The original application was for an external enclosed vestibule, but <br />due to estimated construction costs, the applicants now plan to create the vestibule within the existing <br />building and just add an open pergola at the main entrance. The applicants are also planning to make <br />minor interior space revisions near the vestibule area. <br /> <br />Staff finds the proposed pergola is relatively non-obtrusive and is compliant with the zoning code. There <br />are no impacts to the neighborhood and the pergola does not change the nature of the site or how the site <br />is used. The applicant will need to relocate two of the three existing handicap parking stalls but parking <br />availability on the site appears adequate in order to make this revision. <br /> <br />Staff is recommending approval subject to a pergola design being submitted prior to Council review of <br />the application and replacement of the handicap parking stalls that will be eliminated by the pergola. <br /> <br />Landgraver asked if the structure will be located over the existing blacktop. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated it will be partially over the existing asphalt driveway and sidewalk. <br /> <br />Von Edeskuty, Applicant, stated he had nothing to add to Staff’s report. <br /> <br />Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 9:52 p.m. <br /> <br />There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> <br />Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 9:52 p.m. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated she visited the site and that in her view this will be a nice addition to the building. <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 06/16/2014 <br />Aproval of Planning Commission Minutes 05/19/2014 <br />[Page 30 of 31]
