Property Owner: 701 Main Inc. —Sean Felker
Action Requested:
The petitioner is requesting access control variances to permit the following at the N. Main
Street driveway entrance:
1. Reduce corner clearance from N. Main St. and W. Irving Ave. to 55 feet where code
requires a minimum 120 feet.
2. Reduce driveway spacing on N. Main St. to 15 feet where code requires a minimum of
105 feet.
3. Reduce lateral clearance from N. Main St. to 17 feet where code requires a minimum of
75 feet.
4. Increase the number of driveways from the maximum of 1 to 2.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
The Access Control Ordinance, Section 25-104.1(I) of the Municipal Code.
Property Location and Background Information:
The subject area consists of two parcels, totaling approximately 0.19 acres in size, located at the
northwest corner of N. Main Stret and Irving Avenue. The two parcels are currently vacant and
previously housed Mabel Murphy's cocktail bar and another commercial business with
residential above. Staff is reviewing the proposed construction of a new Mabel Murphy's on
these two lots,which plan to be conjoined. The surrounding area consists of commercial and
residential uses. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plans recommends center city use for the
subject area.

ANALYSIS
The proposed development will have one access driveway along Irving Avenue and one along
N. Main Street. This will be a one-way driveway,entering from Irving Avenue and exiting on
N. Main Street. The intended use of the property is a tavern, similar to what was there before
with improvements. In this particular case staff does not have concerns with the requested
lateral clearance reduction because the proposed 17' lateral clearance provides enough room for
one vehicle and the proposed parking lot is small,with only 3 stalls,which should not result in
any stacking of vehicles in the parking lot's one-way drive aisle. Staff supports the increased
number of driveways from one to two, to allow for a one-way driveway and eliminate the need
to back into the public ROW.
The proposed N. Main St. entrance has a 55' clearance from the N. Main St. /Irving Ave.
intersection, where code requires a 120' corner clearance. The required corner clearance cannot
be met for this property as the lot has only 77' of frontage along N. Main Street. Staff does not
have concerns with the reduced corner clearance as the location of the driveway is not changing
from what is existing and it is not feasible to meet the required 120' corner clearance. Staff also
supports the decrease in driveway spacing from the required 105' down to the current 15' from
the neighboring driveway to the north. This again is not changing from what is already existing
on the property. The Department of Public Works has reviewed the proposal and has not noted
any concerns.
Currently the proposed plans show a 14' driveway width and staff feel the minimum
requirement of 18' for one-way driveways should be met. Additionally staff feels the driveway
apron needs to be increased from a 3' flare to a 5' flare.
RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
Staff recommends approval of access control variances to permit the following:
1. Reduce corner clearance from N. Main St. and Irving to 55 feet where code requires a
minimum 120 feet.
2. Reduce driveway spacing on N. Main St. to 15 feet where code requires a minimum
of 105 feet.
3. Reduce lateral clearance from N. Main St. to 17 feet where code requires a minimum
of 75 feet.
4. Increase the number of driveways from the maximum of 1 to 2.

General Application — Access Control Variance
Mach IV Project No. 1712-01-20TM
Project Narrative
Proposed use of the property
Proposed use is tavern.
Existing use of the property
Previous use was a tavern that was destroyed in a fire.
Identification of structures on the property and discussion of their relation to the project
Existing site had a tavern and commercial building. A fire destroyed both structures. The
proposed use is to re-construct the tavern and construct a small parking lot, outdoor seating area,
and dumpster enclosure. When the site had two structures, it had two ingress/egress points/curb
cuts. One was on W Irving Avenue and one was on N Main Street.
It is the desire of the owner to keep both ingress/egress points to allow garbage trucks to access
the dumpster enclosure and then exit the site without backing out into a City street. The
dumpster enclosure would be accessed off W. Irving Avenue, with the trucks leaving via N Main
Street.
Projected number of residents, employees, and/or daily customers.
Projected to employ 4 people. It is the hope the previous customer base can be re-constructed.
Proposed amount of dwelling units, floor area, landscape area, and parking area expressed in
square feet and acreage to the nearest one-hundredth of an acre.
Building: 0.04 ac
Parking Area: 0.03 ac
Green Space: 0.12 ac
Total Lot Size 0.19 ac
Effects on adjoining properties to include: noise, hours of operation, glare, odor, fumes,
vibration, etc.
Effects should be the same as the original use. Parking should be marginally improved as a
small amount of new parking is proposed.
Surrounding land uses
Surrounding land use is primarily commercial with a multi-family building to the west.
Compatibility of the proposed use with adjacent and other properties in the area.
Proposed use matches the previous use prior to the fire
Traffic generation
Proposed building is approximately same as previous use so it is anticipated traffic generation will
be the same. Site is located on two heavily used streets designed for elevated traffic levels.
Any other information pertinent to adequate understanding of the intended use and its
relation to nearby properties
Owner wishes to reconstruct their business after the tragic fire.
