Porter Mixed Use Conversion at 308 Glenmont Rd
Summary
Andrew Porter wants to turn a single-family building into commercial space downstairs with an apartment upstairs, but the project hit snags over parking he built without approval, a revocable letter from Glenmont Abbey instead of a permanent easement, driveway and sign placement over the sewer easement, and missing stormwater analysis. The board tabled it so the applicant can respond to engineering comments.

The applicant says he's already spent thousands of dollars on work done before approval; a stormwater design and possible parking changes will add more.
The applicant hopes to open a business with a second-floor apartment; the neighborhood could gain a small commercial option.
