VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. 8. #14-3663 PAUL JOHNCOX/LAUREN PATNODE, 3596 SHORELINE DRIVE – COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN REVIEW, VARIANCES AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A RESTAURANT AND OFFICE SERVICE USE – RESOLUTION NO. 6435 Mack stated the applicant is the new owner of the building at this location and is requesting approvals of five variances for building and parking setbacks and maximum site hard cover, a conditional use permit for a Class II Restaurant 3, a conditional use permit for professional office and service use, and site plan review for redevelopment of the building at 3596 Shoreline Drive. The one-story building housed a former cabinet shop which operated for decades and is currently vacant. Also being proposed for the building is a salon on the east side, which is a permitted use and is not formally part of the variance requests. Mack indicated the project would be done in phases. Phase I involves the remodeling of the restaurant and salon, removal of the front parking area, sidewalk improvements, new canopy over sidewalks on south and west sides, painting and new exterior building accents, and a new dining patio with grass and landscaping on the east side of the front yard. Mack displayed photographs of the existing building and parking area. Mack pointed out the two access points that currently exist. Mack noted both access points will be removed and replaced with a new access point, which will greatly improve traffic flow and safety. In addition, the substandard parking lot along the south side of the building will be removed. The applicant is proposing a green space and patio area in the section of the site where the substandard parking lot is located and additional green space on the west side of the building. The current roof will be replaced with a 5-foot canopy and part of the variance request is the expansion of the canopy on the west side. Mack noted that the site is currently developed at 83 percent hardcover. The plan proposes to remove portions of hardcover in the front yard parking area along Shoreline Drive in the first phase.
