requested use bears a positive relationship to the public convenience,
as the additional parking space will alleviate some of the parking
congestion in the immediate and surrounding areas; that the requested
use will relieve traffic congestion and improve pedestrian safety; that
the requested use will not overload any municipal systems; and that
the expansion of parking space will not be detrimental nor impair the
character of the zone; (see conditions below in reference to Article XI).
P. Laband concurred that all criteria are fulfilled.
R. Buscher also concurred with Mr. Brandt's findings.
The following conditions shall apply:
1. That if more than 500 c.y. of fill are found to be necessary
in the construction of this parking area, an additional
Special Permit will be required.
2. That if the proposed parking area is found to be located in
a floodplain, an additional Special Permit will be required
