Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Certificate 5-B-21-IH as submitted.Property Notes / Work to be Completed
- Revision to site plan for parking modification. Proposal does not include modifications to house's elevations, front setback, or most details of site plan (approved by Design Review Board in February 2021, 2-A-21-IH). With concrete parking pad and 100' long gravel driveway, the site plan had exceeded the impervious surface limits of the base zoning (RN-2). Instead of a 10' wide by 100' long driveway accessing a concrete parking pad to the rear, the applicant is proposing a 10' wide by 48' long concrete driveway extending from Minnesota Avenue. The alley is not operable.
