DATE: September 11, 19 85
TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
SUBJECT: RP 85-13 GETZE - Request for a minor redevelopment permit
to rehabilitate the interior and exterior of residence
on the north east corner of Grand Avenue and Jefferson
Street and change use to office/professional.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Design Review Board ADOPT Resolution
No. 058 APPROVING RP 85-13, based on the findings contained therein
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting a minor redevelopment permit to convert
a residence located on the northeast corner of Grand Avenue and
Jefferson Street into a professional office. Until recently,
the site served as one of the older residences in the redevelopment
area.
The existing 7,000+ square foot parcel contains three (3) structures
a residence, a garage and a storage shed. The applicant proposes
to convert the residential building into office space. This 1,135
square foot structure will be rehabilitated to accommodate the
new use. No additional space will be added to the structure.
The proposed project is located in subarea 6 of the Village
Redevelopment Area. This area is envisioned as maintaining its
existing character of maximizing the office and professional buffer
zone around the subarea. Among the land uses encouraged in the
subarea are law offices, architectural offices, medical offices
without labs and contractor's offices (no storage). As such,
the proposed remodel and use would be consistent with the goals
and compatible with the uses designated for this area.
The three required parking spaces for this proposal will be provided
in a lot to be constructed on the eastern edge of the property.
This lot will be screened from the street by the existing storage
building. Access to the lot will be from the enlarged curb cut
on Grand Avenue which presently serves the garage building. The
garage is not counted as a required space although it could possibly
function as a parking storage area.
III. ARCHITECTURAL/DESIGN
The buildings will be restored to retain their original character.
No new space or architectural changes to the original structures
are proposed.
Existing landscaping will be renovated and enhanced. The exterior
paint scheme will be white with forest green trim..
As proposed, this use and building will be compatible with the
surrounding buildings, with the design concepts of the Village
Design Manual and with the goals of subarea 6 of the Village
Redevelopment Area, therefore, staff recommends approval of RP 85-13
