2-I-19-HZ Approved with Conditions

Removal of existing circle driveway and any remaining walkways in the front yard of the building. Construct 26-car black asphalt-paved parking lot with white pavement markings. Construct concrete sidewalk at base of steps. The front yard will be graded flat and the existing pine tree and crab-apple tree will be removed. There will be a curb-cut to access the parking lot from the side street of Lamar Avenue. The front edge of the parking lot will be setback ~25 feet from the back edge of the public sidewalk. The area between the edge of the sidewalk and the edge of the parking lot will be grass. The doughboy statue and the surrounding 10 stone obelisks are proposed to be left intact, although the rear two of the obelisks are proposed to be moved to align with the exsiting smaller obelisks. Install square-edged concrete curb and gutter at perimeter of the parking lot. Flowering trees such as redbuds are proposed to be interspersed with hardwoods such as maples at intervals of 15-20 feet around the perimeter of the yard along the sidewalk. Shrubs are to line the parking area.
