BOA 12-4184: (3825 N. SHILOH/BUCK NEKKID, 174): Submitted by JOE BROOKS for
property located at 3825 N. SHILOH. The property is zoned C-2, THOROUGHFARE
COMMERCIAL and contains approximately 2.61 acres. The request is for a variance from the
front setback requirements to allow for an outdoor stage.
Quin Thompson Read the staff report.
Mr. Will Houston spoke to the issue of hardship, saying that the very large size of the
restaurant was its own hardship, and the reason the building has remained empty for several
years. He said the business plan to make the location productive again calls for a large family
oriented recreation destination, including the restaurant.
He added that a fire department review of his music venue showed that the site would be
improved from a fire safety standpoint if the variance should be granted.
Mr. Kohler felt that the plan did not represent the `minimum variance' and that he could not
support it.
Mr. Hagers suggested moving the stage to the original approved location, and then seeking a
smaller variance.
The benefits of reducing the height of the stage such that it would no longer meet the
definition of a `structure' was discussed, as well as moving the light truss to another location.
Motion:
Board Member Hagers made a motion to deny BOA 12-4184. Board Member Stein
seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the motion passed with a vote of 4-0-0.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 PM.
