Mr. Bryan Rogers, Better Design Resources, the applicant, stated that the ramp is
required due to public access, whether it is employees or customers. The existing

sidewalk measures four feet at the asphalt drive and blends around the building to
nine foot wide on up to the ramp. The railing will have period style spindles and
columns. Ms. 011ie cautioned Mr. Rogers to not create tandem parking, which the
new proposed plan creates a single parking space on the existing asphalt drive.

easement from sidewalk to existing parking lot.
