Good evening.

Conditions permit 25 5 general office in Old Town Residential.

Property owner is Mr.

John K.

Skelton.

Property is located at 207 West Roanoke Street.

It's approximately 0.294 acres in size.

The building itself is currently vacant.

The zoning is Old Town Residential, and the proposed use is for general office use.

This is depiction here of 207 West Roanoke Street.

It's a through lot located between West Roanoke Street and Wall Street.

It is a one and one half story building with basement.

Prior, there was a 1980 special use permit restricted to use solely by Virginia Polytechnical Institute State University for administrative indoor faculty offices.

And the future land use is medium density residential.

The criteria for evaluation of conditions permit the proposals submitted or modified shall conform to the conference of plan of the town or to specific elements of the plan and to official town policies adopted in relation there too, including the purposes of the zoning ordinance.

This is an aerial view of the property looking at from Roanoke Street.

This is a kind of a blow up of the insert of the site development plan, the large insert from 1980 site development plan currently has this missing landscaping along the front in the rear property lines, and there's a bicycle rack that should be replaced.

In addition, one of the parking spaces needs to be converted to an ADA handicap space.

Um the the conditions permit will need to reinstall the 1980 site development plan missing items, which are the missing landscaping along the front and rear property lines, and a bicycle rack for five bicycles.

The property owner has asked for the bicycle rack actually to be uh relocated to the back behind the property rather than the the front of the property that was shown on the site development plan.

Uh staff does have recommended conditions.

There are five recommended conditions.
