Planning & Zoning Board July 11, 2001 Page 24 Chair Schaps stated he was not overly concerned about a new bank being included as part of this development with an existing bank nearby. He felt that competition is a good thing and he felt the competition will allow for cleaner and safer businesses. He felt the benefit of the two new retail giants in the community was a far more important consideration than the designation of a bank and convenience store. Chair Schaps expressed his appreciation to the Ryan Companies and noted there was still work for them to comply with the 18 conditions recommended by staff. He agreed that 40 -foot tall signs along the freeway would be too high and he hoped the developer could convince the businesses to reduce the height of their signs. Chair Schaps asked if one or two motions were required for these applications. Mr. Smyser stated two motions should be made, one to approve the rezoning of the property to PDO and another to approve the site and building plans and the preliminary plat. Mr. Lyden agreed that competition can be a good thing, but he felt fair competition is better. He asked that the City Council take this into consideration when making a decision regarding financial assistance for this project. Mr. Zych made a MOTION to approve the application submitted by Ryan Companies US, Inc., to rezone the property located on Lake Drive to PDO, and was supported by Ms. Lane. Motion carried 5 -0.
