. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 4 April 22, 1987 met with the Public Works Department regarding this issue. Public Works personnel had taken pictures of the streets surrounding the development to document their condition; the developer has agreed to repair any damage to the streets during and after construction. Mr. Daniel Talonn of 8661 Barby Lane asked if the developer had complied with the other conditions of their permit. Mr. Goldman replied that the working drawings which were submitted with an application for a building permit were being reviewed to make sure that they were in substantial conformance with the Use Permit issued to the developer. Mr. Leonard stated that residents of the area were welcome to visit the construction office to review the scale model of the Retirement Center. The construction office is currently located at 8636 Barby Lane. Mr. Rice moved that the Plan Commission approve the record plat for One McKnight Place Retirement Development in accordance with the proposed plat submitted to the Commission and dated April 15, 1987. Mr. Kendall seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 4-0. APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 7701 OLIVE BOULEVARD, CARRY-OUT RESTAURANT USE Chairman Hamilton stated that the Plan Commission had received an application for a Conditional Use Permit by Mr. Kerry McDaniel in order to use the property at 7701 Olive Boulevard for a carry-out type ice cream parlor. Mr. McDaniel stated that his contract to purchase the property was contingent upon the Plan Commission and City Council approval of the carry-out use. He stated that barring approval of the ice cream parlor use, he would propose to open up a florist shop as a permitted use in the same location. Chairman Hamilton asked Mr. Goldman for his comments on the application. Mr. Goldman stated that the small properties on the north side of Olive Boulevard Just west of North and South Road presented a problem because of their small size and parking allotment. It was within the City's interest not to encourage so-called "litter generators;" the Comprehensive Plan called for consolidation of these properties into larger parcels. He stated that the property in question had previously been a gas station and was later used as office space. The current state of the building would require a lot of work to bring it up to code. The pavement would need a lot of work in order to provide the required amount of parking requirements for the proposed use. He was concerned with the proximity of the building to the right of way and potential problems of traffic access. He suggested that the Olive Boulevard frontage not include any parking or vehicular access to the property. Mr. McDaniel said that his backers had expressed their support in bringing the property up to code. Mr. McDaniel stated that he has a concession company of his own and would buy ice cream from either Swensen's or Prairie Farms. Mr. McCauley expressed his concern over the probable "litter generating" use. Mr. McDaniel said that he would provide one employee per shift for clean-up purposes only. Chairman Hamilton suggested that Mr. McDaniel and Mr. Goldman meet to discuss the suggested conditions for the proposed use.
