Questions and Concerns
Parking/Building Uses
•Sherry noted that this is the second the property owner is changing building
and parking lot. She mentioned that the first time the owner didn’t convey
the impact on parking to neighbors.
•Discussion of purpose of building by TCE:
•First floor - commercial, medical office
•Second floor - apartments
•Sherry noted that the neighbors are concerned about the retail visits to the
dermatology office (not just the doctor’s visits).
•TCE can’t speak specifically to duration of visits by clients
•TCE is proposing 18 onsite parking spaces to serve the building, which is
more spaces than currently exist and meets the requirements under
Form Based Code.
•Sherry noted that the neighbors are already unhappy with people parking on
her street by people utilizing the existing business. She noted that she and her
neighbors are concerned that this problem will only get worse with the new
building.

Environmental
•Sherry mentioned that she lost a row of privacy cedars because of salt runoff
from the current parking lot. She was also concerned about runoff from the
parking lot entering the brook.
•TCE noted the following regarding the brook:
•TCE’s environmental scientist conducted a wetland delineation. The 50’
buffer of this wetland does not impact the subject parcel.
•TCE noted that the improved parking surfaces would result in less erosion
issues overall.
•TCE noted that the runoff will be directed toward the brook (not toward
her parcel).
Construction
•Sherry wondered where construction workers will park.
•Jason noted that most workers will park on site and/or across street
•Concern expressed about taking over neighborhood parking
•Assurance that parking will have the majority of workers park on site
•Parking for building after construction brought into question again. Sherry was
frustrated that the current zoning regulations require so little on-site parking.
•TCE proposed more spots than is required, while meeting city
regulations.
•TCE encouraged Sherry to bring her concerns about the parking
regulations directly to the City.
•Jenn gave Sherry her card for further contact information and encouraged
Sherry and/or her neighbor’s to email her with further concerns and questions.
