Title
Resolution to Approve 808 Tappan Street Site Plan, 0.25 Acre (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution requesting approval of the above site plan to allow the construction of a three-story, 880-square foot addition to the rear of the existing structure at 808 Tappan Street. A total of four units and 24 tenants are proposed as a result of the addition.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of December 16, 2008, recommended approval of the site plan, subject to permission from the Zoning Board of Appeals to alter a nonconforming structure. On December 17, 2008, the Zoning Board of Appeals granted this permission.
The City Planning Commission also recommended approval of the site plan subject to the petitioner working with staff to provide a total of 12 bicycle parking spaces, preferably Type A or B (covered). Subsequently, the petitioner revised the site plan to include 4 covered (Type A) and 8 uncovered (Type C) bicycle parking spaces on the site (see revised site plan attached). The petitioner was unable to provide 12 covered spaces, given the site's geometry and building constraints.
