Greg Jones further clarified that the allowances in the Ordinance to grant special exceptions do not require that a property hardship be proven. Chairman Stonecipher asked for clarification of the applicant's request, and Greg Jones responded that the applicant is requesting a reduction from the required minimRln of five spaces in a row, to three spaces, on the one middle island. Chairman Stonecipher asked if the total number of parking spaces is a relevant issue in this case, and Greg Jones responded that the issue pertnin.~ to a reduction in the number of spaces for this particular row, and not total number of parking spaces. The applicant was invited to step forward and present his case. The applicant had no comments. Public Hearing was opened to the public. No one spoke in favor of or in opposition to the request. Meeting was closed to the public and opened to the Board for discussion. Commissioner LeGros asked if there is enough room for five parking spaces in that area, and Mr. Cnnnon responded that the fire lane requirements prevent them from allowing the five required spaces.

He commented that noise, odor, and pick-up activities are common problems associated with dumpsters. He explained, also, that because the actual use of the two buildings has not yet been determined, Staff feels garbage collection may be a better alternative than a dumpster. He further noted that a dumpster is not required by Ordinance, adding that Staff recommends denial. Commi~ioner Chomiak asked for clarification on the 30-R. setback requirement for a dumpster, and Greg Jones indicated that, by Zoning Ordinance, a dumpster would not be allowed within the 30-t~. setback. The applicant was invited to step forward and present his case.
