Minutes - Plan commissio~ Page 2 November 22, 1989 . The Chairman inquired whether the restaurant's Conditional Use Permit anticipated adequate requirements for landscaping on the extra land it proposed to purchase. Ms. Elwood read the Condition #5 of Dubbles' Use Permit, #270A-2nd Amendment, which states that: If vehicular access to the site can be arranged from the adjoining property to the south, the internal driveways and parking lot layout can be changed to accommodate the new access, and the existing driveway entrance from Midland to the site can be limited to outbound traffic only, provided such changes are first received and approved by the Director of Planning. Mr. Marsh then moved that the Plan Commission approve U-Haul's request for subdivision of its property as submitted on the record plat entitled "U-Haul Center." Mr. Washington seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0. Mr. Rice arrived at 7:38 p.m. REQUEST FOR SUBDIVISION - CONDOMINIUM PLAT FOR "ONE MC KNIGHT PLACE, A CONDOMINIUM." Chairman McCauley called on Charles Deutsch of the One McKnight Place Partnership to present the request for approval of the condominium plat. Mr. Deutsch stated that the proposal to divide the apartment units of the One McKnight Place Retirement Center into condominium units was not intended to accommodate the individual sale of the units, but to qualify the partnership for the County's residential property tax classification. Mr. Marsh stated that he would abstain from any discussion or vote on the subdivision request due to a conflict of interest. The Chairman asked if Mr. Goldman had anything to add to the staff report on the subdivision request. Mr. Goldman stated that the staff report fully explained the issue and coincided with Mr. Deutsch's explanation. Chairman McCauley asked Mr. Deutsch if the easement along the east side of the property were indeed retained by the City of St. Louis. Mr. Deutsch replied that this easement contained a main conduit from the Missouri River to the City of St. Louis. Chairman McCauley asked if certain easements indicated on the plat should continue to Delmar Boulevard. Mr. Deutsch stated that they probably did continue to Delmar; however, the Barby Lane right-of-way was the right-of-way immediately to the north of the One McKnight Place property. Mr. Safe asked if, because of the condominium subdivision, the apartment units could be sold individually. Mr. Goldman stated that certain state statutory requirements might place notification or waiting period requirements on the partnership before selling any unit. Also, because the development was approved by the City as apartments for the elderly, a lower parking ratio was permitted. Mr. Deutsch indicated that the Deed of Trust on the property from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development prohibited any other use of the building than that of elderly apartments. After a brief discussion, Mr. Kendall moved that the Plan Commission approve the request for subdivision entitled "One McKnight Place, A Condominium." Mr. Rice seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0 with 1 abstention.
