Herman Sieverding, spoke about parking in the rear of the building and confusion as to what is the front of the building when it is being approached. Wolf stated side yard parking would probably also be allowed but in some locations double facades might be necessary. Andy Sciarabba spoke on the importance of the entrance to the building. Parking on the side would allow the entrance to be visible from the street. The concept concerns him if the side facing the street is never utilized as an entrance.
Costs are a factor for smaller buildings if two entranceways are needed.
Ned Hickey noted it would be consistent with the Village s goal to make the Village more accommodating for walkers if buildings are closer to the roadway, but he can understand the concern of the developer if two entranceways would then be necessary. Sieverding recommended small setbacks and rotating the building 90 degrees so the entranceway would be accessible by a sidewalk from the roadway with the entrance being on that side and limited parking also available on that side. Wolf stated that flexibility is necessary for this plan to work. Sciarabba stated his concern with the building placed next to it also sharing the driveway and having parking along the side, again there would be a great expanse of asphalt and cars and he wonders what is the goal that the Village is trying to accomplish. Wolf stated the cars would not be hidden but there would be more building mass at the street edge which is better than large expanses of parking at the street edge.
