-6- Commission members a site drawing .of the proposal including 9 • parking stalls . He already has.. an established business in the St. Anthony area with. 300 customers and most .of his..employees coming from the community. Though he will lease the property from .Mr. Hedlund, he has an option to. .buy. and "would certainly not leave his present location if. I wasn't .certain of staying" . The Health Depart- ment had. already inspected the buiiding .and .said. there is sufficient- water and. sewer service to .support . a beauty. salon but had told him ' of other improvements. he must make including sheetrocking the walls, installation..of, an energy .efficient: water heater. as well as sterili- zation and sanitation of. the building. Mr. Morris .intends to change the exteriorfacade of the building to either stucco. or rough cedar and will comply with any requirements for landscaping, desiring "to make .the property more attractive for both his customers and the community" . He plans to remove the existing garage on the property which is 'hn eyesore" which should leave more room for parking. Mr. Berg told the Commission there were several points regarding the P.U.D. which must .be clarified for this proposal. He mentioned he had been unable to get - a firm response from Mr. Ames as to whether he plans to proceed with his townhouse project to the north of the existing residence which leaves open the possibility that the property might revert to a commercial usage. The question of whether the requirement for the Letter of Credit applies in part or wholly to the development of this site had received differing 'intrepreta- tions from staff and it is not clear .whether the parking requirements for the commercial component of the P.U.D. apply .equally to the lot • in question. The Commission- members estimated at. least 12 parking spaces should be required to serve both the potential -customers and the employees of the shop. Kenneth Lee was present and said he proposes to .build a house directly east of the Hedlund site and .he. and Mr. Morris have reached an agreement concerning the screening between the. properties . Mr. Morris indicated he was also willing .to comply with other City requirements regarding the parking, landscaping and signage for the building as well as' lighting of the property at .night.. He showed a rough drawing of the sign he would .like to erect. The .question of whether this sign might constitute a .major portion..of the signage permitted the entire. commercial component of the P.U.D. was another point requiring clarification. The Chairman assured Mr. Morris that he "wants. him .to stay in the City" and suggested when he returns with a. formal application, he should include the stipulation that the garage will be removed as well as the addressing of the fighting he proposes as well as the parking he will provide, with 12 stalls suggested. For his. presentation. he advised him to have the site. plans for the proposal indicating the landscaping specifics as well as those for signage. He told him the signage at the Goodyear. Tire company across Silver Lake Road is an example of the type of signage which has been acceptable to the City in the past. • Mr. Morris thanked the Commission for -.the helpful suggestions they had given him and said he intends to improve the property so it will be a credit to the community.
