. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 2 November 12, 1986 Mr. Fanchi replied that ATEC planned to landscape a three to five foot-wide strip located outside the fence on the eastern side of the property. There are currently five trees planted there, and ATEC would add fifteen smaller trees which, over time, would grow to provide an effective screen. He stated that purchasing and installing mature trees would be too expensive. Mr. McCauley asked if ATEC had any plans to buffer the nursing home to the south from the parking area. Mr. Lerman replied that there were many trees in the adjoining vacant lot and that the lot itself reduced the effectiveness of any buffer. Chairman Hamilton and Mr. McCauley also asked about the possibility of repairing the perimeter fence as it was missing many slats and was generally unsightly. Mr. Fanchi replied that if the Commission and Council required such repair, ATEC would comply. Mr. Goldman asked Mr. Lerman what efforts had been made to stop the tractor-trailers and other vehicles from parking overnight on the northern portion of the property. Mr. Lerman replied that he had notified several drivers of trucks who parked there overnight not to do so again. He would continue his efforts to prevent this overnight parking but stated that it would be difficult to prevent parking of cars on the lot in the evening for various neighborhood activities. He would, however, post some type of "No Parking" or "No Trespassing" sign. Chairman Hamilton and Mr. Goldman stated that the applicant had proposed several good ideas to help alleviate the potential screening and security problems on the property. However, Commission members had expected to review a detailed land- scape plan, an item regularly required during review of a conditional use permit application. While other issues such as security and parking by parties not affiliated with ATEC could be resolved in writing, a drawing detailing proposed planting, fencing and parking areas is necessary to dictate conditions of the permit. Mr. Rice suggested that the applicant meet with planning staff before the next Plan Commission meeting to work out effective landscaping details such as spacing and specie. Chairman Hamilton noted that the next regularly scheduled Plan Commission meeting would be on January 28, 1987. Mr. Fanchi and Mr. Lerman stated that they would present a complete proposal for the conditional use permit in January to better work out the landscaping and security details. Plan Commission members agreed to review ATEC's final proposal in January, 1987. PROPOSAL TO REZONE CERTAIN PROPERTIES LOCATED ON NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD, WARDER AVENUE AND DONNE AVENUE FROM "SR" TO "PD" Mr. Thomas S. Sommers of 512 Warder Avenue presented his proposal to rezone ten single-family properties along North and South Road, Warder Avenue and Donne Avenue to "PD"-Planned Development District for the purpose of developing a condominium project at the south city limits. Mr. Sommers stated that John Cohen & Associates, Inc. had completed preliminary schematics and site plans for the condominium project consisting of four buildings, each with 12 units averaging 1400 square feet each. The first level of each building would contain enclosed parking for 20 cars. The project would also include provision for outdoor guest parking, both an east and west access via a private street, a southern access via Donne Avenue and a pool/recreation area. Mr. Sommers stated that he had
