The sub - ject property is located at the southeast corner of Ramsey Street and unimproved Western Avenue and is described as Lots 20 through 24, Block 2, Whitacre Brisbine 6 Mullins Subdivision. The subject property also includes the west 33 feet of Lot 26, and that part of Lisbon Street vaca#tedcarid adjoining the west 33 feet of Lot 26, Block 2, Whiteacre Brisbine 6 Mullins Subdivision which fronts on the north side of Oakland Avenue. All of this property is classified in the "C" residence district and has been since-1922. Field investigation discloses that the subject property is unique in character because of its unusual topography and relation to adjoining streets as well as being on the side hill of a natural bluff which separates the SummittAvenue area from the lower West Seventh Street district. Until recently this property was developed with two (2) single - family residences and one two - family house. Two of these structures-have been removed, and the third one will be. The property has a,frontage_of 246.5 feet along the south side of Ramsey Street and 123.23 feet along the east side of unimproved Western Avenue resulting in an area of 30,376 square feet. The surrounding area land uses are predominately single and two — family in nature with the exception of the University Club some distance to the west. The proposed development will exceed the existing density sneiar_dc wh; �h- p.��mit a maximum of 30 units b_y.,,� 'ts. The 1 ;fining Board staff felt _that this density was unrealistic and that..a maximum density of 60 units would be proper for this type of development, providing that the building does not cover more than 170 of the site area: The proposed structure'^occupies 25% of the site. The 11 storv. 120 foot high buildina.as Dronosed exneeds the maximum allnwahlP all of the requirements of the 1 47.5. feet, and the proposed building line would red setback. The off - street parking facility meets off - street parking ordinance. 1 � Richard Gerlach After conducting three (3) hearings on this matter and after hearing both the Planning Board staff and the applicant, the Board of Zoning recommended the approval of the applicant's appeals and request for a permit to establish an off = street parking facility as submitted.
