There are also parking concerns for the same building since his plan is to have a couple of apartments as well as the coffee shop. The planning board believes the best way to make room for parking would be to tear down the “carriage house” building that is attached to the back. Parking space requirements are 10 x 20 minimum.
A motion was made by Jason Tuning, seconded by Sharon Wiater to have Tim Bearup do a “Stop work order”.
