and submit proof of the required deed restriction to the City prior to the issuance of a Building Permit.

Being no further questions or comments, Josh Corson made a motion to recommend approval of a conditional use permit to the Board of Aldermen per staff recommendations. The motion was seconded by Mark Winings and unanimously approved by the members.

Based on the City’s Bicycle Parking Regulations the proposed restaurant is required to provide one bicycle rack; however, one has not been shown on the plans. Staff recommends that the applicant submit a site plan showing the

4 location of the required bicycle rack in conformance with the Bicycle Parking Regulations, to be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed restaurant meets the requirements contained in the regulations governing conditional uses. The inclusion of a restaurant at this location will add vitality and provide a unique dining establishment in Downtown Clayton. The restaurant space is comparable in size to other restaurants Downtown, and adequate public parking will be available in the 8011 Bonhomme Garage and on the surrounding streets. The proposed hours of operation and method of deliveries are consistent with other restaurants in this area. Based on the information regarding the operation of the restaurant as provided by the applicant, staff is of the opinion that the proposed restaurant will be compatible with surrounding uses and recommends approval with the condition that the applicant submit a site plan showing the location of the required bicycle rack in conformance with the Bicycle Parking Regulations, to be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit.

5 Susan Istenes explained that this is a request for a conditional use permit to allow a 460 square foot second unit on the second floor of the detached garage. The 1.76-acre property is located in the Brentmoor Park Subdivision and has a zoning designation of R-1 Large Lot Single Family Dwelling District. On January 20, 2015, the Architectural Review Board approved plans for a 3- car detached garage at the northeast corner of the lot. At the time of approval, the plans indicated that the second floor of the garage would be unfinished. The applicant now proposes that the second floor be used as a 460-square-foot second living unit.A second unit (carriage house/granny unit) is a type of accessory structure, either attached or detached, which provides complete, independent living facilities for one or more persons including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation and is located on the same site as the principal residence. Susan noted that second units are permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit as per Article VII of this Chapter with certain criteria contained in Section 405.330 of the City’s Zoning Regulations. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed second unit meets the requirements contained in the regulations governing second units. Provided the structure is used in accordance with the requirements for second units, staff believes it will be adequately screened and buffered from neighboring properties and will therefore have minimal impact on the neighborhood. Susan stated that staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to the Board of Aldermen with the following conditions:

6 SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – MAJOR ADDITION TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE – 938 SOUTH CENTRAL AVENUE

Blair and Scott Mehlman, developers, were in attendance at the meeting.

Susan Istenes explained that this is a request for review of the site plan associated with the proposed construction of a 1,128 square foot addition. The 8,971-square-foot site is located on the east side of South Central Drive, just north of Clayton Road, and has a zoning designation of R-2 Single Family Dwelling District. The existing 2-story home measures 1,680 square feet, and the proposed project consists of the construction of a 2-story, 1,128-square-foot rear addition. Because the size of the addition is greater than 50 percent of the existing home, site plan review is required. The applicant has submitted approval from the subdivision trustees. No new HVAC units are proposed. Two existing HVAC units are located on the north side of the home and are screened by a 4-foot tall wood fence. Trash will be stored in a new, 40-square-foot trash enclosure adjacent to the driveway and will be screened by a wooden fence and gate. The existing and proposed impervious coverage on site is 29.9 percent. The proposed impervious coverage is 36 percent which is below the maximum allowable impervious coverage of 55 percent. The existing storm water runoff, according to the MSD 15 year, 20 minute calculation, is 0.48 cubic feet per second (CFS). The proposed runoff is 0.515 CFS, which represents an increase in 0.035 CFS. To mitigate the increase in storm water runoff, the downspouts from the addition will be piped to two pop up bubblers in the rear yard. The Public Works Department has reviewed the site plan and finds the storm water plan acceptable. The landscape plan shows the removal of two trees totaling 62 caliper inches, all of which require onsite replacement. The landscape plan proposes 24-caliper-inches of new deciduous and broadleaf evergreen trees, resulting in a 38-caliper-inch deficiency which requires a payment of $4,560 into the City’s Forestry Fund. The City’s contracted landscape architect is of the opinion that the proposed trees are suitable for the site and the existing trees to remain are shown to be protected and preserved per City guidelines. Exterior lighting is proposed on the rear of the addition and will not exceed 75 watts. Susan stated that the proposed addition is compatible with the design and materials of the existing home and surrounding homes in the neighborhood and that storm water will be adequately managed on site, and the landscape plan provides for a variety of new trees that are suitable for the area. The height, setbacks, and impervious coverage as proposed are in conformance with the requirements of the R-2 Single Family Dwelling District. Staff is of the opinion that the project meets the criteria for site plan approval and recommends approval with the following conditions:

building permit.
