Driveway Spacing Variance
This is the proposed site plan presented at 1st reading. No changes have occurred since your June 2nd meeting. 12,000 square foot building, 48 parking spaces. 56% impervious coverage.
The plan does indicate a 132 square foot storage building with grey brick to match the building. The use is for the True Zero corporate headquarters and as mentioned last meeting they
are consulting engineers that provide MEP consultation, engineering and design services primarily for schools and major retail projects. In addition there is a drivewayspacing variance.
Also, City Council may recall that during the first reading – it was recommended that absent of an agreement with the property to the north to remove trees to create a clear line of
site the drive would only be approved as a right out only.
One parking space removed to save existing trees.
Previously proposed covered parking structure removed.
Variance to driveway
spacing remains – 250’ required / 185’ provided.
