Planner Skelton stated that they will have to relocate the water and sewer lines as they are using up what little boulevard space is left. Mr. Gaston asked if the City could install a meter pit in the middle of the yard. Mr. Woodward responded that is unnecessary as the plat shows a room in the building for the meters.

Mr. Iwaniak stated that the original document states that it is a sewer, water, and emergency access.

INFORMAL REVIEW 1. Carlson MiSP - (Patterson) 122 W. Lamme - Conversion of residence on the National Historic Register to an antique shop. Need opinions on parking and access including a deviation for a 12' access drive. Planner Dean Patterson presented the project. It is located in a "B-3" District which requires no side yards. Mrs. Carlson is requesting options for parking. She is going to request a deviation for a 12' driveway so they don't have to tear out an existing tree. He stated that Mrs. Carlson will need two parking spaces plus one handicapped space. Mrs. Carlson stated that she will be using approximately 660 square feet of the structure for the antique shop. She is interested in keeping the yard as it is as it's the only grass on the 7 block. She liked the configuration of the landscaping plants around the building. There followed a discussion on parking areas. Chairperson Skelton stated that Mrs. Carlson may need a variance for an option that requires backing up into traffic. Mr. Bolling stated that they prefer not to have to curb the whole lot as it is like a residential unit. Mr. Forbes stated that the 12' driveway isn't a problem for him. Chairperson Skelton stated that curbing could be a problem. Mr. Forbes stated that the purpose of curbing is to control runoff and protect the landscaping. Chairperson Skelton stated that these would all require variances. It would be up to City Commission to grant them. This project will be a Minor Site Plan and a Certificate of Appropriateness Application with Deviations. Mr. Mabee stated that accessibility for handicapped will need to be addressed. Mr. Bolling explained his ideas for meeting this requirement, widening a doorway and installing a ramp on the front entrance which is on Grand Street. He inquired about the possible locations for signage. Planner Patterson stated that the Applicant will have to include her signage proposal with her application. 8
