Ms. Adzima stated the Community Development Division of the Community Services
Department recommends the Board of Adjustment (BOA) review the requested Variance
(VAR O l -07) to increase the maximum allowable impervious surface ratio to provide
twelve additional parking spaces.
There was no one present representing the property owner.
Ms. Adzima stated the current impervious ratio is 81%. The variance is to add 4% which
would bring the property 10% above the allowed impervious surface ratio.
Member Heintz inquired about the need. of additional handicap parking.
Ms. Adzima replied that she believes they are in compliance of the one handicap per 25 .
spaces. If more handicap spaces are necessary they will be added.
Vice Chair McLarnon questioned the accuracy of the site plan with regards to the parking
lay out as well as the impervious surface ratio.
Mr. Sizemore stated the City of Longwood's concern was the sites ability to support the
additional coverage. The city engineer feels that the increase of impervious surface would
not have any negative impact to the site since the original project included Island Lake
and Chambrel. Access has been an ongoing problem for the Fire Department. 'The Fire.
Marshall is in full support of the additional parking.
Vice Chair McLarnori voiced concerns that it seems the site is currently covered between
90 and 95%. He also inquired about the possibility of adding gravel to the three proposed
existing grassy areas.
Mr. Sizemore informed the Board that the current Development Code only allows gravel
parking in the historic district. The Boa~:d could consider that as a condition.
The Board suggested the applicant look into other potential solutions to the parking
problem.
Vice Chair Mclarnon made a motian to deny VAR 01-07. Member Meintz seconded the
motion. The motion was unanimously aj7proved by roll call vote with Member Doulong

not open to combining.
