Aucuat 28, 1991 PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONDITIONAL USE #300 - OFFICE IN CHURCH SCHOOL BUILDING BASEMENT. 6403 CLEMENS Chairperson Kreishman informed those present that the Plan Commission had scheduled the public hearing on an application from David Mohme for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an office in the All Saints Catholic Church School Building basement at 6403 Clemens. The Chairperson outlined the Commission's procedures and criteria for reviewing conditional use permits and called for testimony from the applicant. . Mr. Roy Brown of Directory Distribution Associates, appeared as representative for applicant David Mohme, and Directory Distribution Associates. Mr. Brown explained that Directory Distribution Associates would be operating an office with a temporary work force of 4 clerks and 1 supervisor. They will interview prospective carriers who will be delivering telephone books. The applicants will fill out paper work at All Saints Church and go elsewhere to pick up the phone books. There will be a delivery force of 50 carriers. The four to five applicants per hour will be in, in order to maintain a steady, moving, controlled flow. The operation will be for 5 or 6 weeks in January and February of each year. The hours of operation will be 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., no nights or evenings. Chairperson Kreishman asked Mr. Goldman to report on the staff review. Mr. Goldman explained that an office requires a conditional use permit in the "P A" - Public Activity District. According to the applicant, the proposed use has been in existence at this location for twenty (20) years, apparently without a use permit, occupancy permit or business license from University City. Directory Distributing Associates is applying for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a 1600 square foot office within the basement of the All Saint's Church-School Building. The flow of applicants should not present a traffic flow problem for the area. According to the applicant's statement, telephone books are not actually stored or physically distributed from this location. This use's 1600 square feet of office space requires five (5) off-street parking spaces; the church lot has fifty-six (56) off-street parking spaces. There is a need for separation screening between the lot and the sidewalk. Mr. Goldman stated that a parking lot with more than six spaces requires wheel bumpers between the lot and a public right-of-way. He stated that the staff recommended approval with conditions on storage and distribution of telephone books, parking lot screening and perimeter wheel bumpers. Mr. Kendall disqualified himself from the voting because he is member of the church. 2
