Development plan Review - Case #01-27DP - Harbor Plaza Development.
Dan Barron was present to represent Harbor Plaza Development. He explained that this is for the completion of the overall project that was started several years ago. He stated it is a mixed used project with commercial and residential uses.
Campbell asked if there is a set of plans with an architect signature on them. He explained that as a Planning Commission, we need to be concerned with the safety and welfare issue of the project.
Campbell stated he felt the project is good for the City of Charlevoix.
Barron explained that the Building Department has approved the plans, and that is their job to do. He stated the architect for the project is Art Ranger.
Planner Harsh explained the way the parking was reviewed. He stated that there are six spaces, with dimensions of 20' by 9', with some maneuvering room for the cars to get in and out. He explained that the reason these spaces were approved is because spaces 1, 2, and 4 or assigned to one unit, and spaces 3, 5, and 6 are assigned to another. In that way, staff feels that the residents can move their vehicles around to get the others out, but if they were for different units, there would be a problem getting their cars out of the spaces. He feels this justifies allowing the project to use the parking in this manner. He wanted this to be in the minutes, as an explanation of staff's reasons for approving the parking.
