RE: Petition 25-95
134 South Melrose Avenue
Dear Allen:
The following is a summary of some comments and clarifications
regarding the applicant's statement of purpose and conformance,
and the site plan attached with the referenced petition:
1. Two family dwellings, multiple family dwellings, and upper
floor apartment dwellings should be excluded from the
permitted use list.
2. The City is not obligated to pay for any improvements
associated with the development of this property. The
applicant was advised that he could not improve the property
with a parking lot and parking lot access . He was also
advised that he could have an approach leading to a
driveway, designed in accordance with the standards for
residential driveways in a residence conservation district.
3. The landscaping indicated on the site plan shows both trees
and shrubs planted around and screening the proposed parking
lot. A similar combination of trees and shrubs will be
required to screen the parking lot from neighboring
residences assuming this petition is approved and the
improvements are constructed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 931-5909 if you have any
questions or comments .
Sincerely,
11 ...64446.494%.
