Re: Conditional Use Review, Parking Lot 17 Hillside at O’Brien Farm
Dear Board Members:
At our Public Hearing on May 4, 2022, we discussed the Staff Report dated May 4, 2022, regarding Site Plan
Application SP-22-008 and Conditional Use Application CU-22-01, for proposed parking located on Lot 17 at Hillside at
O’Brien Farm. The May 4th staff report included five numbered items for the Boards attention, which were discussed at
the public hearing. The staff report also included a request for front yard coverage calculations to be provided. Please
see specific items below which correspond to the numbered staff report. Immediately below, please find the front yard
coverage calculations.
Lot 17 Front Yard: 7,525 square feet.
Lot 17 Front Yard Coverage: 1,400 square feet.
Lot 17 Front Yard Coverage Percentage: 18.6%
1. The four parking spaces noted in this comment have been relocated as shown on the enclosed updated site
plans. Updated landscape plans are also provided as the overall layout of the site and parking changed to
accommodate the moving of these spaces.
2. As noted above and as requested in this staff comment, the four parking spaces in question have been
relocated within the C1-LR Zoning District. Please see the enclosed plan for details. Please note that the
discussion regarding the zoning line prompted our civil engineer to confirm that our plans included up to
date GIS mapped district lines. They did not. After importing the correct lines, this particular issue became
much less problematic and all parking spaces shown on the plan located on Lot 17 are now within the C1-LR
district.
3. No further information is provided in response to this discussion which was resolved at the hearing.

4. As discussed at the hearing, the Board will allow the aggregation of interior parking lot landscaping between
all three lots. As shown in the updated landscape parking island calculations enclosed with this
supplemental the parking area complies with this regulation.
5. The applicant discussed this criterion with the board at the hearing. Our landscape architect provided
testimony that they felt the islands as designed provide sufficient space for healthy tree growth. Given this,
the Applicant was not instructed to make any changes to the island sizes. The landscape island calculation is
provided for review with this supplemental.
Lastly, the Applicant would request that this Conditional Use permit be provided the same timing for issuance of
zoning permits as contemplated and allowed in the main project permits for the associated project which this parking
area serves.
Thank you as always for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Andrew Gill, Director of Development
