Items <br />denied include a special permit to add to a non-conforming building as well as a variance for the <br />structure not complying with front and rear setbacks, excessive lot coverage and variances <br />related to a ground sign thereby rendering the remaining variances moot. <br />Changes made include the building addition reduced from 940 to 788 square feet, the ground <br />sign eliminated, the dumpster enclosure relocated to the east side of the building. Planting beds <br />were added along the west property line, along the street frontage and adjacent to the parking <br />area and the number of plantings for all beds was increased.
