CONDITIONAL USE CASE #28-84 50 West Belleview Avenue Mr. McBrayer stated that the Planning Commission has received a staff report pertaining to the proposed Conditional Use at 50 West Belleview Avenue; he asked if the Commission had any questions pertaining to the staff report, or of the staff. No questions were posed by the Commission. Mr. McBrayer asked if the staff had anything else to add. Mrs. Romans stated that the staff had no further information to add. Mr. McBrayer asked the applicant to step forward and make his presentation. Mr. Dan Rickli 4301 South Broadway -was sworn in, and testified that he is the architect for the franchise development company. Mr. McBrayer asked if Mr. Rickli was familiar with the staff report, and if he had anything to add at this point. -2- Mr. Rickli stated that he did receive a copy of the staff report, and stated that the 10 foot "easement" required for Belleview Avenue along the north property line of the subject site would cause no problem "if it is in the landscaped area"; there would be no effect on the circula- tion pattern proposed on the site. Mrs. Romans pointed out that the 10 feet is requested as a "dedication" of right-of-way, and not an "easement". Mr. Rickli discussed the present use of the site, and stated that the existing structure would be razed; a small retaining wall on the west property line would probably be retained, and the building erected next to the retaining wall. The site will be resurfaced, and landscaping will be planted. There will be no access from this site to the K-Mart site; the only access to the site will be from east-bound Belleview Avenue. Ingress and egress will both be on a right-turn only basis. Mr. Rickli stated that the landscaping they propose will consist of grass and four trees, with pfitzers along the side of the building. Mr. Rickli stated that "Grease Monkey" is a quick lube operation; the building will have two bays, and two men would work on each car. The average time for an oil change and lube job is 10 minutes. Mr. Barbre asked if the applicants agreed to the requirements posed by the various City Departments as set forth in the staff report. Mr. Rickli stated that they have reviewed the requirements, and have dealt with most of the requirements, such as grease traps, drainage, etc. Mr. Rickli further discussed the proposed development, noting that there will be an enclosed trash area, and the bui]ding itself will be of masonry construction with cedar trim, and a pitched shingle roof. The building will contain two service bays, an office area, and rest- rooms. Mr. McBrayer thanked Mr. Rickli for his presentation, and asked if any- one else in the audience wished to address the Commission. Mr. Richard McQueen 5624 South Huron Street -was sworn in, and testified that he is owner of the property. He stated that he did receive a copy of the staff report, and asked for clarification regarding the 10 foot dedication that is required. Mrs. Romans stated that there are two properties adjacent to West Belleview Avenue from which an additional 10 feet of right-of-way is needed; Mr. McQueen owns one of the properties --50 West Belleview Avenue. The Director of Public Works, Kells Waggoner, and the Director of Engineering Services, Gary Diede, both have asked that this right-of-way be dedicated to the City before any further development occurs on this property. """ • J Mr. McQueen stated that he understood that at such time as property was needed for a State Highway, the State would condemn the property; he ~ asked why this was not done. Mrs. Romans stated that she could not say why the State did not follow this procedure; however, now, the City is requesting the dedication before further development occurs on this site. t . - -3- It was brought to the attention of the Commission that this matter is a Public Hearing.
