involved cowers a triangular parcel • fronting on East
Washington Street and stretching back to the washing -
ton Creek. The proposed office and administrative
complex is, the second step" of a,thlree stage office/
convalescent hospital /multiple fami y development
which the applicant proposed when originally re-
questing prezoning and annexation.. Mr Frank La-

T.RAVERSI- The Commission reviewed the, vartian`ce.application
MacKENZIE filed by D. Traver:si & G. MacKenzie to allow a 5 ft. °>
FILE V13 -67 front yard setback for a proposed new office building
to be located at 35 - 5th Street:. The staff report"
recommended that-the applicant move the structure
bank an additional 8 ft. and omit two parking spaces
located directly in back of'"the structure to allow
better aceess*to the parking area at the rear of the
lot,. Mr. Traversi was present and,explained to the
Commission that the variance was requested in order
to provide, the offstreet parking in the rear rather
than set the structure back on the lot and the park-
ing spaces" in front. In addition, the substandard
lots in the block would in all probability require
variances wYien :commercial development takes place
and the nonconforming residential structures are
demolished and, this could possibly place their new
building "in a 'hole." Mr. Tr-avers,' also pointed
out that two relatively new s't-ructures in the block
are located directly on the 'sidewalk. Comm. Robert
Koenitzer moved for denial of -the Variance but his
motion died for hack of a second. Following further
discussion, a motion, approving - the variance as
applied for, was introduced by Comm. Perry, seconded
by Comm. Fostmeier:, and passed by the following vote:
Ayes: Fostmeier,, Perry,,Styles: Noes: Koenitzer;
Absent: Battaglia.
