Mr. Oxian stated that by changing the driveway from the ribbon style to a solid concrete pad would alter the historic fabric of the site and district. Mr. Rubin stated that unfortunately all the driveways left in the district are solid concrete pads. He went on to note that a concrete pad is much easier to maintain then trying to keep the grass under control. Mrs. Choitz moved to recommend approval of the project with the stipulation that additional specifications of the parking lot be submitted. There was some discussion over the size and location of both parking lot options. Mr. Oxian asked if Mr. Rubin needed the larger lot. Mr. Rubin stated that plan `B", which is the larger lot, would be preferable to plan "A". Mr. Oxian asked how many cars plan "A" would hold. Mr. Rubin stated that he did not know how many cars lot "A" would hold. Mrs. Choitz asked- if any landscaping would be installed to shield the neighbors from the new parking lot.
