Body
BACKGROUND:
A Special Use was granted in 2014 for assisted living (elderly housing) within the existing building (former school). In March of 2016, the special use was amended to obtain a waiver from the front yard setback to add additional parking, to obtain a waiver from the retaining wall requirements to increase the height beyond the allowed 3 feet, to extend the time to establish the Special Use, as it expired in March of 2016, and to allow a deck addition on the back of the property and a stairway addition on the south side of the building.
The petitioner is now requesting to amend the existing Special Use for assisted living to demolish the existing building and build a new, 18,125 square foot, 1-story building, per the attached site plans and elevations.
