Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April; 10, 2014 Page 7 of 37 doesn’t know the age of the building and whether this is the best use of the building. That is the property owner’s right. He does see this as a pseudo-subdivision. He knows what the guidelines state, but he thinks it really is being subdivided with two different buildings on it. It is allowed but he doesn’t necessarily agree with it. This is his opportunity to say this. Preservation of the community is good. The use of the alley will show whether this is a concern as it is only 10’ wide. He knows that the property to the north will probably be developing and the property on the south has talked about redeveloping. There is going to be some change on that corner. Moline says he looked at the northern elevation and had some of the same concerns. The staff report says that the IBC requires all buildings located within 5’ of a property line to be constructed with fire rated materials and may not have any openings. He assumes this is within 5’ of the line. McCartney says yes, absolutely. Moline says he assumes the reason for this wall appearance is to meet the code. Pritchard says he knows it is. He says it doesn’t inspire him as there is no equal-sized building next to it. It will be visible until something happens to the north with a higher and better use; then it is a mute point. In the interim, it is not the image he would like to see. Rice says he had the same presumption that Moline did. Until this area redevelops, there aren’t many choices to do with the north wall. It will have another “nothing” wall that faces it. He sees they didn’t have much choice. Pritchard says we will have to live with the view.
