Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated the applicant proposes to divide the lot through the middle of the proposed parking area to create two lots with one structure on each lot using shared parking. He indicates the variance is needed because the lot line will run through the proposed parking area. The code requires a 5 foot parking setback. Tom Dunwell, the project architect, indicated that sufficient parking will be built for each structure to stand alone before the division takes place. Mr. Drown indicated there are drainage problems on the site, but there are also solutions. Mr. Nielsen has agreed to petition for a storm sewer project for the Rice Street area. Mr. Dahlgren indicated cross easements for parking are essential here.
