Observations: Section 9.20.22 (B-2 Highway Business District) requires a 20 foot setback for all pavement fi'om public street right-obway. Mr. Druk has leased a portion of the property located at 9535 Highway #10 N.W. with the intent of making the necessary site improvements and selling cars. Car sa[es is a permitted use in this District. Mr. Druk submitted a paving and curbing plan for the property that identifies installation of pavement to within 2 feet of the existing chain link fence along the t'ront property line, adjacent to Highway #10. Mr. George Cowles, the fee title owner, has indicated that the fence is set back approximately 2 feet from the front property line. There fi)'re, the proposed pavement setback from Highway # I 0 is approximately 4 feet. Mr. Druk's plan identifies that the front yard between the sales office and the front property line is only 6l ~'eet in depth. The combination of the sales office location and the 20 foot pavement setback results in a business yard of 41 feet. This significantly limits the ability tO provide a motor vehicle display area, customer parking adjacen;r to the building and a drive aisle between vehicles on display and customer parking. Consequently, Mr. Druk applied for a variance to the pavement setback requirement fi'om public street right-of-way. . The [3~)ard o1:' Adjustment recently approved a similar request, in the H-1 Highway 10 Business Distri. ct. That variance allowed the applicant to decrease the pavement setback to 10 feet.
