l MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION April 5, 1990 that in the future there is the possibility that the area might redevelop. Frattalone pointed out that the property had been tax - forfeit and he acquired it and has been paying taxes on it. Frattalone stated that some day the property will be buildable,. Frattalone also stated that he believed his operation had a better appearance than some of the other development in the area. DeLonais pointed out that the City has permitted an auto salvage yard to operate within the City until such time as the present owners go out -of- business. DeLonais asked if the same situation could be applied to the Frattalone recycling operation. The City Planner pointed out that the actual recycling is only done about three weeks per year. The Planner stated that if the City wants to permit this operation to continue, the Ordinance needs to be amended to allow it. Frattalone stated that he will do whatever screening that the City determines necessary, however, he wants to be able to run a business on this property. Frattalone stated that he would also be able to control the dust. Frattalone stated that he would like to develop the property some day, however, the property is not ready at this time. The Planner reviewed his recommendations as listed in his January 24th report for screening as well as setback. Frattalone was concerned about the 40 foot setback recommended by the Planner and requested that this setback be decreased. The Commission also felt that height and screening concerns needed to be addressed. Frattalone stated that he was willing to work with the City on these issues. DeLonais recommended that the issue of bituminous recycling centers be tabled until the May Planning Commission meeting in order to give Mr. Frattalone and the City Planner an opportunity to develop an ordinance amendment allowing such operations while addressing the concerns raised this evening.
