The site is located in the southeast quadrant of the Rice Street -County Road C inter- section. Exhibit "A" shows the existing land use and daily traffic flow at the inter- section; also shown conceptually are the channelization (and signal) changes to be made during 1979 to Rice Street. ISSUES 1 . The Speedy Market presently provides (as approved) less than the required number of parking spaces. Considering the store to have 2,600 square feet of net retail space, thirty (30) spaces would be required at 1 per 85 square feet of retail floor area. Twenty-six (26) spaces currently exist. 2. The installation of gasoline service would be considered as introducing an additional use; as proposed this would cause a decrease by ten (10) in the number of available parking spaces. 3. The proposed location of the pumps would create substantial circulation conflicts due to the juxtaposition of the street corner and driveway off of County Road C. It is the intention of the owner that four (4) vehicles may be served at the pumps at one time. Due to the location, there is inadequate space to allow the vehicles to enter the pump area to be served and to safely exit. Exhibits "B" and "C" show the various, attemptable, turning patterns that possibly could occur with the pumps at this location (standard passenger wheel tracks, 28 foot outside radius). Due to the positioning of the pump island and the potential difficulty in entering the service area it would be likely that the "normal" parking of the vehicle to the right of the pump would not be used consistently. Motorist turning off County Road C from the west would find it extremely difficult, at best, to make the Clerk's exhibit no. 5 1 Meeting-3-8-78-
