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.

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.
