. Minutes - Plan Commission Page 3 September 28, 1988 . Chairman McCauley called for members of the public to present any questions or concerns regarding the application. Mr. Bernard Stock, a business owner at 7281 Olive Boulevard, encouraged the use of this property by an appropriate commercial use since the current building was extremely deteriorated and the current owner repeatedly permitted tractor-trailer parking on the site. Mr. Kendall confirmed with planning staff that the proposed use was appropriate for the site at Olive and Midland and agreed that a more detailed plan should be submitted to the Plan Commission before its recommendation on the application so that members could ensure that all conditions for appropriate site development could be met. Mr. Marsh agreed that the current plan for site development should either be rejected or Commission recommendation of it should be deferred until it is amended. Mr. Ken Reading, 1217 Waldron Avenue, expressed his concerns regarding potential litter from the business in the neighboring area as well as excessive lighting from the business disturbing the residential neighborhoods to the north and south during the late evening hours. Mr. Barton replied that one employee per shift was usually assigned site clean-up duties, and only on Fridays and Saturdays would the business be open past 11 p.m. Mr. Reading also inquired as to whether traffic generated by the business would congest streets in the area. Chairman McCauley replied that the Planning Department had suggested that a traffic study be conducted to assess the traffic impact of and best access points to the site. After extensive discussion regarding proposed signage and availability of the additional information needed for a fully-informed Plan Commission recommendation, Mr. Marsh moved that the Commission table the application until its October meeting in order to give the applicant the opportunity to provide the information necessary for a proper evaluation of the project. The applicant was thereby instructed to submit the following information to the Zoning Administrator no later than October 17, 1988: 1. A survey of the site prepared by a registered land surveyor. 2. A correctly drawn and dimensioned site plan. 3. A report of an accredited traffic engineer regarding a vehicular circulation and access to the site. 4. A report of a registered professional engineer regarding compliance with the floodplain ordinance. 5. Topographic information on the site plan showing the limits of the floodway and proposed new grades. 6. Drawings of all signs that will appear on the site or on the building. 7. A signed statement from the applicant agreeing that if the business is closed for a period of 30 days, all signs will be removed from the premises and if the business is closed for a period of 120 days, the building and trash enclosure will be removed from the site.
