right-of-way that is being taken. No changes to the site
' - f-7 '' '' 1--`'" '- 7 or building are proposed at this time. The owner is
requesting these variances to bring the property into compliance as a part of the right-of-way taking These variances
should not be injurious to adjacent property owners or the community. No negative, public comments have been
submitted about this project at this time. The Department is in support of these variances.
Findings of Fact
1. The approval of these variances will not be injurious to the public health,safety,morals,and general
welfare of the community because: it will allow for the continued operation of the existing business, and a
reduction in the buffer along the 1-465 exit ramp and the build-to line will be the only change to the use.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because: this business already exists and these variances only apply to the portion
of the property that abuts the I-465 exit ramp.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property because: it would require major changes to the existing site which could
make the current use of the property difficult.
Recommendation.
After all comments and concerns have been addressed. the Dept. of Community Services recommends approval of
Docket Nos. 12070012 V and 12070013 V.
