e Mr. Petry said that the benefits of the application include bringing the Property into closer compliance with the parking requirements without adding to the building, addressing stormwater flow from the new parking area, and directing it away from the steep slopes. e He also stated that upgrading an existing business and adding landscaping that will enhance the neighborhood and create a more desirable visual environment are benefits. He discussed that no street parking is permitted in the area and the provision of more on-site parking is a safety benefit. e Mr. Petry testified regarding Planning: e Mr. Petry testified that a d.(2) variance for expansion of a non-conforming use is needed for the new parking in PURD zone portion of the lot where restaurant uses are not permitted. e He also reviewed the c variances and waivers. He explained that the lot is unusual in shape and topography and there are hardships in complying with the requirements of the ordinance. The variance for construction within 100 feet of the cliff is required, and that much of the lot including parts of the existing building are within 100 feet, nothing new can be built without being within 100 feet of the cliff. He also reviewed the steep slope disturbance that is required and the design waivers for lighting. e He addressed the August 27, 2025, Planning Memo and testified that a turning plan and pedestrian access plan were provided. He also discussed the change in location of the ADA-compliant/EV parking space. © SP6 (Lighting) e He testified that the lighting is below the standard to the rear and above it at the road. He argued that this was a benefit for safety on the road and for reducing light spillage at the rear. He also testified that the new lights should match the existing which are at 20 feet not the 18 feet required. © §SP2 Overall Plan Break 9:38 PM -9:45 PM.
