two residential spaces.

C. Engineerinq Comments
(1) Concerned about lack of internal circulation with
no way to go from one parking lot to another.
Suggest that double -loaded parking lot be provided
on the east side against parking lot on the west.
(2) Indicate square footage of landscaping to be
provided.
(3) Remove improvements from the alley.
D. Issues/Legal/Technical/Design
(1) Plan indicates office use on this site.
(2) Support is not given for any stripping,
refinishinq, or upholstery work in the cleaning
room.
(3) Restrict use of second floor to owner -occupancy
only. Specify in Bill of Assurance.
(4) No support of expanded business. Place provision
and Bill of Assurance for this structure and only
one accessory building.
E. Staff Recommendation
Approval, subject to comments made. Ordinarily staff
would not recommend approval of commercial on this
site. It is felt that the distinction factor in this
case is the type of commercial use proposed and its
mixture with the residential use. Staff does not see
an antique store as creating a very heavy flow of
traffic like many other businesses. Support of this
proposal does not indicate future support for general
commercial in the area. This proposal is viewed as low
intensity, mixed use.
