ARC2026-00015 3149 S SCENIC AVE Applicant: CHRISTOPHER WYNN Work Type: Fee-in-lieu of sidewalk ATTENDANCE: Brad Musick, Justin Crighton, Chad Zickefoose. Staff: Bob Hosmer, Laura Vales and Samantha Payne(zoom) REPRESENTATIVE: Chris Wynn PUBLIC: Staff/Rep: Seeking approval for parking lot improvements, including drainage fixes and converting gravel parking to paved parking and asking for a "Fee-in-Lieu of sidewalk" payment instead of installing a new sidewalk. Rep: Justification for Fee-in-Lieu of: No existing sidewalks on the west side of Scenic Avenue in the immediate vicinity and difficult to place a sidewalk due to a stormwater ditch and existing utilities within the right-of-way. Staff: Staff voiced concerns about existing "illegal parking" in the public right-of-way, which is currently unpaved and questioned the feasibility of placing a sidewalk behind the ditch, noting that much of the current gravel parking is within the right-of-way and stated the need to address the encroachment regardless of the sidewalk decision. Rep: Confirmed they are tenants, and the landlord offered to pay the Fee-in-Lieu of. ARC ACTION: Chad motioned to approved the Fee-in-Lieu of with the following conditions: The right-of-way must be restored to grass and curbing must be replaced on the sides of the driveway approaches. Justin seconded. Approved w/Conditions. These conditions must be incorporated into the existing building plans under review.

ATTENDANCE: Brad Musik, Justin Crighton, Chad Zickefoose. Staff: Bob Hosmer, Laura Vales and Samantha Payne(zoom) REPRESENTATIVE: Brent Lambert and Doug Karsch PUBLIC: Staff/Rep: Went over request and it was stated that Purcell Properties uses the site for tire and vehicle storage. They are requesting a "fee in lieu of sidewalk installation." They noted the property's location at Glenstone and Commercial lacks connecting sidewalks, making a new section "go to nowhere" and cost- prohibitive due to potential street closures and ADA compliance issues. Staff: Staff noted the overall Non-Compliance: The project presents multiple, complex issues related to zoning, fencing, sidewalk requirements, curb cut closure, and outside storage: 1. Unpermitted Fence: A security fence was installed without a permit. The installer incorrectly advised no permit was needed. 2. Fence Location/Height: The fence closes off a former driveway approach. City code requires the complete removal of such approaches and restoration of curbing and sidewalk. 3. Zoning and Storage: Under the old GR district code (applicable when the building permit was submitted in 2025), outside storage was not permitted. The new code may allow it under specific criteria. The current fence and storage practice conflict with existing regulations. 4. Loss of Storage Space: Moving the fence to comply with setback regulations would result in a significant loss (1400-2800 sq ft) of critical tire storage space. Staff: Advised Purcell Tire to submit a "pre-application review" this will provide comprehensive guidance from all city departments on how to bring the property into full compliance with current codes and regulations. The existing ARC case will remain active during this postponement period to facilitate the pre- application review and subsequent compliance efforts. ARC ACTION: Justin motioned to postpone to June 4, 2026. Brad seconded the motion. Postponed. Justin motioned to approve the April 2, 2026 minutes. Chad seconded. 3/0 Approved Result: Tabled Page 4 of 4
