to the zoning ordinance to encroach into the rear yard building setback from 20' to 9' for
construction of deck and cover.
Steve Simonson stated that the request would not have any encroachment either into
the side or back yard easements. The request is for a building setback because the
deck and cover will tie onto the house. Steve added that a letter from the homeowners
association is part of the packet concurring with the request.

The building setback requirement would be 25 feet on Borgfeld Road. Points of
correction are that lot 2R needs to be shown as lot 3, and that the owner signature block
must comply with the Unified Development Code requirement, stated Steve Simonson.
David Richmond asked if we are to assume the property would be used for a car wash
facility and was advised yes. David commented concern due to the construction of
another car wash in a 3-mile stretch of other similar type facilities and asked is there a
need for car wash in the area? Mr. Insenhour stated that maybe there wasn't the need
but it is his desire to construct the car wash. Mr. Insenhour explained that the facility
would consist of 5- self-serve bays and one automatic bay. It would be a very unique
car wash facility.
With no further discussion, Tony Moreno moved to approve the request from Isenhour
Service Center, Inc. for Preliminary Vacate/Replat approval of Lot 2, Bradfute
Subdivision, Borgfeld Road contingent upon the corrections discussed. Gary Wallace
. seconded the motion. With a vote being called, the motion was approved unanimously.
