Weinhaus stated that since the December meeting of the City Plan Commission, the applicant has acquired 50-feet to the east, which is intended for ingress and egress if necessary, In addition, he said~ there is also an alley-way ~ich could be utilized. Mr. Weinhaus reviewed the reasons given by the City Plan Commission for denying the application. Councilman Baris said he is wondering about the effectiveness of statements of present intentions which may be subject to future change. Mr. Weinhaus stated that he believes Mr. Singer, who is present, would be in a better position to answer Councilman Baris' question, and would do so later~ Mr. C. C. Singer, 8227 Olive Boulevard, asked to be recognized, which requesi: was granted. Mr. Singer stated that he represents the Rulo Investment Cor_~p~ny, the o%mer of King Kar Wash. Mr. Singer said that the underlying reason for buying the additional 50-feet of property was to protect their very sub~ stantia! investment in the car wash. There is another factor involved, he which has not been mentioned here, and that is if the plans of the State High-~ way Department stand as they are today there will more than likely be a medfan strip along Olive Boulevard -- this strip would be broken at Grant Drive and inasmuch as Grant Drive is a public street there would be access coming across from Grant Drive to the north= also a left turn could be made into Grant Drive coming from the east~ He said they would have no problem with that strip if the car were proceeding east. In reply to question by Councilman Soule whether the applicant would provide that there would be an exit or an entrance either on the 50-feet or on Grant Drive, Mr. Singer answered affirmatively. Councilman Lahrmann asked l~r. Singer whether there was not some question about not dispensing gasoline on weekends when t~e traffic was heavy, and Mr. Singer replied that this is correct. In reply to a question by Councilman Tandler, l~ro Singer stated that they have guaranteed their tenants to the rear ~of lots 8, 9, 10, 32, 33 and 34) the right to come in to the rear just to the west of Sokolik's Market -- to the east of the building owned by the applicant at that point. Mayor Kaufman said the Chair is going to suggest that the Council have a fur- ther expression of opinion from the City Plan Co~nission. He said the City Plan Commission disapproved the applicaticn on a vote of 7 to 0, and he would like to have their view after taking into consideration the evidence presented this evening. The Mayor said that the members of the City Plan mission can listen to the tape recording of this portion of the Council pro~, ceedings if they wish to do so. Councilman Tandler, the Council representatzve on the City Plan Commission~ stated that Mr. Singer and a representative of the Lion Oil Company, appeared before the City Plan Commission last Wednesday night, and although it was not termed as an official appearance it was never~. theless a presentation of the revised plan that is now before the Council° ~ayor Kaufman said he would like to have an official co~.%unication from the City Plan Commission setting forth their reasons for their position.
