NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
5600 SQ FT BUILDING ADDITION
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Planning Board approved the site plan for the 5,000 square foot building expansion based upon the plans submitted with the
application.
In granting the major site plan, the Board determined that the criteria in section 11.6 had been met for the addition to the site.
Specifically:
1. The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses. The building expansion will enable outdoor
operations to be relocated interior to the structure and the site will be improved.
2. The requested addition would have no impact on access to the site as the building addition would be located on the portion of the site
furthest from driveway access and parking. There will be no increase in trips based upon the expansion.
3. The site will function harmoniously in relation to other structures and open spaces to the natural landscape, existing buildings and
other community assets in the area as it relates to landscaping, drainage, sight lines, building orientation, massing, egress, and
setbacks. Rear and/or side wall facades within 50 feet of a completed or planned section of a cycle track or bike path shall have features
that invite pedestrian access from that side of the building; and
4. The requested use will not overload, and will mitigate adverse impacts on, the City's resources, including the effect on the City's water
supply and distribution system, sanitary and storm sewage collection and treatment systems, fire protection, streets and schools.
