Parking lots with six (6) or more spaces shall be screened from abutting uses and from the street. Screening from residential uses shall consist of a fence or wall six (6) feet in height in combination with plant material and of sufficient opacity to block at least seventy-five (75) percent of light from vehicle headlights. Screening from the street and all nonresidential uses shall consist of a wall, fence, planter, earthen berm, plant material or a combination of such elements, each of which shall have a minimum height of thirty (30) inches. Such screening shall extend a minimum of seventy (70) percent of the length of the street frontage of the parking lot and also seventy (70) percent of the length of any boundary of the parking lot that abuts any nonresidential use. Openings in the required screening shall be permitted for such features as access ways or drainage ways. Where screening from the street is required, plans submitted for review shall include a graphic depiction of the parking lot screening as seen from the street. Plant material used for the required screening shall achieve required opacity in its winter seasonal condition within three (3) years of construction of the vehicular use area to be screened. Modification Requests Standards applied: (1) the plan as submitted will promote the general purpose of the standard for which the modification is requested equally well or better than would a plan which complies with the standard for which a modification is requested. The approved plans dated 12/14/2012 for Bucking Horse Filing Two (refer to sheet LS402) note that the parking lot will be shared with the future neighborhood park. See insert of plan below: This parking was originally located and placed adjacent to the property line so that it could be a shared facility with the park users. The parking lot has been constructed per those approved plans. The parking lot will work well as a shared facility with the proposed Sunshine House and future park. Peak operational hours for the child care are typically M-F 8-6 and peak times for the park would be evenings and weekends. The parking lot provides screening on both the east and west of the parking lot sides with trees, shrubs and grasses. The future park will also be rich in plantings and could further buffer if needed while also greatly benefiting from the shared use of the parking lot. The use of the parking facility is a greater benefit to the community at large than not having the lot available for use.
