Mr. Beninati suggested Mr. Markson list all of the variances required on amended paperwork. This application will be carried over until the January, 2004 meeting.

Application # 281, Z. K. Associates, RE: an office/warehouse at 718 Jefferson Avenue.� Mr. Fred Gruen, Attorney for Z.K. Associates stated Z. K. Associates wants to divide the existing building (at 718 Jefferson Avenue) by moving some walls, making no change in the footprints.� Sworn in:� Mr. Peter Zimmerman, president of Air Systems, Inc. said his company is 40 years old.� They had a small office and warehouse on Market Street.� As they grew, they bought an 8,000 square foot building at Monroe & 9^th streets and storage area at Monroe & 10^th streets� They install heating and ventilation systems for commercial buildings.

� They acquired a sheet metal company and developed a HVAC service company.� The 16,000 square foot building at 718 Jefferson Avenue would house a portion (two-thirds) of the office space and a portion (about half) of the warehouse space for storage of heating and air-condition materials.� They need parking for six employees with no storage of trucks.� The two trucks would drop off materials.� Handicapped parking should be provided for.� A variance for the number of parking spaces is necessary.� It is also necessary to have a variance for parking spaces in front of the building.�

Sworn in: Edward Dec, civil engineer and planner, stated a number of variances are pre-existing (the 11" rear set-back, a left side-setback, and building coverage is exceeded by 3%, and there is 100% impervious coverage).� The height of the building (21') is not a variance issue.� Forty parking stalls (11 per 5,000 square feet) are required, with a handicapped stall.� Mr. Lane said a total of six variances are required:� impervious coverage, building coverage, side yard, and rear yard, and two parking variances.� Four of these six are pre-existing conditions.� The application must be amended to include more than one variance.�

Sworn in:� Mr. Robert Olsen, 75 Michigan Avenue.� He is concerned with the variance on parking if there is more office traffic (1 space per 250 sq. ft.).� There is no on-street parking on Jefferson Street.�

Mr. Lane was told there would be seventeen parking spaces allotted for the approximate 2,000 square foot office space.

� A motion for approval was made by Mr. Vitale, 2^nd by Mr. Canderella.� All in favor.� Re-application to the Planning Board will be necessary in the future when the un-occupied portion of the building is used by a tenant.� Mr. Beninati asked for the revised drawings and a new application stating the proper number of variances that are required before issuing the resolution.

A motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Vitale, 2^nd by Mr. Schultz.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Janet M. Murphy,
