The Applicant, Heather Scott, and her daughter Jordan, were in attendance. Leigh Ann Mastronardi, a local yoga practitioner, was also in attendance.
Comments from the Applicant:
Jordan Scott presented the Powerpoint presentation entitled "Estate of Health Holistic Day Spa and Yoga Studio" and described the proposal in terms of services to be offered (holistic treatments, yoga classes, seminars and workshops, retreats, and gift shop). Ms. Leigh Ann Mastronardi stated that she is seeing a very large need in the community for this type of centre; that the size of her existing location cannot accommodate the number of students requesting classes.
Comments from the audience:
Solicitor Brian Chillman spoke in support of the Zoning By-law Amendment Application, having known the Scott family for many years.
Craig Farqueson, 116 Mill St. West stated that he likes the passive use, but is concerned about the increase in traffic flow and parking on the street.
Donna Carter, 91 Laurel St. stated that she thinks the idea is wonderful, but also expressed concerns regarding traffic and overflow parking on the street.
Lindsey Ecker, 55 Golfview, stated that she is in strong support of the application and indicated that having recently hosted a local Holistic Health and Wellness Expo event she is aware that numerous people in a very wide age range are continuing to express interest in this type of preventative health care.
Sarah Ann Shields, 97 Erie St. stated that she is new to Town, is a local wellness practitioner and is in support of the application. She stated that the proposal would create a cultural experience for residents and visitors, with a focus on wellness.
Mr. John Kolbrich, 74 Laurel, stated he and his wife's only concern is the amount of traffic going right by the door of their home, stating that originally there was 100 feet between the driveway and the next residence, and now the driveway would be only 10 feet from their bedroom. He asked if the parking could be relocated to the Mill St. side.
