The application was eigned by S[anley � Wetael, acting ae the authorized agent. �' The building official, Larry Callahan, wae informed that this use would ,� �, provide counseling and other medical aervicea. � '� .. � �+ x The City isaued a building permit on May 31, 1983 to George Gullerman, acting o m ae authorized agen[. m � -� c Complaint Letter � ''' On December 5, 1983, Mr. John Millenaar submitted a letter charging the =� folloving: (See Attachment 1) ^' ,o z 1. That the r.euae of the baeement of the Minor-Jones Building by a � _ medical uae does not meet the parking reqvirementa of the zoning .. � � code. "� T O � 2. Mr. Millenaar states that at least 14 spacea are required by the � medical use, and 10 spacea for the profesaional office uae. He m� claims [here ie e deficiency of 9 epacee. o cn or 3. In addition, compliance with the "Barrier Free Design Criteria" T N of State and local codea is questioned. `� � —)r SrBtue of the Mi.nor-Jonea Building � � The building vae covstructed in 1965 with 7779 square feet of floor area on 2 floore, plus a basement. There were 15 on-site parking spacea provided, along = vith 5 apaces on the adjacent parcel. Upon inspection of the eite, I found 15 � z parking epaces on-aite, but could not locate the 5 adjacent parking spaces. � However, conversation with Mr. Thomas Tuohy (occupant of the is[ floor) _ diaclosed that tenante of the building are required by the lease agreemen[ to `^ secure off-aite parking for their employees ae problems of conPestion develop o with the exieting spaces. Additionally I wae informed that the un-aite apaces "� are primarily for cliente and cuetomere. m The parking requiremente for professional office use in 1965 required.l apace per 400 square feet of floor area, which results in 19 spaces. It is the staff's in[erpretation and opinion [hat [he prioritizing of [he exieting 15 on-ei[e epacee for clienta and the lease agreement far securing off-aite employee parking reaults in the existing Minor-Jones Building and current uses ae being in compliance with the zoning code parking requiremente. - The current parking requirements for profeseional office are 3 plus 1 for 400 sq. ft. This would result in 22 apacea required.
