1. Minutes of the Planning Commission
1987 were submitted and approved.
2. SPECIAL REVIEW AMENDMENT
meeting held June 15,
2.a.____Amendment of Special Review #87-3 Concept Plan-
Revised Parking Location (Bed and Breakfast
Lane).
at 441 Chiguita
The original request for Special Review #87-3, Bed and
Breakfast, was approved by the Town Board in March, 1987.
Planner Stamey stated that petitioner now wishes to relocate
the six parking spaces from the west side of Lot 129 to the
east side of Lot. 129, along Chiguita Lane. He stated the
revised location would make the parking more visible to the
other residential properties to the east.
Mr. Reggie Fowler, petitioner, stated his reason for
relocating the parking area was so an English Garden could
be developed on the west side with a view of the mountains.
He stated the new parking area would be adjacent to the
present basketball court where a security light is already
in place. There are presently two trees which partially
shield the neighbors to the east and it is his intent to add
additional landscaping around the new parking area to screen
it from Chiguita Lane.
Member Brown stated that since surrounding neighbors had not
been notified of this revised request, it should be for
warded to the Town Board for review. Member Brown moved
that this request be favorably recommended to the Town Board
with the condition that applicant provide a landscape plan
for Town Board review. Member Wood seconded the motion and
it passed unanimously.
