Recommendation and Review
The property is located along the north side of Ashby Avenue but is addressed as 907 North Main Street. The parcel has 104 feet of lineal road frontage, where 40-feet of it is zoned B-2 and 64-feet is zoned R-2.
Planning Commission recommended approval (6-0) of the rezoning request for a portion of the property identified as tax map parcel 41-C-44 with the following proffers:
· Along the entire length of the western and northern property lines, where the adjacent property is zoned residentially, for a width of 10-feet, the existing vegetation (including all trees and shrubbery) shall be maintained to assist in providing a buffer between the property and the adjacent residentially zoned property. In addition, evergreen trees shall be planted and maintained within the 10-foot buffer zone with the intent to form a dense screen. The evergreen trees shall be three to four feet in height at the time of planting and shall be planted at no greater than 5-foot centers.
· A six-foot solid, opaque fence shall be installed along the same boundaries as identified above.
