+

At the Planning Board meeting held on May 10, 2011, the Planning Board voted to request the City Council defer making a decision on the Special Permit application of Amerco Real Estate Company, Inc. regarding the property at 31 Olympia Ave. until the Planning Board has had enough time to make a reasoned and needed evaluation of this proposal. This request is made based on concerns identified by the Fire Chief and Planning Director specifically dealing with the proposed utilization of the building; the fire access to the building; and the incompleteness of the traffic report. In addition, the lack of complete information has also made it impossible to review the remainder of the proposal in its entirety.

If members of the City Council have any questions or concerns regarding the foregoing recommendation, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely, s/Edmund P. Tarallo, Planning Director
