<br />'\' 1\ <br /> <br />Smff has also expressed concern with the lack of a stonn water system for the temporary lot and <br />has suggested that the paving be done in way which would allow the storm water to run off <br />toward the street, which has a stonn water collection system. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson stated that the proposed tent is off-while and is the same tent that the applicant has <br />used the past few years. He noted that the applicant plans to illuminate the tent and dining area <br />again this year and staff believes <br />it presents a festive appearance for the holiday season. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson suggested that when the applicant appears before the Commission on her application <br />for the pennanent parking lot, that the Commission consider giving her pennission to erect the <br />tent each year. He stated that smff recommends approval of the application, subject to the <br />conditions listed in Exhibit "B" to the smff report. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kumaran asked who was responsible for insuring the safety of the tent structure. <br />Mr. Iserson responded that the Building Department and Fire Department will inspect the tent <br />to be sure it meets the codes. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED <br /> <br />The applicant, Maricela Barone, 493 St. John Street, smted that she agreed with Mr. Iserson's <br />summary. She confinned that due to other financial commitments, she was unable to construct <br />the pennanent parking lot as was directed by this Commission last year. She emphasized that <br />she intends to build the pennanent parking lot next Spring. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED <br /> <br />Commissioner Lutz smted that he will support the application, but he does not want to review <br />the tent issue again unless the applicant follows the Commission's instruction in building the <br />pennanent parking lot by next Spring. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wright agreed with Commissioner Lutz and, therefore, will support the <br />application. <br /> <br />Commissioner Barker supports the application and agrees that the temporary parking lot is <br />needed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kumaran noted that his concern regarding safety had been satisfactorily <br />addressed, and he is in support of the application. <br /> <br />Chair Cooper stated that he is in support of granting the application for the temporary parking <br />lot and the tent, but he agreed with the other Commissioners that the parking lot situation needs <br />to be resolved. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />November 12, 1997 <br />
