However, the applicant has requested that the City pursue an additional access for this site. The City Engineer is pursuing this and the County is willing. In fact, the P & Z recommends that the existing shared access be closed to this site and a new one created as a condition of approval. This will eliminate any concerns over truck traffic conflicting with clinic traffic. Structures: Building elevations were submitted from a previous project by Mr. Fogarty. The new buildings will be the same: rock -faced concrete block with aluminum frame windows. No screening of trash areas is shown, but this will be required. Lighting: No lighting plans were submitted. The City's CEPTED officer wants to see lighting plans. Other staff needs to ensure that lighting will not be excessive or cause glare on roadways. In addition, we are going to begin working to ensure that lighting does not shine up into the night sky. This is a recommendation from the Environmental Board and staff agrees it is a good idea. Comments From Neighboring Properties We have had extensive discussions with staff of the clinic on the north (North Suburban Family Physicians, P.A.) and a representative of Health Partners. They have expressed concern about an industrial use next door and sharing the driveway with industrial traffic. Their primary concern is being on the edge of a commercial district instead of being surrounded by commercial uses. They believe their business will suffer because of less commercial traffic going by and because the image of their location will be less desirable for patients. They also are concerned that heavy screening between their site and the project site will reduce the visibility of their business from the freeway. The clinic representatives also have voiced worries over health issues that might arise due to the proximity to a site with the potential for manufacturing uses.
