Vice Chairperson Solodar opened the public hearing and asked for testimony from the public. David Kennel, 1332 Purdue, stated that he is opposed to the application because there are already too many fast food restaurants in the area. The use will generate trash in his neighborhood from walking children who get carry-out food. Mr. Kennel drew a diagram on the blackboard depicting a potential traffic problem between Waldron and Midland of westbound Olive vehicles passing into the eastbound Olive lanes for approximately 25 feet in order to get into the east drive-through entrance. No other members of the public indicated a desire to speak, so the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed. Ms. Ratner agreed that there was a potential traffic hazard at that entrance. She stated that although possible trash from neighbor kids may be a problem she did not feel the threat of that was serious enough to forbid a legitimate business from opening. Mr. DuBro stated that he would be vigorous in his clean up efforts in the area. Mr. Kennel suggested that the restaurant be limited to dine-in business only. Mr. Solodar asked why the restaurant was not torn down as required in the previous conditional use permit. Mr. Goldman stated that the owner of the property had several deals being put together for restaurants to go into that location, of which this is the third. m-l0-25.plc
