When the Board of Zoning Appeals considered Mr. Met/calfe’s application, Mr. McCarfchja explained the planners’ concerns, but the BZA members had different concerns of their own. They pointed out that the Village Commercial zoning was supposed to accommodate both housing and commercial uses and asked if the addition of apartments would interfere with existing commercidfus5ST\
Mr. Metcalfe said that commercial uses could continue. “They will help me get people in there,” Metcalfe said. He will eventually be leasing the entire building.
The BZA members were also concerned that the plans show the location of loading docks for the commercial users. They also pointed out that the plans show enough parking for six apartment units and 6,000 to 12,000 square feet of commercial space, but if Mr. Metcalfe later decides he wants to add another six apartments by putting a floor in the left side of the building, he-wilbneed to submit a new site plan showing more parking spaces.
The BZA postponed acting on th^ special-use permit until its Jan. 24 meeting so the members can review highway department plans for the driveway and Health Department plans for the septic system, and so Mr. Metcalfe can submit plans that show loading docks.
At the Dec. 27 meeting, the BZA did ask to hear from the two people in the audience. Everett Cortright said that he and his wife own the property across U.S. 522 from the packing shed. “We came to see what was proposed," he said. “We talked with Mr. Metcalfe, and we heartily support it.”
