Mr. Goldman was able to recommend approval of the application subject to conditions regarding the issues he highlighted. Chairperson Kreishman asked if Commission members had any questions for the applicant or his representative. Mr. Safe asked if any drawing was available depicting the property lines for 8406 Olive. Planning staff provided him with a site plan accurately showing the property lines.
