13. Dr. Klausner wishes to continue to use the property for his dental practice. He desires to expand the physical space of the building to improve efficiency, and to meet COVID-19 cleaning protocols that extend the periods between patients. The increase in down time for treatment rooms reduces the number of patient visits per day. 14, The proposal is to add additions to the front and rear of the building, and to reconfigure the floor plans in a manner that will (a) increase treatment rooms from three (3) to five (5); (b) add a sanitization room; and, (c) relocate the main entrance and waiting area in the rear (no longer on the driveway).
