It was pointed out during discussion that the Council had denied the subject application on November 10, 1980. However, the applicants do not wish to remove the encroachments and are, there- fore, requesting the matter be reconsidered based on evidence which they wish to present. It was also noted that the staff felt the existing nonconforming encroachments should not be used as a precedent for justifying new encroachments, and that each application should be examined on its own merit. Denial of the application had been pre- viously recommended, based on the magnitude and nature of the encroachment. x Following discussion, motion was made to direct the City staff to have the encroachments removed, if the applicants do not remove them within 30 days.
