Mubeen Mahmood, 7498 Delmar appeared as the applicant and explained that the requirement was no longer necessary because the roof of the store satisfies the look desired and that the roof on the canopy would only serve to make it higher and more massive. Mr. Mahmood presented the Commission with a letter from surrounding residents asking that the requirement be removed. Mr. Smith moved that the Plan Commission endorse the modification to eliminate the pitched roof from the top of the canopy. The motion was seconded by Ms. Arbogast and passed by a vote of 4 to 0 with 1 abstention. Ms. Glassman, Mr. Irons, Mr. Smith and Ms. Arbogast voted “aye” and Mr. Credit abstained. Mr. Credit stated that he abstained because he was not convinced that a smaller roof could not achieve the goals of the citizens who requested it but did not want to vote against the proposal. Moratorium, Adult Oriented Businesses Ms. Glassman stated that the Plan Commission is being asked to review a proposed six (6) month moratorium on adult oriented businesses in order to give staff and legal counsel time to review the matter.
