PUBLIC HEARINGS
Item No. 4: Final Subdivision Plan Revision - Grandview Avenue and
Essex Streets - Darbro, Inc.
a. Applicant requests final subdivision plan approval for a revision
to the approved Darbro Subdivision located off Essex Street and
Grandview Avenue.
b. The proposed revision is submitted due to major changes in the
utility services for the subdivision. There are only minor changes
in the lotting. A revision is in order because the easements for the
sewer and water lines are on the final plan.
C. The City Engineer's Office has reviewed the Proposed changes i
utility service and finds them to be acceptable. Staff would recommend
final plan approval.
Item No. 5: Contract Zone Change - 136 Union Street - Felix G. Realty
Trust and John A. Cashman - C.O. p 88-200.
a. Applicant requests a zone change from Residential 5 Zone to Commercial2 Zone subject to certain limitations and restrictions for a parcel
of land located at 136 Union Street.
b. The parcel in question is located on the corner of Union Street and
First Street; Valentine Elementary School building. Presently, the
American Legion uses the building.
This area of Union Street, north of First Street and Columbia Street,
is primarily zoned Residential 5 with a few lots zoned Civic and
Institutional. The uses in the area are mixed, the majority being
residential, with civic and office uses being secondary.
c. The City's land use Policy for this area is for high density residential
development. Presently, the R-5 Zone allows 2,000 sq. ft. of office
space
aspecial
exception. proposed
nntract xuld allow fortereuseoftheexistigbuilding for office space, approximately sq. ft.
The decision before the Board is twofold; one,is the proposed office
use compatible with the area, and two, can the lot support the level
of activity proposed by the applicant.
d. It is the Opinion of the Planning Staff that the proposed reuse would
allow a level of activity which the existing lot cannot support. The
parking demand for an 8,000 sq. ft. office building would be approximately
27 spaces. The existing site does not have sufficient area to provide
half of the required parking.
Staff is additionally concerned that the proposed contract provides no
means to mitigate any adverse impacts from adjacent residential
properties.
