applicant is proposing to install six parking spaces. The plans state concrete, but currently there is gravel
with a gravel drive.The ordinance requires concrete for the drive, and for the parking spaces.
The proposed plans indicate vertical siding that will be five inches in width. The ordinance requires
horizontal siding of four to five inches in width. A six-foot wide sidewalk is required, but not shown on
the plans.
Board Discussion
Ms. 011ie read Chair Taylor's comments, with the main concern being no definite plans submitted and the
use is not clearly defined. The plans submitted are vaporish and elusive. The proposed plan indicate a
residential use, kitchen,bedroom and shower.The applicant proposes on the application that all codes and
conduct will comply. However, the drawings do not define the material and a portable building does not
comply with historic district standards.
Chair Stone questioned if the property is large enough for two commercial uses. Ms. 011ie stated that the
property is large enough; the parking will not meet the setbacks. The utilities is a concern, this would
have to be met.
Mr. Ash Patel, applicant for the subject property, stated that parking will be concrete for the new
structure. The main structure does not require on-site parking, on-street parking is allowed. The intent is
to allow someone to live in the new structure, as well as have a business office. Ms. 011ie stated that her
interpretation of the ordinance for mixed-use on a piece property, is for one structure, and not two
different structures. She encouraged the Commissioners not to approve the item, until additional research
for the mixed-use proposal on an additional structure on a single lot.
