The Phmning Director made reference to the Affidavit of Publication and the Certification of Mailing and informed the Commission that the Public Hearing had been properly called. PUBLIC HEARING - SPECIAL USE PERMIT AL SIEBEN 1424- 1426 TYLER ST. The Planning Director explained that Mr. Sieben has requested a special use permit to construct a duplex located at 1424-1426 Tyler St., and that this special use permit would require a variance from the lot size requirement plus the sideyard setback requirement. Since the Committee report has not been received and due to the fact that Mr. Sieben had not submitted a revised site plan, it is suggested to the Commission that the public hearing be continued at the next regular scheduled Planning Commission meeting. Name Bob Balitz Comments This property was for sale several years ago, and at that time the City Clerk indicated that the lot was not big enough for a duplex. In addition there is also a drainage problem in that area which should be considered prior to any new development. Since there is some question about the property lines in the area, it seems reasonable that the property be surveyed prior to any approval by the City. Commissioner Kramer The concerns that have been brought up relate to drainage, the need for survey, and the fact that it is a substantial variance from the lot size requirement for a duplex in an R-2 zoning district.
