TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1993 <br />CounCil conducted a public hearing on a request from Richard M. Martin <br />for a Special Use Permit under Section VIII of the Zoning Ordinance in <br />order to permit a retail florist to operate at the property located at <br />806 Starling Avenue. The only person to speak was Richard Martin, who <br />asked for approval of the request. There being no other comment, Vice- <br />Mayor Adams declared the public hearing closed. Upon motion, duly <br />seconded and by unanimous vote, Council granted the Special Use Permit <br />with the following conditions: <br /> <br /> (1) The owner shall comply with all Zoning Ordinance regulations <br /> applicable to the P-2 Professional District. The owner shall also <br /> comply with all other City codes and ordinances relating to <br /> building development and construction within the City. <br /> <br /> (2) A minimum of 7 (1 space for each 100 square feet of floor area <br /> not used exclusively for storage) off-street parking spaces shall <br /> be provided as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Any expansions <br /> or revisions to the interior floor plan which results in <br /> additional non-storage floor area shall require additional off- <br /> street parking as required in the Zoning Ordinance. <br /> <br /> (3) The property at 806 Starling Avenue shall be developed as <br /> shown on the site plan submitted to the Planning Commission by <br /> Richard M. Martin. <br /> <br />Council considered approval of a supplemental appropriation in the <br />amount of $58,000 (and transfer from the Electric Capital Reserve Fund <br />to the Electric Fund in the same amount) to fund the City's <br />participation in the Blue Ridge Power Agency's alternate power supply <br />plan project and long-term APCo wholesale rate projection study. Duane <br />Dahlquist, President of BRPA, was present to respond to questions from <br />Council. In response to a question by Councilman Williams, Mr. <br />Dahlquist stated that the potential savings to the City for <br />participating in the project was $1-1.2 million over a 10-year period. <br />In response to a question by Councilman Oakes, Mr. Dahlquist stated <br />that, unless the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rules favorably <br />on the "Coincident Peak Billing" issue, the gas-powered peaking plant <br />plan would not be pursued. Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous <br /> <br /> <br />
