August 17, 2023 Regular Meeting

- the intent of the Ordinance's impervious coverage limitations would not be substantially impaired because most of the proposed and existing impervious coverage is attributed to crushed stone, which still allows for sufficient stormwater penetration into the earth, and because the Applicants would be installing a drywell, which will further mitigate any runoff potential; - the intent of the Ordinance's parking area paving, curbing, and marking requirements would not be impaired because the proposed parking area at issue will not be used by members of the public and will be effectively screened by way of proposed landscaping and fencing.
