Re: Encroachment Request - Morss Property at Third
and Main
This request is for use of the Third Street right -of -way
as private parking to reduce the non - conformity of an
historic building which the applicant is remodeling.
Several possibilities have been discussed by the applicant
and engineering. The engineering department's concerns
are to maintain a standard five foot sidewalk area, to
restrict the use of continuous curb cuts and to use the
alley as access. The last two items will maximize
on- street parking and eliminate the hazards of backing
onto Third Street so close to the intersection
The applicant is submitting two alternatives and we
support alternative 1. Alternative 1 provides three
more spaces than the present situation, but would require
a variance in the amount of required parking from 7 spaces
to 4 spaces. This would seem justified since one more
on- street space will be created than now exists resulting
in an effective reduction of only two spaces. The
property is also well situated in relation to the transit
routes.

The purpose of this Council submittal is to obtain approval
for parking to encroach on the public right -of -way along part
of Third Street. After submitting an application to the Board
of Zoning Adjustment, we were referred to the City Engineer
who, in turn, has referred us to Council.
The need for this approval is due to the zoning classification
rendering this property non - conforming and thereby creating a
hardship to the owner who is attempting to improve and renovate
this historic structure within sound economic constraints.
The City Council has to first approve the parking encroachment
before the City Engineer can approve the curb cut. After
Council makes a decision, the Board of Zoning Adjustment can
act on the application to them to grant a variance on the
number of parking spaces required. (See application to Board
of Zoning Adjustment dated January 27, 1977.)
The solution is for (see "Alternate #1 - Proposed Parking "):
A. Council to grant approval for the parking
encroachment.
B. The City Engineer to recommend approval of
the curb cut from Third Street.
C. The Board of Zoning Adjustment to grant a
variance reducing the required parking spaces
to 5 for office use. (Please note the park-
ing arrangement will not significantly
interfere with the future sidewalk.)
The client wishes to provide 5 parking spaces which would bring
the parking into conformity with the existing requirement of
one per bedroom.
