Subject: S.P. 2010 -0042 David Brown Public Garage
I have reviewed the initial submittal and have the following comments:
1. Depending on how many vehicles will need parking spaces outside the garage as they await
repair or pickup, the existing paved driveway area may not accommodate all necessary
parking. By my rough calculations, there is sufficient room for the five (5) spaces required (two
for the dwelling and one for each service bay). However, this number does not include any
parking for vehicles awaiting repair. Please ask the applicant to explain how he is going to
handle parking for vehicles that are either awaiting repair or have repair completed and are
awaiting pickup.
2. We will need a sketch plan that depicts the entrance and the area for vehicles awaiting repair
(if applicable) as well as available parking area. The plan should also show any outdoor
storage or features if proposed, such as oil barrels, outdoor vehicle lifts, storage or parts and
the like. With this type of use, we typically impose a condition to limit the area and /or number
of vehicles awaiting repair. Once we have the information request in #1 and #2, we will do an
onsite visit to see how it can work.
3. It will be good to ask the applicant to address issues such as: a) is he proposing a paint
booth? b) how will he handle storage and disposal of fluids such as oil and the like?
