MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 24, 2005 Blesener noted that the Building Official is researching the issue of whether or not the change in use will require the building be sprinkled. Gary Larvy, President of the Park View Court Homeowners Association, reported that he has discussed this proposal with six of the eight townhome owners along Jackson Street. He was unable to reach the other two. Those owners reported that they had no objection to the proposal, buC wanted to ensure that the handicapped space and Jackson Street entrance was not utilized for deliveries. Rick Boss, 72 Bryan Avenue, reported that his backyard abuts this property. His concern was with the condition of the Ruff Cuts fence as well as the poor landscaping that was done of this property. Boss also wanted to ensure that this new entrance was not used for deliveries. Blesener asked if the entrance would be designed for handicapped parking only. Looman reported that Chat was the intent. She again stated the need to provide a handicapped parking space for the lower level. Montour noted that the space would be marked for handicapped parking. If deliveries are being made in that location, the neighbors should call the Sheriff's Department. Looman reported that their plans are to take down the existing fence and replace it with another fence or a hedge that is more aesthetically pleasing. She indicated that the landscaping would be improved as well. Looman noted that the unions they represent are carpenters and landscapers unions; therefore, they want to use this site to showcase their skills. Blesener asked if deliveries would be made at this lower level door. Loosman reported that most of their deliveries will be UPS deliveries and will be received at the front door. However, initially when they are moving furniture into the building, there may be some deliveries at the lower door. The property owner at 82 Bryan Street, questioned the motivation for one handicapped parking space for the lower level and was concerned Yhat Chis entrance would be a delivery entrance. He suggested that an elevator be installed rather than installing the handicapped parking space. It was noted that an elevator would be much more expensive than the handicapped parking space. Montour again suggested that if the handicapped parking space is being used for parking delivery vehicles, that the Sheriff's Department be called. Bob DeBace also expressed concern about deliveries to the lower level door. DeBace also stated that he did not want to see any parking 11
