Christine Bryan, applicant and owner, stated that there are four parking spaces. She added that to the north of the property, there is a divided area with a six foot high fence where the cars would park. In the future, she would like to put a garage in that location.

CITIZEN INPUT Harvey Schmidt, 2824 W. Prospect Road, asked that if this property is sold, can it be a group home without another review and had concerns that something such as a halfway house could be brought in. He commented that the applicants have been very helpful with the neighborhood's concerns and in being part of the area. Ward Luthi, 718 W. Mountain Avenue, commented that there is if this project is kept to only eight people, then there is no need for signage. . CITIZEN INPUT CLOSED Deputy City Attorney Eckman stated that the code specifies that part of the job of the Board is to establish the kind of group home that is permitted and the maximum number of people allowed in the group home. If the group home is sold to someone else, it would have to be used for this purpose with the same number of people allowed. Otherwise, it would have to come before the Board for review. Mr. Ludwig stated that signage is allowed by City Code and must be in compliance with the amount as administered by the zoning department. The applicant has indicated that they will have a very small sign on the property. Deputy City Attorney Eckman stated that the group home special review regulations do not allow for any consideration of the question of type of size of signage. Basically, the sign will have to comply with the city sign code. He added that increasing the number of residents that could occupy the group home, this project has already reached the maximum no matter how many additional square feet could be added.
