Approved 4-1 (Heath Younce opposed due to number of waivers) with staff conditions.

NOTE* Staff conditions were modified from earlier written documents which had garnered no resistance from neighbors. The modification was not announced until following the applicant presentation and all TAB discussion of the item. The significant change was the width of the driveway as it connects to Post Road. The applicant and neighbors had agreed to a 24’ drive to discourage significant traffic on and off the residential street while still accommodating safety/fire issues. Staff changed position to require 32 feet. BCC may wish to reconsider this particular change.
