recommended the shingles be changed to a lighter color with a texture. Mr. Ambrosio stated this

Commissioner Stanley asked if revising the method to calculate the square footage would change
Staffs opinion. Mr. Harrison stated "no", that this was a mixed used project by definition under
today's standards and the applicants would have to meet these requirements.

stated the intent was missing. Mr. Garton said the first regulation on page 14-9 list the parking
spaces as 4 per 1000 for retail, 3 per 1000 for office and 1 per 60 square feet of restaurants. Mr.

this time, it was not applicable. Mr. Garton stated that this project should not be calculated as a
mixed use, that Columbine Bakery was relocating to the Avon Plaza, with 240 square feet for
seating and 2000 square feet for the bakery.

a restaurant Mr. Garton said this was already done when the permit was issued and that under
paragraph "C", of the parking requirements have been met. Mr. Garton stated 4 parking spaces
were available for seating and 4 for the bakery.

with 35 to 40 seats at this time.

then divide by 1000 gives the parking requirement of 8 spaces, multiple 8 by 60 gives 480 square
feet allowed for seating area in the restaurant.
Mike Matzko demonstrated facts and figures on the easel for the applicant and Commission. Mr.
Garton stated 5.5 parking spaces was to small for the size of the restaurant. Mr. Garton said he
would wait until the figures checked out with Staff.
Commissioner Karow agreed with Commissioner Railton that there was a parking problem in
Avon, with the understanding of the calculations for parking spaces verses square footage.
Commissioner Karow stated the project was short 23 spaces with out the addition.
Commissioner Vest stated that without the bakery, 956 square feet of additional office space on
the second floor will only have 73 spaces, and asked the applicant if that was the total required
parking prior to construction of this addition. Mr. Garton said "no", that there were too many
parking spaces prior to this addition.
George Harrison stated the parking figures arrived on Thursday and was calculated by the old
procedure, the applicant was allowed 71 parking spaces, at this time the they have 73, as the
project exists now, without the addition.
Karen Griffith stated that the Slifer Building was calculated under the mixed use formula.
Chairperson Hunn stated the application should be based on the written Parking Ordinance. Mr.
Garton agreed with the Commission but not with Staff's interpretation of the parking
requirements.
