PlanningBoard | 2008-02-11 | 11 | Board member Ezzy Ashcraft believed there were some exciting prospects of improving the stretch of Park Street from Lincoln Avenue to the Park Street Bridge, making it a more welcoming, attractive entrance to the City. She would have liked to have seen this item come before the Planning Board, and would like the City to pay special attention to that section of Park Street. In response to an inquiry by Board member Ezzy Ashcraft regarding the City's choices, Mr. Thomas replied that the use permit for the auto use could be denied, which would not allow them to expand, and that the expansion would be completely inside the building. Landscaping along the perimeter would be added, and the sidewalk would be rebuilt around that half of the block, closing up curb cuts to add on-street parking. In response to an inquiry by President Cook whether they were currently out of compliance with their use permit, Mr. Thomas replied that they were not out of compliance. They were out of compliance with the sign program, and a condition was added in that regard. Vice President Kohlstrand requested that any future changes or expansions of the auto- oriented uses be brought before the Planning Board. b.
