Subdivision Review
Story Mansion Subdivision
Project:
September 25, 2009
Date:
Doug Riley
Planner:
The purpose of this subdivision proposal is to separate the
Comments:
buildings on the block from the open space.
It’s following up on the Commission's earlier direction to
formally declare the "open space" (i.e. proposed Lot 1A-2)
dedicated parkland to make a commitment to the community to
permanently protect it from development beyond that would be
(Doug Riley)
the case without declaring it parkland.
Effect:
Makes sale of mansion easier, sale of park more difficult.
Allows uses of building not permitted in parkland (e.g. offices)
Draws the distinction between the park – administered by the Parks
Division and the Mansion – administered by the Recreation Division
A park master plan for the subdivided park will not include amenities for
the buildings.
Options:
It's up to you if you want the RPAB to make an official statement.
Perhaps just indicating that the RPAB would like input (which will
happen anyway) on any future development/improvements on the
(Doug Riley)
parkland area once it created, (e.g. gazebo, etc.).
If there is feeling on the board that this proposal should be challenged or
endorsed, we have that opportunity.
