the Commission might have. Chairperson Piland asked why there was no
parking along the curb on Oak Street. Larry Blanchard stated parking is

asked for an administrative variance for the parking requirements from 12 to 10
off-street parking spots.. He supported this request by stating that the parking
needs of veterinary clients are not comparable to clinics serving human
patients, because the clients as a whole are dropping off and picking up the
animals and do not require long term parking. Dr. Starnes also described the
proposed facility, including the retail area for pet food, etc., and the indoor
kennels.
Chairperson Piland asked if the applicant was aware of improvements to the
alley. Dr. Starnes replied that the paving improvements had been done by

conditions outlined by staff. Dr. Starnes stated that he understood the
conditions and they were agreeable to him.
