MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 13, 1994 Motion seconded by Schletty. Motion carried 5 - 0. ZONING Mr. George Rossez appeared before the Commission DISTRICT requesting approval of the rezoning of his mother's AMENDMENT - property at 2626 McMenemy Road from B -3 to R -3. 2626 Rossez pointed out that the building was originally MCMENEMY a store which was converted 23 to 24 years ago into a three -unit apartment building. The zoning was never changed to reflect the change in use, however. Rossez reported that he is looking to add two additional apartments in the basement area of the building. Each unit would be approximately 700 square feet, efficiency -type units. Rossez noted the City Planner's comments about the tight parking situation. If the two apartments are added, additional parking would have to be added along the driveway in the back of the building. There is parking at the front of the building which does encroach slightly on the City and the Credit Union parking lots. Schletty asked who own the parking lot in front of 2626 McMenemy Road and the Credit Union. Rossez reported that the City owns the majority of the parking lot area. It was originally owned by the Church. At one time Little Canada Road ran directly in front of the building at 2626 McMenemy Road. Jim Collova, McMenemy Road resident, reported that he lives a few doors down from the site and his brother lives directly next door. Collova stated that he was curious about the driveway situation and whether or not it will be widened. Rossez replied that as proposed with the addition of two units in the building, the driveway would have to be widened to allow for the additional parking spaces. Collova stated that he had no problem with rezoning the property to reflect its use. Collova asked if the rezoning would automatically allow for the addition of the new units, and would the additional parking spaces then be required. 5
