• Board of Adjustment Minutes of May 10, 1990 Page 3 of 4 CJ Joel Albrecht presented the staff's report on the Special Exception Request #SE90-001. The applicant on behalf of Roelof 's is Judy Nieuwenhuis, owner. The Nieuwenhuis are requesting a special exception which would allow the required ten (10) foot side setback adjacent to a public right-of-way to be reduced to zero feet and further allow the maximum lot coverage of 40~ to be increased to 660. The existing building occupies approximately 2,295 square feet or 38~ of the total lot area. The eastern face of the building is located on the property line which is the south 2nd street R-O-W boundary. There is no setback from the property line along the face of the building. The proposed addition would extend this building line. The proposed setback is in conflict with the ten (10) foot setback requirement of Footnote #3 to Section 6-500, Table B. Paragraph b.3 of the Zoning Ordinance Section 11-605.2 states a Special Exception may be granted "to deviate yard requirements in the following circumstances:. . A yard exception on corner lots." Setback and lot coverage, as "yard issues," are both eligible to be considered for Exception under the provisions of this paragraph. Under the provisions of this paragraph, the applicant's request to have off street parking waived, can be considered by the Board. This request satisfied the pre-requisites of Zoning Ordinance Section 11-605 and is therefore eligible to be considered for a special exception. Dr.~ Bernay swore in Judy Nieuwenhuis who is representing Roelof's. Mrs. Nieuwenhuis stated to the Board they wished to add on to existing Main Street commercial building in a manner which is consistent with typical existing Main Street r_ommercial buildings. This would include side setbacks typical of Main Street development, lot coverage typir_al of Main Street and parking arrangements typical of Main Street. Mrs. Nieuwenhuis also told the Board they were requesting a reduced side yard setback adjacent to South 2nd Street to zero (0) feet, increasing allowable lot coverage to 66~ and also to waive off street parking requirements.
