. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 2 May 23, 1990 Chairperson Kreishman asked the Planning Director, Al Goldman, to review the Planning staff report on the application. Mr. Goldman reiterated that the proposed carry-out restaurant was being reviewed as a conditional use in the "GC" - General Commercial District. Mr. Goldman did not foresee any problems with the Subway proposal at Westover. He explained that the parking was adequate and that the recommended conditions for operation of the restaurant were standard ones regarding signs, location of trash facilities and litter control. Mr. Adeyemi explained to Commission members that Westover Center has contracted with a private trash collector to collect the trash on the site and that certainly a restaurant would need its own receptacle. Mr. Goldman agreed and stated that the plans submitted with Mr. Adeyemi's application showed approximately 200 hundred feet between the rear door of the restaurant and the trash area. A more west location or an additional trash area on the western portion of the site may be necessary to meet the restaurant's needs. Mr. Ron Schwartz, Mr. Adeyemi's contractor, explained the developer's plans for the site regarding trash pick up and agreed that additional plans for trash facilities may have to be addressed. Chairperson Kreishman asked if Commission members had any questions for the applicant. Mr. Kendall asked where the restaurant's employees would park. Mr. Adeyemi stated that he would suggest that his employees park in the spaces provided at the rear of the Center. Mr. Marsh asked if the same franchisee operated the Subway Shop in the Loop, and if Planning Staff had ever received any complaints of its trash facilities or litter control. Mr. Goldman replied that Subway operated through a different franchisee in the Loop and that Planning Staff had never received any complaints about their operation. Mr. Marsh asked Mr. Adeyemi if his hours of operation would be different on week days than on weekends. Mr. Adeyemi replied that he realistically believed he would close by 1 - 1:30 a.m. on weekdays. Ms. Kreishman asked if the owner of the Center had established any standard operating hours for its tenants. Mr. Adeyemi replied that the owner had not done this. Mr. Marsh asked if Planning staff had any idea what would be the maximum absorption of restaurants for this shopping center. Mr. Goldman and Sarah Elwood, Zoning Administrator, had no real answer and did not know the total number of restaurant-related uses which proposed going into Westover. The proposed Subway Shop and the next applicant on the agenda, Pizza Hut, were the only restaurants proposed to date. Chairperson Kreishman asked if any members of the public had questions or comments on the application and declared the public hearing open. As no one was present to speak, the Chairperson
