The zoning committee met at 6:00PM on January 7 in the offices of Buckeye Real Estate.
In attendance: Talbott, Golding, Hegley, Hughes, Hupman. Excused: Graver, Serantes, Daniel. Guest: Pasquale Grado
The committee considered a revised plan for the parking lot at 35-37 W. Oakland that is being proposed by the Pavey Trust. The applicant, Susan Martin, attorney for the trust, participated in the meeting by phone.
The committee’s overriding concern was the precedent that approval of this project would set considering the position that the commission has traditionally taken on parking lots beyond Wall and Pearl alleys. Additionally, the committee felt there were other issues that would be difficult to resolve, including:
Restricting use to residents and preventing use by commercial patrons.
Since this lot would serve numerous Pavey properties, the problems that would arise if at some later time properties were sold individually.
Parking can’t continue to be created to accommodate density of residents; there must be control of density.
The committee unanimously recommends disapproval.
Motion: To recommend approval of the variances required to construct a 25 space parking lot in accordance with a site plan dated January 4, 2008 at the rear of 35-37 W. Oakland that would serve residential tenants of properties owned by various Pavey family interests
