The width of the lot at right angles to the side tines is only 90.89 feet. � Applicant proposes a building 69 feet in width. The East corner of the garage would be 3i ft. in the setback, required by Ordinance. When the building permit was issued, the Building Inspector advised the applicant of the discrepancy and the required clearance was noted on the permit .

GROCERY STORES - Permitted Use in Multipte Dwelling Areas Ordinance Committee Chairman Br4mschwig gave the following report: ' i'The committee discuss�d this proposal at length and con- cluded the following: 1 . Installation of Basement type grocery stores in multipte � dwelling units had its inception in our area, from our parent city of Minneapotis in buildings that catered, for the most part, to people using public transportation for travel to and from work, and were located in an area that lacked extensive shopping facilities. People rent- ing such facilities in the suburban area, usually possess their own means of transportation and are abte to patronize the various shopping centers contained within the surrounding area. �.��� Regutar Meeting of the Golden Valley Planning Commission,Oct. 11 , t962 ORDINANCE WAIVERS (continued) 2. Such installations would be spot zoning and with the possible demise of said operation, any type commerciai enterprise could be established in the intended muttiple dwelling area. 3. Possible ramifications of an ordinance permitting such uses, would be to open the door for application of such uses from every established multiple dwetling in th� Village, which woutd be in complete conflicfi with atl the ideas of planning estabiished in the past. In view of the foregoing, the committee recommends that commerciat uses in Multiple DweTlings be prohibited and not be inctuded in our present Muttipte Dwelling ordinance.�' Motion by Loughland, seconded by Senstad that the Planning Commission ' accept the committee report and refer this to the Village Council for their consideration and action.
