. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 4 April 24, 1991 Jackie Grant, 1072 Pennsylvania, raised concern about people who carry out bar-be-que orders and eat them as they walk down the street, discarding their trash along the way. She stated that she did not want to pick up their trash and was opposed to issuing a conditional use permit. She also stated her belief that the building is so ugly it would be better to tear it down. Mr. Bell stated that he did not see the reason for paving the entire alley. In his judgement paving a driveway to his property was all that was necessary and saw no reason to bear the cost of all of the additional paving. He also stated that it was his understanding after meeting with the staff he should go ahead and make improvements to the property. Mr. Price explained the conditional use process and pointed out some of the typical conditions that are required by the City Council. Mr. Safe urged the Bells not to invest any more money in the building until they receive an approval from the City Council. He stated that he could not vote to approve the application because he did not have enough information regarding the building improvements, site improvements or landscaping. He made it clear that even with additional information he would not necessarily vote for approval. Mr. Marsh moved to table and to continue the public hearing until the next meeting of the Plan Commission in order for the applicant to provide a detailed landscaping plan, detail drawings of the signs, information from the exhaust equipment manufacturer, plans for policing the area and details of the fencing. Mr. Safe stated that he wants to know what the building is going to look like. Mr. Marsh agreed to include this requirement in his motion. Ms. Ratner seconded the motion which then passed by a vote of 5-0. Ms. Ratner then pointed out to the applicant that photographs can be helpful in explaining their application. REOUEST FOR EXTENSION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #276 - AGUDAS ISRAEL OF ST. LOUIS SYNAGOGUE AT 8301-04 DELMAR BOULEVARD Mr. Goldman distributed a letter from Mr. Mayer Klein, President of Agudas Israel, in which he requested the matter be postponed to the May meeting of the Plan Commission since he was confined to bed with a back injury. After a brief discussion, Mr. Safe moved that the matter be tabled to the next meeting and that a letter be sent to Mr. Mayer requesting that he or a representative of Agudas Israel be present at the May meeting of the Plan Commission with adequate plans for screening the rooftop mechanical equipment in a manner that will not damage the roofing. The motion was seconded by Mr. Marsh and was approved by a vote of 5-0.
