TYPE I PLANNING ACTIONS

REQUEST FOR SITE REVIEW APPROVAL TO CONSTRUCT A TWO-STORY MIXED-USE BUILDING CONSISTING OF 2,245 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND A SINGLE RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM ON THE SECOND FLOOR, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF A STREET BETWEEN FIFTH AND SIXTH STREETS.  THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE DETAIL SITE REVIEW ZONE. 

APPLICANT:  JERRY KENEFICK

Dotterrer declared a potential conflict of interest as Mr. Kenefick is a good friend of his.  Kenefick disclosed to Dotterrer earlier in the process that he was going to do a planning action.  They did not discuss the specifics of the project, and Dotterrer did not feel his contact with Kenefick would bias his decision.  Stromberg and Dawkins felt Dotterrer could be objective and could participate in this action.

This action stands approved.
