MINUTES Planning Commission Oct. 10, 1985 Sinclair (Cont.) The Planner stated that screening of the waste recepticles is not that big an issue. The Planner suggested that the parking areas be defined by curbing along the end spaces. Mr. Johnson felt that this would be a problem for the gas transport trucks. Mr. DeLonais suggested that more parking spaces be designated and then the curbs would he in different locations. The Planner indicated that this would be acceptable. The Planner indicated that the loading areas should be designated and indicated that loading should not occur on top of parking spaces. Johnson reported that this will only be done for gas and then only during off - hours. Mr. Johnson requested a variance for the five feet of green area along the freeway fence. Mr. Costa asked where snow would be dumped. Mr. Johnson indicated on the plan where it would be dumped and stated that if there is too much snow, it would be hauled away. Kingsbury stated that she was agreeable to the variance along the freeway fence, but felt that the Lanscaping should be required on the other property lines. Mr. Davison stated that he felt that the 35 foot curb cut was beneficial especially if the pavement is marked. Mr. Herkenhoff asked about signage. Mr. Johnson replied that the signage would remain as is. Mr. Grittman pointed out that there are two free- standing signs on the property and under the ordinance, they are only allowed one. The City could require this to be brought into conformance. Mr. DeLonais pointed out that there is not a back entrance /exit to the building and felt that the Code may require this for fire safety reasons. Mr. Davison recommended approval of the Sinclair site plan with the requirement of five feet of green area and landscaping around the property lines with a variance for the east property line along the freeway fence, and the requirement that the site plan show the additional parking Locations on the eastern boundary and that the plan show loading areas and further stating that the 35 foot curb cut should be allowed to remain. Motion seconded by Mr. Herkenhoff. Motion carried 6 - 0. Mr. Biesener commended the Planning Commission on their handling of the Sinclair proposal given the variety of reports they were given.
