Resolution PZ 94-10: Landscaping/Site Plan Review -Schilling Uptown Motel Addition MOTION: Goecke MOVED approval of Resolution PZ 9410. Pierce SECONDED. Discussion: Jack La Shot reported that parking was an Administrative concern. By Code the total development, with the new restaurant, etc. would require 95-100 parking spaces, and that the code allows a reduction of 75% for multiple uses on the same lot. Which brings the allotment down to 71-72 spaces as submitted, there is also some on-street parking available along Ryan's Drive. The area to be landscaped will run along the front of the proposed addition. Administration would recommend approval with the applicant working with Administration to resolve parking issues. Louis Schilling explained that there is not too much space to allow landscaping. Currently they maintain the area which is in the State R.O.W., they will also develop a small area in front of the new addition. He agreed to work with La Shot to address the parking situation.
