Consider a Request for Approval of an Extension of a Previous Variance Approval from the
Minimum Front Yard Setback for Property in the I-1 General Industrial Use District – Dan Stanley
and Larry Raasch, on behalf of Stanley & Raasch Properties are requesting an extension to allow for the
continuation of a variance approval from the front yard setback to construct an industrial building on a
site located at 17098 Adelmann Street, south of Cottonwood Lane and west of Greystone C ourt. The
following variance was approved on August 4, 2014: A 15 foot variance from the minimum 30 foot front
yard setback required in the I-1 District (Section 1102.1405).
Director Rogness explained that this particular extension request is based on a delayed land closing by
the applicant, which has pushed back the start date for construction. Variance extensions can take up to
one year per City ordinance, and the applicant is requesting a full year to August 4, 2016. Staff supports
that full year extension as well. Rogness noted that the applicants were present if the Commissioners
had further questions for Mr. Stanley and Mr. Raasch.
Blahnik wanted to confirm that this request is based on a delay in the closing of the property.
