• American Legion Rezoning, CUP, Site Plan July 14, 1999 page 5 affect her business. One neighbor stated he understood it was to be a ladies' auxiliary facility and was distressed that it actually would be a full Legion hall. A neighborhood meeting was arranged for June 16. Staff received several calls from neighbors since then expressing concern about the project. SITE AND BUILDING PLAN REVIEW Building: The existing building is approximately 2540 sf. The addition would double this. The addition would include a kitchen, restrooms, and new open floor for dining and other uses. This would add onto existing space that would be renovated, to total about 2850 sf of open dining area. The existing metal building will be refaced. The lower portion will be refaced with facing brick. The upper portions will be resided with horizontal metal siding. The siding will be ivory. The roof will be green. Lighting: A lighting plan for the site includes parking lot lighting that shines down rather than upward into the night sky. We have no information on lighting on the building walls. These also should shine down, not up or out. The Community Service Officer of the Police Dept. also will need to review the lighting for the site.

The addition to the existing building will not prevent a new drive from being added. Impervious Surface: The GB zone allows for a maximum of 75% impervious surface. The site plan includes less than 50 %. If a 24 ft. wide common drive were to be added, the total impervious would be approximately 55% of the site. Landscaping, Screening, Tree Preservation: An area of tree growth exists along the back of the lot. It will be partially cleared for parking and ponding, but most of the trees
