Planning Board reviews Village At High Pine parking amendment, waives public hearing and continues for staff compliance review
Summary
Planning staff reported a site walk finding that existing parking was constrained; the applicant submitted a revised plan adding 55 guest spaces (bringing proposed guest parking to 74). The board deemed the application complete, waived a public hearing and continued the item 30 days for drainage and compliance checks.
Planning staff and applicant representatives reported findings from a site walk and discussed a proposed amendment to the Village At High Pine condominium plan to add guest parking.
Mike (planning staff) told the board that a site walk on Aug. 22 showed limited parking for three‑bedroom units and recommended adding guest spaces. Lou Chamberlain (project representative) said the applicant initially proposed 31 guest spaces and the revised plan submitted the prior Friday adds 24 more, for a total of 55 new guest spaces on top of existing guest spaces. The applicant and staff described a total proposed guest parking of about 74 spaces on the plan.
An applicant speaker cautioned that each parking space costs roughly $2,000 and declined to make additional expensive guarantees if the board insisted on requiring all proposed spaces immediately. Staff advised the board it could require more than the ordinance’s standard two spaces per dwelling if project use justified it, but suggested labeling additional spaces as “possible future spaces” on the plan if the board preferred not to require them at present.
After questions about drainage and grading, the board voted to deem the application complete, waived a public hearing and continued the item for 30 days to allow staff time to review revised plans, confirm how many spaces are required at specified occupancy levels, and verify drainage/retention compliance. The motions passed by unanimous voice vote.
Next steps: staff will review drainage and grading with the revised plan and report back to the board; the applicant may be required to build a number of spaces tied to occupancy if the board so determines.
