Emes Place has withdrawn their request for access on Frasier/Granberry and now trying yet again to enter/exit on 5th Street after being denied several years ago as they were unable to meet conditions required. So we should ask, what has changed since? If Chapter 42 is our guide for land use in our city why should they receive variances? Below is a letter from Suzy Hartgrove, Public Affairs Manager: The applicant has withdrawn their application from the Planning Commission’s agenda. They intend to file a new application October 1st to be placed on the October 11th agenda. The new application will request to take access from 5th street and include the following variances from Chapter 42. 1. To allow a reserve to have less than 60 feet of frontage on a public street. 2. To allow a private street to be a direct extension of a public street. 3. Not to extend or provide a cul-de-sac for 5th street. In consideration of granting the variances, staff will have limited flexibility to recommend to the Planning Commission conditions on the variance, i.e. maximum number of units, maximum height, speed cushion on 5th street. Property owners within 250 feet of the project and 500 feet along 5th Street will receive written notice and a sign will be posted on 5th Street. Sincerely, Suzy Hartgrove, Public Affairs Manager, CPM
