Mr. Sid hiller also said that some lots have'been"made sub.- standard by our current ordinances, the biggest.. problem being the corner lots.,. very few of them left to be built. on now, and would just: need to go with a variance.. _ Sizer asked if it was worth the change for just a few.. lots that might be in this category. Mr. Knutson said it could be handled with a minor variance procedure, which only goes through the City Council and not the planning commission. Sid Miller thinks we should change the side yard setbacks in the Shoreline Overlay District, that they should be the same as the base zoning. He went. on to .say we should just leave our zoning ordinance as it_is and, when- . situation arises, go for a minor variance., when a resident might: want to add on to his house, or whatever. Geisness feels that it should be allowed, to keep the city homes uniform, somewhat. Grohoski mentioned that maybe it should be left up to-the discretion of the Council,:. specifying that Planning District 18 (the perimeter CBD residential area.) receive special treatment:..

Prinz, 11090 16$th St, is opposed to rezoning, stating that then other buildings could be put on the property, once the zoning. is changed. iKs. Betty Hornberger, 16865 Kenmore Ct., wanted: to know what the need is for rezoning. l•ir. Grohoski stated that this Baillif property was rezoned back in 1973 and should not have been, from. commercial to residential. i~ir.

He stated this is a compatible use and asked that we table our recommendation on this matter so that they have time in investigate the requirements in and what is allowed under the ICD Overlay zone, with. the possibility in mind. of with= drawing the rezoning request and substituting a request for conditional use permit. Knutson stated it is a reasonable request in this unique situation. Pir. Darwin Hillman, 16855 Kenmore Ct, said a large garage is a bit ambiguous and is opposed to it. Grohoski stated-that it is proposed to be used for heavy equipment that is now stored openly on the site. The request for zoning is still before us.
