PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Home Business ReQUest : R. V . Repair Service. Beaver Valley
Road: Sv Riaale: Senior Planner Rachel Nathanson reported that Sy
Riggle owns property at 1020 Beaver Valley Road which has a home and
barn constructed on it and Mr. Riggle has recently advertised the
.opening of a recreational vehicle repair business at this address. Mr.
Riggle has stated that his son has been trying to purchase commercial
property in the Tri Area, but since that has not happened and his son
is ready to open his business he offered to let him open the business
in his barn. Mr. Riggle's position on this matter is that he was going
to let his son run his business from this location on a temporary
basis, however there is no indication of how long "temporary" will
last, Rachel Nathanson added.
Ms . Nathanson submitted a list of suggested conditions of approval fo.r
this proposal to be considered a home business. Mr. Riggle was going
to submit a letter of application for a home business, however that has
not been received yet. Action was delayed on this request until such
time as a letter of application is received.

location of a mobile home on his lot. A twenty four foot setback is
required and Mr. Caldwell is requesting that the corner of the .mobile
home be setback eighteen feet. The bank along the shoreline in this
area is eighteen feet h.i:9h. The setback is being requested because
trees are in the way. the location of the lot line (requires a five
foot setback) and the loss of a "prime view".
Mr. Duffy read the general variance criteria as stated in Section 1.104
of the Shoreline Management Master Program.
1} Hardship: Specifically related to the property and is it the
result of unique conditions such as irregular lot size, shape, or
natural features in the application of the J;lrogram.Not from the
applicants own actions. There does not appear to be a hardship in this
case.
2} Design of Project is compatible with other permitted activities in
the area: Will not cause adverse effects to adjacent properties or the
shoreline environment. Since there is one home that is already setback
eighteen feet, this would be compatible with other activities in the
area.
3} Shoreline E.nvironment: Mr. Caldwell states that the bank is
eighteen feet high, however a site inspection has not been made to
determine if there are any problems such as bluff erosion.
4} Grant of Special Privilege: The variance should not grant a
special privilege not enjoyed by other properties in the area and will
be the minimum necessary to afford relief.
5} No Detrimental effect to the Public Interest
6} The variance will be in harmony with the general purpose of the
program.
1} Consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact of similar
requests in the area. There are no adjoining neighbors now ,so a
precedent would be established for an eighteen foot setback from the
bluff.
Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the shoreline setback variance
as requested by Mr. Caldwell. (The motion was not seconded). Bob Duffy
responded to the Chairman's inquiry regarding alternatives, that he has
not discussed this with the applicant. Chairman Dennison added that he
has no way of knowing if the variance is the minimum necessary for
rel ief if he does not know what alternatives are available for Mr.
Caldwell.
Bob Duffy will inspect the site and contact the applicant for further
information. Commissioner B.G. Brown then moved to table action on
this variance request. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion.
Shoreline Setback Variance ReQUest: Robert D. Schillina. 290
Olvmpus Boulevard: This request from Mr. Schilling is for Lots 39 and
40 of OlympusBeach Tracts, on Olympus Boulevard just south of Mats
Mats Bay, Bob Duffy explained. Mr. Schilling is requesting either a
forty or forty five foot setback for placement of a mobile home from a
fifty-nine foot. bank. The drainfield prohibits setting the mobile home
baclc any further. The stability of the bluff needs to be determined.
Chairman Dennison asked that more information be provided about this
site such as bluff stability and adequacy of the septic tank and
drainfield. Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to table this request until
such time as mo;re information is available. Chairman Dennison seconded
the motion.
Letter from Discovery Timber Company re: Industrial Desiana-
tion SR20 Corridor: The Board directed that this letter be referred to
the Planning Department for a recommendation on a solution to the
