In 1993, Council approved S-1067 to convert the existing residential
structure on the front of this property to an office/gift shop and to
allow for nine asphalt parking spaces. Th~ parking, as shown on the
approved site plan, was never provided. In 1998, S-1146 was
established to allow for the structure to be occupied by Blue Willow
Market Design, conditioned upon the sign being limited to 10-square
feet, the retail being limited to a maximum of 400-square feet, and
the six parking spaces to be provided as shown on the revised site
plan, which was to be screened by a landscape hedge. This company
never occupied the building, but the parking was constructed in
accordance with the site plan that was attached to the Ordinance.
However, there is no indication that the landscape hedge was ever
installed around the parking lot. An office user, Sovereign

The Old Cappel! Master Plan shows the southern half of the
property as suitable for mixed retail/service uses and the
northern half for residential uses.
The current request is to allow the relocation and
occupancy of a 160 square-foot building that was
previously used for storage. The intended use is an office.
Included in the plans is a 96 square-foot addition to
accommodate a restroom, bringing the total square footage
of the building to 256. The applicant has stated that this
request is to allow for her son, who lives on Mitchell Street,
to use this building as his office for his air conditioning
business. This user would require no additional parking
because he can walk from his residence, and no truck traffic
is anticipated. However, per the requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance, one additional parking space would be
required for this 256 square-foot office. In reviewing the
existing development on the site, there is currently an office
building containing 1,567-square feet. The proposed office
will bring the total square footage to 1,823- square feet.
Based on the parking ratio of one space per 300-square feet
for office, six spaces would be required. There are six
existing spaces; therefore, no additional parking would be
required to serve this use. When this parking configuration
was approved in 1998, it was conditioned upon the
provision of a landscaped screening hedge. Therefore, the
utilization of this existing parking could be supported,
subject to this previously agreed to landscaping being
provided.
Item # 5
