rll ---\) ( )j ~l}{ INFORMATION MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Scott HarIicker, Senior Planner:jJ!; DATE: September 13, 1999 SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit for Office Building At 403 Main Street . Staff was asked to review the conditional use permit for an office building at 403 Main Street. A review of flie No. CU 94-17 revealed that the developer, T.S. Construction, was not in compliance with one of the conditions of approval. Condition 3 stated the house on lot 3 be removed from the property within 3 years from the date of City Council approval. This condition was included because with the parking lot improvements occurring on the same parcel as the house, improvements were being made to a legal non- conforming use (single family house in a C2 Office District). The Council approved the conditional use permit on June 20, 1994. The applicant had until June 20, 1997 to remove the house. Attached is a copy of the location map, site plan and conditional use permit. Tim Smith, of T.S. Construction, was sent a letter on August 2, 1999 informing him that he was not in compliance with the conditional use permit granted for the office building. Attached is a copy of that letter. On September 9, 1999 staff spoke with Mr. Smith and discussed possible alternatives to removing the house. Staff will also be discussing possible alternatives with the City Attorney. It is possible the applicant will be applying for an amendment to the conditional use permit; if this happens, it will likely be presented to the Planning Commission at their October 26th meeting and will be before the Council at your November 15th meeting. . 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
