. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 3 September 27, 1989 Chairman McCauley confirmed with the residents present that much of their concern centered around traffic problems potentially created by the new shopping center in general. The residents agreed and felt that a clean and neat auto repair facility as a part of the center could be compatible with the surrounding areas. Mr. Goldman responded to the neighbors' concerns for traffic hazards in the area by explaining that as a part of the previous Site Plan Review and Subdivision approvals for Westover Center, the eastern portion of the site had been engineered to locate the service entrance off of Mount Olive such that the grades and site distances would reduce some of the current traffic hazards. He further explained that to accomplish this the Westover Partnership was required to deed a small portion of the site to the City to improve the Groby Road/Mount Olive intersection. After further discussion regarding the location of the service drive and the potential for a "stop" or "yield" sign at the service exit, the Chairman closed the public hearing. Mr. Kendall then moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the application for Conditional Use Permit '277 subject to the following conditions: 1. No freestanding signs shall be permitted for the vehicle repair facility. 2. Overnight parking or storage of motor vehicles shall not be permitted. 3. Exterior colors and materials shall be reviewed and approved by the City Manager. The motion was seconded by Ms. Kreishman with the suggestion that a fourth condition be added, as follows: 4. This conditional use permit shall be valid for Firestone or a similar national auto repair chain only. Any other auto repair or auto-related buyiness shall need to apply for and obtain a separate Conditional Use Permit approved by the Plan Commission and City Council. Mr. Kendall agreed to accept the fourth condition as a part of his motion. Chairman McCauley raised the question as to whether Firestone would automatically be bound to the hours of operation stated in the application. Mr. Safe suggested a fifth condition: s. The hours of operation shall be limited to those detailed in the application for this conditional use permit, dated August 31, 1989, and are as follows: Monday - Friday: Saturday: Sunday: 7:00 a.m. - 8.00 p.m. 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Mr. Kendall and Ms. Kreishman agreed to accept the fifth condition as a part of the motion. The motion to recommend approval of the application with the five conditions passed by a vote of 4-0. Chairman McCauley informed those present that the application would be forwarded to the City Council for its consideration on Monday, October 2, 1989. He directed Ms. Elwood to inform the applicant of the Commission's recommendation and forthcoming City Council meeting.
