Variance to allow gravel as an acceptable parking/driving surface. Ward 4A. A public meeting was held. Ms. Brenda Sulmonetti, Applicant and Mr. John Elliott, Builder presented a request for a variance to allow gravel as an acceptable parking/driving surface. There was no opposition to this variance. The board members asked what type of material was used and how it would hold up over time. Mr. Elliott said the material is crushed slate aggregate that is heavily compacted and rolled with a roller just like when you roll asphalt. It is very long lasting, at most maybe roll over it again in five (5) years or so. The public hearing was closed. A motion was made by Mr. Hunter to grant the application as requested with the stipulation that only slate and not gravel be used as a parking/driving surface now and in the future, on the basis that it would not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the development site, or to the public health, safety, or general welfare. It was seconded by Mr. Mills. The Motion carried 4-0-0. A motion was made by Board member Hunter, seconded by Board member Mills, that this matter be Approved as Stipulated.
