of the la namely, providing for
a hide storage plant and whethei or not the Commission
elects to continue this use. The Board of Zoning Adjust-
ments will consider the variance request at a subsequent
meeting.
