REQUEST FOR SUBDIVISION - RECORD PLAT OF U-HAUL CENTER, 7290 OLIVE BOULEVARD Chairman McCauley called on the representative from U-Haul to present the request for subdivision of the U-Haul property at 7270 Olive Boulevard. Mr. Bob Kensler, the manager of U-Haul in University City, explained that the subdivision request was a result of the need expressed by the owners of Dubbles Restaurant, at 7290 Olive Boulevard, to purchase a portion of the U-Haul property fronting on Midland Boulevard for better access and parking area on the restaurant site. Mr. Kensler continued by saying that U-Haul had agreed to sell Dubbles what is depicted on the proposed record plat as Lot 1, totaling .368 acres, in exchange for the Dubbles owner promising to block access to the U-Haul property directly from Midland Boulevard. In this way, U-Haul would benefit from the subdivision in effectively prohibiting cut-through traffic on its property which usually attempts to avoid the traffic light at the intersection of Olive and Midland Boulevards. Chairman McCauley called for the staff report on the subdivision request. Al Goldman, Director of Planning, stated that Dubbles' purchase of Lot 1 would bring the restaurant development into compliance with the requirement by the St. Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic that access to the restaurant site from Midland be located further away than it is currently located from the Olive and Midland intersection. Also. the County was requiring increased vehicle stacking capacity on the site.
