New Business:           SITE PLAN/PARKING REVIEW – 119 E MAIN ST

                                                                                                            55-35-580-018           

 

            MOTION by Borgerding, supported by Kozan, to grant a parking waiver for

119 E. Main Street for an additional eleven required parking spaces.

 

            Yea: 7

            Nay: 0

            Abstain: 1

            Motion carried.

 

Discussion:

 

·        Mr. James Hamady, Healthy Endeavors Corp., has requested a parking waiver for his proposed deli at 119 E. Main Street.

·        Mr. Bow advised the Commission that the Ordinance grants the Planning Commission some discretion as to site plan requirements.  This change in use, to a deli, will result in a net increase of eleven required spaces.  The Ordinance (153.501) does allow the Planning Commission to waive the parking requirements.  If this waiver is approved, the need for  formal site plan approval will not be required.  As there is ample parking in the municipal parking lots, administration is recommending the waiver be approved for the additional required eleven parking spaces.

 

 

 

General Discussion:

                       

Administration will be contacting Planning Commission and City Council members to     schedule a joint meeting for the beginning of May.

 

 

Adjournment:

 

            MOTION by Kozan, supported by Owens, to adjourn.

 

            Yea: 8

            Nay: 0

            Motion carried.  Meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
