The adoption of Zoning Ordinance 1501 changed City requirements and structures were now required to have a lazger front yard setback. In order for the overhead crane tracks to be extended from the existing structure to the proposed addition, the property owner requested and was granted Special Exception #SE 88-008. The granting of this Special Exception enabled him to expand his business by adding a 90 X 80' shop and storage area. That addition was attached to and in line with the existing structure on the property. The proposed 90 X 100' roofed over (unenclosed) structure being considered at this time would be located on Lots 1, 2, part of Lot 3 and, part. of the closed West Adams Street right-of--way. As noted on the• exhibit attached, the property owner closed and purchased the street right-of-- ~way in 1995 by Ordinance°#95'=2032-A.
