ROLL CALL
Members present: Messrs. Millard, Butt, Newell, Wetzel, Roush, Mrs. Martin,
Mrs. Walker. Also present: Mrs. Winks, Secretary
SP-8206 - Mr. Frank Hall - Requesting a Special Exception for Multi-Family
in B-6 Zoning District
Mr. Holahan stated that he was the representative for Mr. Hall. Chairman
Millard placed Mr. Holahan under oath. The secretary noted that all abutting
property owners were notified by Certified Return Receipt Mail, the property
was posted and it was advertised in the paper. The secretary gave a brief
history of this case on the action of the Planning Commission.
Mr. Wetzel expressed a concern for pedestrian traffic along the edge of
this property. There was a discussion as to whether a sidewalk should be
provided. Mr. Holahan noted that this project would be an improvement to
this area, and each unit will be sold as condominiums.
Mr. Millard commented that when the Zoning Ordinance was passed it gave
alot of responsibility to the Board of Adjustment, and at that time there
was not a Planning or Zoning Board. Now that we h~ve the Planning Commission,
the Planning Department and the Comprehensive Plan, the Board of Adjustment
is not required to go into as much detail as they used to, such as buffers,
parking and sewers. As long as the Board of Adjustment is provided with the
sketch plan and the Department Head Review, and there has been a review by the
Planning Commission, the Board can rely on their recommendations. Any action
taken by the Board is based on the information provided by these people and
we assume that the reports are correct. Any time anyone feels that we are
not being backed up by these people, appropriate action can be taken.
There was concern by the Board that a buffer be lliuilt between the road and
parking area to prevent improper ingress and egress of vehicles. There was
a discussion on water retention which does not seem to be a problem.
The Board unanimously agreed to approve the special exception noting
that a buffer be built along Park Ave. to prevent random in and out traffic
from the project to the road. If there are any major changes from plans
or statements the Board reserves the right to re-examine their approval.
Chairman Millard called the regular meeting to order at 8:00 PM.
