D. case No~ 204

Property Owner:
Request:
East of High Ridge Road and 460 feet north of Gateway
Boulevard
Tr1-County Comuter Ra1l Authortt,
Request for relief from Appendix A, Zoning, Section
7.H.17 to omit the required peripheral greenbelt along
that portion of the PID boundary which coincides with
the east property line of the proposed parking facility
for the Tri-Rail station.
Ms. Houston read portions of this application, including the applicant's state-
ment of special conditions, hardships or reasons justifying the requested excep-
tion or variance. .
John Handley represented Tr1-Rail and displayed a graphic of the site. He is
proposing to add necessary parking and bring the cars into a common accessway
and have them function throughout the site, leaving the pedestrian corridors
open. The pedestrian corridors lead directly to the Tr1-Rail Station. In order
to do this, he requested relief from having to providJ the 40 foot wide green-
belt. He explained that the greenbelt would separate the parking facility from
the Tri-Ra1l Station. The greenbelt is required to separate this use from adja-
cent uses; however, both properties are owned by different divisions within the
Department of Transport1on. Therefore, funding is different and a unity of
title cannot be done between this property and the entire rail corridor.
He advised that triple the required landscaping was provided, and he worked very
closely with the City Forester to preserve as many trees as possible.
Mr. Handley stated that he appeared before the Planning and Development Board
with a similar request because the Code requires a landscape strip along the
property line. The Planning and Development Board recommended approval because
it does not make sense to do that.
Mr. Handley advised that he is trying to separate the cars and the people as
much as possible. Therefore, he provided two pedestrian walkways. Once the
people get out of their cars, they get on the walkways and never have to cross
vehicular traffic.
No one wished to speak in favor of or in opposition to this variance.
Several members of the Board made favorable comments regarding this project.
Motion
Mr. Miriana moved to grant the request for relief from Appendix A, Zoning,
Section 7.H.17 to omit the required peripheral greenbelt along that portion of
the PIO boundary which coincides with the east property line of the proposed
parking facility for the Tri-Rai1 station. Mr. Bennan seconded the motion. A
roll call vote was polled by the Recording Secretary. The motion carried 7-0.
