Is
residential
high
density
multifamily
and
the
gpp
designation
is
core
residential?
The
current
use
on
the
property
is
that
of
a
rental
duplex,
and
the
surrounding
uses
are
single-family
and
multi-family
residential,
and
you
can

Variance
and
allowed
it
to
become
smaller.
However,
there
is
no
new
development
proposed.
It's
basically
just
doing
the
lot
line
shift
so
that
the
garage
would
be
on
the
same
lot
as
the
smith
avenue
house,
and
the
new
configuration
for
the
petition
site
would
have
to
still
meet
in
pervious
surface
requirements
and
density
requirements
and
the
317
smith
site,
as.
G

The
garage
already
functions,
as
I
said
as
part
of
the
adjacent
lot,
and
that
would
not
change
no
injury
to
general
welfare
and
there
will
actually
be
no
physical
changes
on
the
land
with
this
petition
and
we
found
peculiar
conditions
in
the
age
of
the
lots
and
the
structures,
the
extremely
small
lot
sizes
in
this
area
compared
to
the
code
requirements
and
the
relationship
of
the
garage
to
the
house
on
the
adjacent
lot.
Both
houses
have
been
in
their
current
locations
for
over.

I
Thank
you
this
case
v
10
to
16
is.
I
I
I
You
can
see
here
the
property
is
surrounded
by
single-family
residences.
It
was
a
vacant
property
that
received
a
building
permit
in
2014.
It
had
historically
never
had
a
house
on
it
that
we're
aware
of
his
privilege
just
used
as
an
adjacent
lot,
so
it
was
recently
constructed
on
which
did
require
a
sidewalk
to
be
installed
on
the
property.
I
Focused
around
obviously
the
the
site
itself,
which
has
to
be
proven
to
be
unique
in
some
manner
that
doesn't
allow
a
property
to
meet
code
shown
here
is
a
site
photo.
This
is
looking
north
rose,
avenue
is
kind
of
on
the
left
side
of
your
screen
and
then
the
newly
constructed
houses
on
the
right
side
of
your
screen.
I
I
I
Was
designed
to
require
these
sidewalks
to
be
installed,
sometimes
that
happens
gradually
in
the
construction
of
a
single-family
house.
It's
just
one
trigger
of
a
sidewalk
requirement.
A
home
occupation
request
is
also
another
trigger
for
whom
for
a
sidewalk
to
be
installed.
So,
while
the
adjacent
lots
are
all
currently
built
on-
and
there
are
no
adjacent
lots
that
are
vacant-
that
a
single-family
house
would
be
expected
on.
As
I
mentioned,
there
are
other
requirements
where
a
sidewalk
could
be
installed
that
would
lead
to
the
gradual
system
being
installed
through.
I
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
There
are
significant
negative
impacts
of
sidewalk
installation
and
one
of
them
could
be
an
increased
hazard
to
pedestrians
by
an
isolated
segment
of
sidewalk.
Suppose
someone
were
to
venture
onto
this
short
segment,
stepping
off
the
street
and
now
they're
walking
along
the
sidewalk.
Well,
they
get
to
an
end
within
about
a
hundred
and
twenty
some
feet.
J
J
Can
argue
that
a
short
segment
of
sidewalk
necessarily
only
is
a
benefit.
It
can
also
introduce
new
hazards.
There's
the
aesthetic
disruption
of
the
neighborhood,
there's
no
existing
home
on
south
or
avenue
that
has
a
sidewalk
and
an
isolated
slab
of
blank
concrete
would
look
out
of
place
on
this
street.
We
have.
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
That
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
have
a
sidewalk
that
begins
and
ends
at
either
side
of
your
house,
since
there
are
no
other
sidewalks
on
our
block,
and
the
landscaping
you
propose
to
add
is
what
we
need
to
make
our
neighborhood
and
city
more
sustainable.
This
is
a
letter
from
molly
o'donnell
she's,
a
member
of
the
bloomington
commission
on
sustainability.
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
I
There
is
some
reason
that
a
5-foot
tree
plot
or
5
foot
separation
can't
be
achieved.
Then
it
would
be
a
6
foot,
monolithic
sidewalk,
but
unless
there's
a
reason
that
we
can't
have
a
tree
plot,
then
there
would
be
a
tree
plot
of
whatever
size
we
can
get
and
then
a
5
foot
sidewalk
after
that.
So
ideally
5
foot
separation
from
the
edge
of
the
pavement.
It
looks
like
there's
no.
I
E
Very
yes,
eric
is
it
unusual
and
I.
B
I
It
is
something
that
people
have
on
their
radar
when
they
get
the
building
permit,
and
sometimes
they
say
hey.
We
will
just
deal
with
this
a
little
bit
later
when
that
time
comes
that
we're
ready
to
start
building,
you
know
oftentimes,
we
get
a
building
permit
and
maybe
it's
a
year
later
know
that
they
actually
started.
You
know
in
this
case
here
they
got
the
building,
permit
2014,
you
know,
and
they
just
recently,
I
think
at
the
end
of
last
year,
completed
construction.
I
I
I
H
H
H
H
I
I
I
Transition
towards
establishing
sidewalks
whenever
possible
because
they
do
provide
a
public
benefit
and
good
that
is
recognized,
and
so
there
are
very
few
triggers.
But
you
know,
new
construction
was
seeing
a
family
house
and
then,
like
said
home
occupations
are
another.
So
what's
the
date
of
expiration.
F
F
J
J
F
J
J
Traffic
and
you
put
an
isolated
segment
off
sidewalk
there.
It
actually
increases
pedestrian
hazard,
see
so
either.
You
accept
the
premise
that
oh
there's
very
little
traffic
and
then
there's
no
need
for
sidewalk
or
if
there
is
traffic,
then
indeed
a
short
segment
could
even
increase
hazard
to
pedestrians.
So
your
point,
one
is
based.
F
J
I
The
top
of
the
hill,
so
there's
already
drainage,
the
contours
are
draining
to
the
south
and
to
the
north
a
little
bit
it's
kind
of
on
the
crest
of
a
hill
here,
but
you
know
with
the
separation
between
the
sidewalk
and
the
street
that
helps
alleviate
a
lot
of
those
concerns
for
diverting
drainage
to
where
it
wasn't
going
before.
So
I
don't
see
any
reason
that
it
would
probably
increase
any
off-site
drainage.
Okay,
thank
you.
B
B
F
E
E
Seen
it
in
my
own
neighborhood
segments
of
sidewalk
go
in
I've,
looked
at
them
and
thought
I
don't
know
if
this
is
working,
I'm
going
to
recommend
that
we.
E
Some
data
together
that
shows
whether
or
not
we've
spurred
any
development
of
sidewalks
or
not
and
then
decide
from
there.
Whether
we
want
to
keep
this
in
the
you
do
that
doesn't
help
you,
I'm
sorry
to
say,
and
I
have
to
go
with
staff
findings
on
this.
It
is
in
the
you
do.
We
are
here
in
a
quasi
legal
state
to
change
the
law.
