APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT--6702 VERNON AVENUE Chairman Hamilton asked Mr. Ben Berger to explain his request for a conditional use permit in order to use the property at 6702 Vernon Avenue for outdoor storage and parking of motor vehicles. Mr. Berger stated that the property in question, the site of a burned factory, extends from Vernon Avenue south to the stone retaining wall where the school district's buses are kept. Only a portion of this property is paved for a parking lot, and it is this paved area for which he makes appliction for a parking lot. He requests approval for the lot as an interim use until the property is sold because various people in the neighborhood have asked if they could park there or lease space to park there. He stated that his intention to use this area as a parking lot is basically a service for the neighborhood; the money he receives for leasing parking space on the site helps pay for the maintenance of and taxes on the property.
