. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 4 May 22, 1991 at the corner and directly to the east of the building, 4) landscaping to the north and south of the west half of the parking lot, 5) landscaping in the area west of the building and directly east of the sidewalk along Pennsylvania, 6) landscaping in the area to the northeast and south of the east half of the area stripped for parking. Chairperson Kreishman asked Mr. Goldman to review the staff report. Mr. Goldman stated that Mr. and Mrs. Bell have submitted an amended site plan drawing which shows fairly ambitious landscaping and appropriate arrangement of parking on the site. He also stated that they have submitted information regarding signs, refuse facilities and exhaust equipment as well as a copy of a letter from the St. Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic indicating that they would allow the upgrading of the alley entrance to the site but no other entrances from Pennsylvania. Mr. Marsh asked about the phasing of the development to which Mr. Goldman replied that it is not unusual to delay planting until either the fall or spring as appropriate to the particular plant material being installed. He stated that extending the planting into five phases as indicated by Mr. Bell was not acceptable to the staff. Ms. Kreishman asked about the window area that exposed the back of interior paneling. Mr. Bell said that he planned to install one inch plywood on the exterior painted to match the walls. Mr. Safe then asked about the fascia covering to which Mr. Bell replied that the bad wood would be replaced before painting, but all they planned to do was to paint and not cover with other materials. Ms. Kreishman asked about plans for paving the alley to which Mr. Bell replied that they wanted to discourage all use of the alley and the driveway entrance from Pennsylvania. Ms. Kreishman then asked if the applicants had considered installing a landscaping screen along their north property line to block access from the alley and to better screen their operation from the residential property to the north. Mr. Bell's reply was that he had no problem with paving a small part of the alley to be used for access, but does object to paving the entire alley. Mr. Foxworth stated that he agrees with the applicant that paving the entire alley would not be of direct benefit to him. Mr. Marsh then asked the staff what the City would do if the applicant failed to install the landscaping in accordance with an agreed upon schedule of phasing. Mr. Goldman replied that the city would then be forced to issue a court citation for failure to carry out the conditions of the conditional use permit. Mr. Marsh asked if the city can revoke the permit if the applicant does not insta1llandscaping in accordance with the approved conditions. Mr. Goldman replied revocation can take place if a provision for revocation is included in the conditions of approval.
