The Hanover Planning Board recently granted the College conditional approval of its plans to relocate the Dragon Senior Society to a site in the wooded area behind Delta Delta Delta sorority.
The approval is contingent on the Hanover Zoning Board waiving the parking regulations required for all Hanover buildings.
College Director of Facilities Planning Gordie DeWitt said Hanover buildings are required to have a certain number of parking spaces depending on the building size.
DeWitt said he discussed the parking issue with the zoning board on May 22, but said the board will not make any decisions until its meeting tomorrow night.
"We don't anticipate a problem, but you never know," DeWitt said. "If they don't grant us approval, we'll just have to put more parking on site. But that is something we don't want to do, because we don't want to cut down any more trees."
DeWitt said Dragon members do not need parking spaces on the physical plant because it has been provided by the College on campus.
He said the site already has two parking spaces, one for a delivery vehicle and one for a barrier-free space, but the town ordinarily requires additional parking spaces for a building of similar square footage.
DeWitt said the College plans to complete Dragon's move by the end of the summer.
Dragon spokesman Spencer Morgan '60 told the Valley News, "It's like the army. We're proceeding with all deliberate due speed."
