Item -Wo. 4i Final Subdivision Plan Revision - 826 Ohio Street - Sheldon
Hartstone
a. Applicant requests final subdivision planrevision to add three
residential units to the previously approved 18 residential unit
developmental subdivision known as Willowbrook Run located at 826
Ohio Street in a Residential 4 and Residential 5 Zone.
b. AC the time of this memorandum the City Engineer's Office has not
reviewed the Final Plan as required by the Subdivision Regulations.
The Planning Staff finds the plan i conformance with Final Plan
approval requirements. Staff would,, upon favorable review by the
City Engineer, recommend final plan approval.
Item No. 5: Special Exception/Site Plan - 123 Center Street - Paine,
Lynch S Harris
a. Applicant requests special exception/site plan approval to use the
existing building at 123 Center Street as professional office space
in a Residential 5 Zone.
b. The Residential 5 Zone allows offices as a special exception which do
not exceed 2,000 sq. ft. and are located on a major street - Article
10, Section 3(2)(b) and Article -21, Section 2(4). The proposal is
for 1,900 sq. ft. located an Center Street; a major street.
C. The Staff's review of Article 22, Section 2 (a) -.(e) finds the following:
the existing building is located on the corner of Center Street and
Garland Street; the neighborhood is of mixed uses; the properties
immediately abutting this one are one and two unit buildings; and
other uses in the immediate area include the Brookings -Smith Funeral
Home and the Jewish Funeral Chapel.
The Planning Staff finds the proposed site to be marginal at best.
The lot in question 1s only 5,644 sq. ft. in size and substandard
n terms of setbacks. The Code Enforcement Office determined the
proposed office use would require 12 parking spaces and applicant has
received a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals to only require
spaces. Staff would note that the existing four parking spaces
which are immediately adjacent to the street would require backing
off -of or into the street due to a lack of any maneuvering area. The
proposed three space parking area also falls short of the Zoning,
Ordinance standards for parking design. Staff would find the proposed
12 foot wide drive to be too narrow and she maneuvering area within the
parking lot to be insufficient for adequate turning movements.
d. Overall, Staff would find that this area of Center Street is not
unsuited for office use but that the proposed site development is
inadequate to handlethe more intense office use.
Staff would recommend that the proposed office use fails to meet
standards "b" and 'e in Article 22, Section 2.
