Mr. Harry E. Marshall r
City Clerk
Room 386 City Hall
Dear Mr. Marshall:
This is written in response to the appeal of Fisher Real
Estate, Inc. to vary and waive height requirements to construct
a new nut storage bin tower on property located on the west
side of Bradford Street between Wycliff and Endicott Streets.
This property is further described as:
Lot 26 and the westerly 12.3 feet
of Lot 25 in Block 69, St. Anthony
Park.
This matter was considered at the February 19, 1970, Board
of Zoning meeting. The staff reported that the appellant wishes
to construct a 95-foot nut storage bin tower. The Zoning Code,
however, limits the height of structures in this district to 40
feet. The request, therefore, represents a variance of 55 feet
or 137.3 percent. The staff noted that a previous height variance
was granted for a similar 72-foot high structure in 1966. The
site, it was noted, is within the South St. Anthony Park Neighborhood
Development Program area, and communications were received from the
Project Area Committee group and the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority noting no objection to the variance. Staff conclusions
noted that although the requested variance is large, it would not
be detrimental to adjoining properties.
Subsequently, it was the finding of the Board of Zoning that
the variance represents a reasonable request and, therefore, the
Board recommends approval of this appeal by a 5-0 vote.
Very t.rQly yours,
