. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 2 December 8, 1988 to Dubbles, Inc. for the restaurant's operation. Mr. Barton explained that he and Mr. Schwartzkopf had received a copy of the December 2, 1988, Planning Director's report on the application. He presented Commission members with a revised site plan dated December 6, 1988, which included many of the Planning Director's recommendations for site development. The refuse pad and box were now shown on the plan at the Midland side of the building, placed well outside of the floodway and convenient for servicing. A crosswalk and sidewalk had been added to the plan to accommodate pedestrian access to the building. Dubbles did not plan to provide an outdoor picnic area and, therefore, did not indicate how one would be accessible to the walkway system or how it would be enclosed. More details regarding landscaping and curb locations had been provided on the amended plan. Mr. Barton indicated that he would be happy to discuss any issues regarding signage with the Commission. A signed statement had accompanied the application to the effect that if the business is closed for a period of 30 days, all signs shall be removed from the premises, and if the business is closed for a period of 120 days, the building and trash facilities shall be removed from the site. Finally, Mr. Schwartzkopf indicated that the location of the service windows on the building had been moved closer to Midland Boulevard to facilitate stacking of cars on site and to eliminate the refuse box on the Olive Boulevard side of the building. Chairman McCauley asked the applicant to respond to questions from Commission members. The Chairman asked if the State and County jurisdictions had approved the curb cuts on both Olive and Midland. Mr. Barton replied that these approvals had been given in full consideration of the vehicle stacking potential and traffic circulation. Ms. Kreishman confirmed that the location of the driveway off Midland Boulevard was located at a point further south than it had been in a previous submittal. Mr. Safe asked if the refuse box would be screened from public view. Mr. Barton replied that the box would be screened by a site-proof fence. Chairman McCauley noted the evidence of compliance with the floodplain regulations and the immediately pressing need to remove the in-ground fuel tanks. Chairman McCauley declared the public hearing open; however, as no interested parties were present to speak, the hearing was closed. After further discussion, Ms. Kreishman moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the application for Conditional Use Permit #270 subject to the following conditions: 1. The plan shall include a continuous walk along the north side of the northernmost drive from Midland Boulevard to Olive Boulevard. 2. If an outdoor eating or picnicking area is provided, it shall be directly accessible from the walkway system and enclosed by a low wall or a low hedge. 3. If the business is closed for a period of 30 days, all signs shall be removed from the premises, and if the bUilding is closed for a period of 120 days, the building and trash facilities shall be removed from the site.
