Mr. Gomersall explained that planning commission would like to retain at least 16 feet of landscaping aud recommended that one additional parking space be granted by taking the 8 feet adjacent to the building plus one foot of the shaded area on the plan and re-striping the parking lot, iu order to have a total of seven parking spaces in that area. Mr. Ruby explained he would like to use a 240 square foot open area for the additional parking spots. He stated that the property next door has a two or three foot buffer and they are proposing a five foot landscaped buffer. Mr. Maloney explained that some of these buildings were built prior to these requirements. Mr. Ruby explained the parking has to be iucreased because there are not enough spaces to accommodate all 14 employees. Nfr. Gomersall agreed, since people were parking on the grass, however the city would like to retain as much green area as possible. Ms. Boyle is in agreement with the parking space in the back, however, she preferred that as much greenery as possible should be preserved. In response,U Ruby explained the length will be reduced but the landscaped buffer will be widened. He believed tha _ this will actually be increase the greenery and beautify the area. Mr. Koberna would rather see the parking increased than people parkuig ou the grass, but asked if the employees could stagger the parking in the front by blocking each other in during the day. A key could be left in the office and someone could move the vans as needed. In response, Mr. Ruby stated that most .of the vans are in the back of the building. The board discussed the proposal, and came to a consensus that would approve this proposal if Mr. Ruby agreed to reduce it to a 10 foot rather than a 12 foot variance. Mr. Gomersall believed this would increase the greenery two feet yet still leave adequate room for the parking. Mr. Ruby agreed to reduce the request two feet. T.
