CONSIDER VARIANCE REQUEST #V96-001 REQUESTED FOR 501 WEST FAIRMONT PARKWAY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ALLOWING CONSTRUCTION OF TWO -(2) THIRTY-FIVE FOOT (35') DRIVEWAYS. Mr. Rankin presented staff's report for Vaziance Request #V96-001. Mr. Rankin noted that the Variance was requested by Rudy Hikary, the owner of the property located at 501 West Fairmont Parkway. Mr. Hikary was denied a building permit for construction of a new gas station/convenience store, due to his failure to comply with the driveway design criteria of Zoning Ordinance, Section 10-605. Mr. Rankin informed the Boazd that Mr. Hikary is requesting one (1) thirty-five foot (35') drive on South 4th Street and one (1) thirty-five foot (35') drive on Fairmont Pazkway. Staff s review of the request determined that granting the Vaziance would not be contrary to public interest. ~ Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship for the applicant due to the physical situation of the property, and finally, granting the Vaziance protects the spirit of the Ordinance while protecting public interest. Staff's recommendation to the Boazd was to grant the Vaziance. Jim Zoller disagreed with the statement that the applicant would be burdened with an unnecessary hazdship 6ecow~s~ o~ -{-l;g / Phi s c~,~ 51 ~.~ t o n W~- i ~.~t '~-o '-~ig s~c.i~','c P~ec ~ off' Pro pe.r-}~.
