PROPOSAL
Continued operation of an existing contractor’s shop (swimming pool contractor sales and
storage business) is requested. Modifications to the operationalboundary, buffer widthand
paved parking requirements are proposed as outlined herein. All other previously proffered
conditions of Cases90SN0225 and 07SN0381 have been offered as a part of this request.
Operational Boundary
The applicant proposes a family subdivision of the parent parcel toinclude the request
property.Three (3) new parcels would be created from the parent parcel. One parcel will
convey to the applicant, a second parcel will convey to the applicant’s sister and the
request property will convey to the applicant and sister jointly.
Buffers
A 500 footbuffer is currentlyrequired between the business areas and adjacent property
lines. The family division will result in a new property line being located within seventy-five
(75) feet of the business areas. Within this seventy-five (75) feet area, the applicant
proposes to retain a vegetated buffer area to provide separation and minimize visual
impact of the use.
Paved Parking
The contractor’s shop is served by a paved driveway, three (3) paved parking spaces, a
secondary gravel access drive and a gravel parking area. Current proffered conditions
require that all driveway and parking areas be paved. To minimize further improvements
515SN0604-2015FEB11-BOS-RPT
to the request property, no further paving of the graveled drives orparking areas would be
required.
The following provides an overview of proffered conditions offered by the applicant to mitigate
the impact of the business on area properties:
