Planning Commissioners discussed traffic <br />circulation, height of the building, and landscaping of the site. One resident spoke <br />questioning the singular access to Ramsey Street. Please see attached minutes for <br />more information. <br /> <br />Fire Access Changes <br />Since the Planning Commission Meeting, the Fire Department has reviewed the plans <br />and will require the parking lots south of the condominium building to be connected to <br />provide secondary access to the east side of the building. The access road must be at <br />least 20 feet wide, with a 25 foot turning radius. This will result in the loss of at least <br />two parking spaces. <br />
