 The Jackson Planning
Commission held their two year
review of the New York Ranch Center, Inc. parking. When originally
approved on April 18th 2005 the Planning Commission granted a
request by the applicants, New York Ranch Center, Inc., to postpone the
reconfiguration of their parking lot in accordance with their Planned Development
for a period of two years. The purpose for the delay was to allow completion and occupancy of the remaining
building to better determine the parking needs.
The Resolution passed by
the Planning Commission, at that time, required that the corporation provide
the City with a bond to cover any required reconfiguration and striping plus
10% for administrative overhead in the event that the Commission felt the
reconfiguration was necessary. Last night the applicants were requesting that
the parking reconfiguration and bond requirement be removed from the Planned
Development “the owners reviewed
the parking situation in light of the full build out of the Center and the
addition of the swimming pool for New York Fitness” and found parking to be
sufficient. The Planning Commission approved the resolution with a slight
modification to the date.
 It was deja vou all over again as a request regarding
a lot split at 10 Smalley Avenue appeared before the planning Commission for the
second time. Previously in
February the applicants, John and Connie Gonsalves, requested a variance to allow
construction of three single family residential units to encroach 15 feet into
the required 25 foot front yard setback, in accordance with the property’s
(R-3) Multi-Family Dwelling zoning
which allows for which allows for densities in the R-1 and R-2 zones along with
threeplexes, fourplexes, and bungalow courts.
The Planning Commission decided
that the lot was poorly zoned and made a motion to re-zone the property to R-2,
which would allow for the construction of two single family dwelling units, or
one duplex. The Gonsalves’ returned last night with the proposal to divide one
11,931 square foot site into
two lots. Parcel A would be 5,294 sq. feet and Parcel B 6,637 sq. feet. A
single family residence and detached garage currently exists on site, however
the residence will be removed and rebuilt in a different location on the
lot while the garaged will be expanded into a single family residence. The planning
commission approved the split last night, however the commission also removed
the possibility of multifamily zoning on either of the newly created lots by
changing the zoning to R-1 for both lots.
