combined to create a commercial building that is nonconforming which creates the need for a special permit. The addition will meet setback requirements, the use is a quiet use which will not create an adverse impact to the neighborhood and additional parlcing is not warranted. The site improvements and storm water drainage are benefits of the project. Mr. Gareau said the special permit would be forwarded to City Council for their review prior to any permits being issued. Mrs. Diver said increasing lot coverage by 9% wasn't significant and did not object to less parlcing to add green space. Mr. Lopez said the addition seems significant but will be tucked behind the building and not be visible. The use of the site will not increase parlcing so he does not object to the variances. The site is being cleaned up and the retention will help alleviate any water issues. Mrs. Bellido felt the addition and landscaping would enhance the area. Ms. Rudolph said as the lots were first residential then zoned retail and redeveloped. There is no other option for the applicant other then moving their business therefore she does not object to the request.
