has an existing 20,800 square foot building on the front part of the
lot. The owner is proposing to construct a 15,360 square foot
building on the rear of the lot, and due to the narrowness of the lot
and the configuration of the building, the required 105 foot long
truck parking and loading spaces with maneuvering area cannot be

maneuvering area with 40 foot long truck parking and loading spaces,
and will restrict the length of vehicles entering the site to 40
feet. They are also proposing to construct only 6 truck parking and
loading spaces. This will conform only for a manufacturing type of

Community Services and it is hereby recommended that the Variance be
granted contingent upon the following conditions:
