Request for a Site Review Approval, Administrative Variance to the Site Design Standards to eliminate the required landscape buffer between property lines, a Variance to reduce the required number of off-street parking spaces as allowed for renovation of historic buildings, a Variance to use more than 50% of the provided off street parking spaces as compact spaces and a Variance to provide the required disabled parking space on street to allow for the operation of a coffee house/wine bar.
Applicant: David Gremmels/Carlos Delgado
Chairman Shostrom read the description of the proposed project and asked if there were conflicts of interest or exparte contacts. There were none.
Ms. Barry stated the subject property received a historic special assessment designation in 2000 from SHPO. She explained that the applicants planned to demo the existing shed and rebuild a smaller one. The new shed would have lap siding and a tin roof to match the original building. Approval is also needed from SHPO. The variance would be to reduce the required parking spaces from six spaces to three with two being compact and only one regular space. The handicap space would be provided on the street.
There were no further questions of staff.
Carlos Delgado, the architect, described the design details and showed color chips of the proposed paint. Mr. Watkins asked about signage. Mr. Delgado said he would like a painted sign on front faηade. Mr. Skibby asked about column details, but Mr. Delgado said there were none.
There being no one else in the audience wishing to speak, Chairman Shostrom closed the public meeting.
With a motion by Mr. Skibby and a second by Mr. Swink, the Historic Commission unanimously recommended approval.
