Site Plan Review – Patricia Collins, 84 Harry L. Drive

The applicant, Patricia Collins, was present.

Ms. Collins received 3 area variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals; one to reduce the minimum required lot size, one to reduce the minimum required lot frontage and one to reduce the minimum required driveway width.

Chairman Klish asked if the plan was still for the patients to pull behind the building and that the area would be covered with gravel. Ms. Collins stated that the area would be hard topped.

Chairman Klish asked what Ms. Collins’s intent was for the garage. Ms. Collins stated that at first she would use the garage for storage as she is purchasing the contents of the house as well as the building itself. When she no longer needs the storage space, she will use the garage to park her personal car.

Mr. Putman asked for clarification as to how much of the house Ms. Collins intends to use for her business. Ms. Collins explained that the dining room will be her main treatment room, the living room will be a reception

area, the kitchen will be an office and the back porch will be converted into a handicapped bathroom. One of the second floor rooms will be used for air brushed tanning. Ms. Collins is on the Board of Directors for the American Massage Therapy Association and they bring continuing education instructors to the area. One of the bedrooms will be used as a guest room for visitors.

Mr. Putman asked about the tanning services. Ms. Collins stated that it is air brushed which means she must apply it by hand. It’s not like someone sitting in a tanning booth.

She will not have any employees.

Mrs. Drimak asked about the hours of business. The hours are usually 8:30am – 6:30pm, Monday – Saturday. She does not usually work on Sundays.
