. . 10-26-94 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 5 will be a building to house three trucks with an office and bathroom facility. There will be outdoor storage of the storage containers but they will be empty except for rare occasions when it will be too late to take the containers to the dump. The waste is from construction sites and will not contain biodegradable waste such as garbage. The Chairperson called on Al Goldman, Director of Planning to provide the staff report. Mr. Goldman stated that the proposed building and the proposed use will not result in high quality development and will do little to project a positive community image. However it complies with the neighborhood development plan, can be made to comply with the provisions of the Zoning Code, and will not injure the value of neighboring property. In fact the removal of the derelict building from the site in order to make way for the proposed development clearly improved the value of neighboring property and promotes the community welfare. Mr. Goldman addressed the issues of screening, landscaping, signs, building design and mechanical equipment and gave his recommendations as stated in his memo submitted for this application. The Chairperson opened the public hearing and asked for testimony from the public. Sam Wilson of American Water Treatment voiced concerns about the waste but said he was satisfied that it was construction waste. Jim McDerby of Weskem Hall, 6300 Bartmer stated that he also was concerned about the waste but said he was satisfied that it was construction waste. No other members of the public indicated a desire to speak, so the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed. Mr. Solodar suggested that a cross-easement be obtained to take care of concerns over the access to properties. Mr. Wilson stated that would be o.k. Mr. Solodar suggested that a condition be added that will prohibit storage of rapidly biodegradable waste. That Plan Commission decided that if the property was to be increased in size by the acquisition of extra land that the applicant would not have to come before the Commission to amend the conditional use permit. The Plan Commission determined that the evidence presented to the Plan Commission supports the conclusion that the proposed conditional use: a) Complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code; b) At the specific location will contribute to and promote the community welfare or convenience; c) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of neighboring property; d) Complies with the overall neighborhood development plan and existing zoning district provisions; and e) Will provide, if applicable, off-street parking and loading areas in accordance with the standards contained in the Zoning Code. Mr. Solodar moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions: m-l0-26.plc
