Page 4 and whether the safety of pedestrians no matter what age had been sufficiently considered, the remainder of the Board agreed to the following which they intended to serve as a "Motion of Opinion" to the Council: Motion by Mr. Marks, seconded by Mr. Johnson to indicate to the Council that the Planning Board desires to go on record as feeling the re- development of the property on the southeast corner of Stinson Blvd. and 33rd Avenue N.E. with a new Speedy Market is desirable without the dispensing of gas, with their opposition to the gas pumps based on the following concerns: 1. Whether the screening of the residences adjacent to the project will be adequate to deal with the increased noise and intense lighting which would be inherent to such a gas dispensing operation. 2. Whether there should be further traffic generation at a normally congested intersection. 3. Whether the change in traffic patterns might prove hazardous to the small children who frequent the store. 4. Whether there is a possibility that the project might ultimately result in the establishment of a full service gas station. 5. Whether the parking will be adequate to serve the dual purpose of the proposal. 6. Whether there will be adequate stacking spaces provided for customer seeking to use both the bas and market services. 7. Whether the combustible nature of the project will meet fire and safety standards. Voting on the motion: Aye: Letourneau, Marks, Bowerman, Johnson, Rymarchick Nay: None Abstention: Cowan and Hiebel Motion carried. Severalmembers of the Board felt they needed further direction from the Council as to what action is expected of them in dealing with similar cases should they arise before the new zoning ordinance is adopted. The Board noted the letter from American Monarch which verified the company's purpose of purchasing the land west of their present plant for expansion purposes only. Motion by Mr. Marks, seconded by Mr. Hiebel to adjourn the meeting at 9:30 P.M. for further consideration of the new zoning ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. Helen Crowe, Secy.
