Neighbors press council for parking plan as Dragon Court nonconforming‑use petition continued
Summary
Residents raised traffic and parking concerns about a proposed audio‑video contractor at 56 Dragon Court; councilors requested a formal parking plan and continued the petition to committee and the Oct. 1 public hearing.
Councilors continued a petition from SDA Properties seeking an extension or alteration of a preexisting nonconforming use at 56 Dragon Court and accessory overnight parking for up to five vans.
Attorney Carrie Armstrong told the council the proposed tenant is an audio‑video company with administrative offices and limited overnight vehicle storage; she said the business would not be a retail showroom and would primarily use existing dumpsters and site configurations. Residents from nearby streets urged caution, describing Dragon Court as a long dead‑end road with significant speeding and congestion concerns and asking for a detailed parking plan.
Councilors agreed a parking plan is appropriate before final action. President Dillon and councilors proposed sending the matter to the special permits committee for further review; the public hearing was continued to Oct. 1 to allow the applicant and staff to prepare and present a detailed parking and operations plan.
Next steps: the petition was continued to the special permits committee; the council expects a parking plan and additional details before resuming the hearing.
