RE:	1301 West 23^rd Street (SP-3-15-11) Variance request from City Code 19-214(B)

Please include the following item on the City Commission agenda for consideration at the May 17, 2011 meeting:

Approval of the request by Green Western LLC on behalf of EVC Naismith, L.C., the property owner of record, for a variance from 19-214B of the City Code which states that a private sanitary sewer service line shall not be located in a City public right of way for greater than 15 feet for 1301 West 23^rd Street.

Green Western LLC recently submitted a site plan, SP-3-15-11, on behalf of EVC Naismith L.C., the property owner of record, for the property located at 1301 West 23^rd Street.

1301 West 23^rd Street is currently occupied by a single building, which is legally served by sanitary sewer. While the existing sanitary sewer line will not be modified as part of the site plan request; the existing sanitary sewer service line will extend more than 15 feet within dedicated right-of-way and this variance request will bring the property at 1301 West 23^rd Street into compliance with current City Code.

Action Request:

Approval of the requested variance from 19-214B of the City Code for 1301 West 23^rd Street.
