Commissioner Meyer seconded the motion. The vote taken was recorded as follows: Ayes Nays Abstentions Excused 5 0 0 2 A. 22-SUB-002: Paula Hart of Hart Engineering, on behalf of Fruit Stand, LLC, owner, is seeking approval of a Boundary Adjustment Plat to consolidate two parcels addressed as 14433 and 14435 Manchester Road and zoned “C-1” Commercial District. Paula Hart provided context for the request. Fruit Stand, LLC purchased the property at 14435 Manchester Road in order to build a parking lot. Per City Code, that is not an allowed use without a primary structure which is why they want to consolidate the two lots. Planner Starck noted that consolidation would eliminate a flag lot and the resulting lot would be a legal lot. She recommended that the Signature Block be amended to reflect the current City Clerk, Michelle Melugin. B. 22-SP-003: Paula Hart of Hart Engineering, on behalf of Fruit Stand, LLC, owner, is seeking approval of a Site Plan to construct a new parking lot on a property located at 14435 Manchester Road and zoned “C-1” Commercial District. Director Streiler noted that this would not only eliminate a flag lot, but also bring the current business at 14433 Manchester Road into compliance with the City’s Parking Code. Nine are required, but they currently only have eight. Two of those spots are used for outdoor storage in accordance with a Special Use Permit leaving only six parking stalls. This site plan would add an additional 29 parking stalls bringing them into compliance. This lot was established prior to the City’s Greenspace Regulations. Therefore, the Planning and Zoning Commission can authorize a waiver of the greenspace requirements. The site will take in a great deal of water and has been given full MSD approval. The lot is currently in a state of disrepair and this site plan would be an improvement to the location. 2 PLANNING & ZONING MINUTES April 11, 2022 Chairman Truesdell made the motion to give a favorable recommendation to the Board of Aldermen regarding CASE #22-SUB-002 with the Title Block amended to reflect the current City Clerk.
