REQUEST: Captain' s Quarters Apartments on 19 CAPl'AINS ~ Chestnut Street. Relief from additional recreation area. HEARING PANEL recommends request be denied. The Panel does not wish to grant relief for the recrea- tional area because requestor did not offer to pay the 5% which would be the alternative, and since there was no offer, and we do not believe they have the landp we do not wish to recommend approval of the request. PLANNING BOARD recommends that this variance is not necessary since Section 23- 7( g) applies only to construction of townhouses and not to apartments. Mr. asked City Attorney what the intent of the Hunt ordinance is pertaining to apartments. It is my understanding that under the ordinance, it does not require a park requirement for apartments. City Attorney replied that this is something Council should speak to and make a determination on. Mr. moved that the developer of Captain' s Quar- Hunt ters be required to pay 5% cash in lieu of the park requirement. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baughman and carried with ~~. Bishop voting NO.
