Dear Sir:
+ � r
This is in the matter of (1) the appeal of Geo. L. Ostrand for a permit
for an apartment building development and its accessory off - street parking
lot which is authorized on part of a lot to be extended to include the
entire lot on property located on the west side of Westminster Street be-
tween York and Sims Avenues and (2) an application for an eleven car private
off - street parking lot accessory to the apartment building. The property
is described as the north 97 feet of the south 147 feet of Lot 3, Block 5,
Edmund Rice's 4tb Addition.
Eighty -six per cent of the property under consideration'is zoned light
industry and the remainder is zoned "B" residence. The site is presently
vacant and is about 20 feet above the grade of Westminster Street. The
applicant proposes to grade the lot to an elevation similar to the West-
minster Street grade and develop it as outlined above.
North and adjoining are two single - family residences fronting on Westminster
Street; south and adjoining and fronting on Westminster Street is a two -story
frame store building now converted to a two- family residential use; east
across Westminster Street are single - family residences fronting on Westminster
Street; west and adjoining is vacant land which is substantially below the
grade of the property under consideration. Field investigation discloses
no basic objections as the proposed use is residential and the applicant's
proposed plan provides for generotae yard area. The applicant's proposal
as reflected on his plot plan would position his building on that portion
of the lot now zoned light industrial, and that the most northerly 14 feet,
which is zoned "B" residence, would be used as a screen buffer to the park-
ing lot and driveway to the parking lot. The proposed building would be
40 feet from the north property line. The recommended standards for density
and building ground coverage are generously met. The traffic engineer has
approv ?d the parking lot plan which meets the standards for this type of
facility.
In cq sideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends (1)
the granting of the appeal to permit the extension of a use to the entire
to 'and (2) the approval of the application for a permit to establish and
operate an 11 car parking lot accessory theAo on the above described pro-
perty in accordance with plans approved February 4, 1960'.
