into a Bed & Breakfast. The owners were applying <br />for a COA to make the following three changes: <br />a. Provide required parking spaces for the bed & <br />breakfast patrons as per submitted plan. Parking <br />proposal to involve removal of one damaged.maple <br />tree (to be replaced) and the relocation of three <br />bushes._ Paving -of the area required. <br />b. Place a sign, similar in size and design to the <br />Queen Anne Inn's, in front of the house near the <br />front steps. <br />c. Install air conditioning unit near the rear <br />southeast -corner of the main building - <br />The staff recommended approval of part (a) of the <br />proposal, which allowed the owners to meet City <br />Code parking requirements. No further expansion of <br />the parking area, however, should be permitted. <br />Should additional need for parking arise (and the <br />owner had indicated that it might), the staff <br />recommended that the owner .find alternate means to <br />accomodate the increase. <br />Mr. Eide here asked Mr. Pastor to define "alternate <br />means." Mr. Holycross said arrangements might be <br />made with neighboring businesses to share parking <br />- space, possibly on the street. Such arrangements, <br />- - - --he said, were increasingly being made in cities <br />around the country. <br />Mr..Oxian asked whether the parking spaces would be <br />perpendicular to the curb. Mr. Holycross said <br />that, in previous plans, the spaces were slanted; <br />in the present plans, they were perpendicular. Mr. <br />Oxian then asked whether the parking space beside <br />the carriage house had been eliminated. Mr. Pastor <br />said they had not. <br />- =- Ms. Lisa-MaGuire, leasee and proprietor of the <br />-� proposed bed & breakfast, said that, due to <br />maneuverability problems, she and a surveyor had <br />changed the parking plans. Instead of angled <br />spaces facing Tippecanoe place, they had settled on <br />-- - perpendicular spaces facing the garage. The <br />original drawing did not show a 5' area beneath the <br />garage overhang which allowed additional parking <br />space. <br />The old plans, she said, were drawn up by a <br />previous bidder for the property. The new plans <br />provided much greater maneuverability, and followed <br />the lines of the driveway more gracefully. Area <br />3 <br />
