Heffron felt that if the tattoo parlor were located on the <br />south end of the building, he would agree with the comments about the <br />residential location. <br />Rheaume stated that he did not have a problem with the proposal, <br />especially with the addition of the licensing requirement. Rheaume noted <br />the other businesses in the area and felt that the tattoo studio would not <br />negatively impact the area. <br />Wojcik felt that the concerns voiced this evening reflected the stigmas <br />attached to tattoo studios. Wojcik indicated that this is a reputable <br />business. He also did not understand the concern about a school bus stop <br />being located near the studio. He noted the hours of operation are <br />proposed at 12 noon to 8 p.m. <br />Wojcik recommended approval of the Text Amendment allowing tattoo <br />parlors as a Conditional Use in the General Business District and a <br />Conditional Use Permit allowing Beloved Ink to operate a tattoo parlor at <br />2760 Lakeshore Avenue as requested by Brandon Heffron contingent <br />upon compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as listed <br />for Option #1 in his report and contingent upon the City Council <br />considering a licensing requirement for tattoo studios. <br />Motion seconded by Socha. <br />Motion failed 2 - 3. Wojcik and Socha voted in favor. Duray, Rheaume, <br />and Hall voted against. <br />The Vice Chair noted the application of Mike and Heidi Murphy, 601 <br />East County Road B -2, for a Variance allowing a second driveway <br />curb cut for their property. <br />Mike Murphy reported that they are requesting the second driveway <br />curb cut for safety reasons, noting the elevation of County Road B -2 <br />as it passes their property as well as the amount of traffic on the street. <br />Murphy reported that they have two small children and have concerns <br />with backing vehicles out of their driveway onto County Road B -2. Their <br />preference would be to pull directly out onto the street. Murphy noted that <br />in designing the horseshoe driveway, they were working to retain a large <br />pine on their property. Murphy noted that they started work on the <br />horseshoe driveway prior to finding out that they would need a.variance to <br />have one. Murphy pointed out that horseshoe driveways are very common <br />in the area and submitted a listing of several that exist. <br />-6- <br />- 2 5 - <br />
