<br />Attached is a copy of the Ordinancies adopted by the Council in july o
<br />1,989 (Ordinance lip lists the criteria to be utilized 1
<br />considering a Special Use Permit for display of merchandise outsid
<br />Seven criteria are li,sted including: I
<br />1) The amount, of outside sales area compared to, the amount of
<br />i We sales arew,

<br />7) The type of merchandise to be displayed.
<br />Beica,use all thiis, merchandise is inside a fence, many of the problems
<br />normally i,nh�eren�t in outside display are not present hielre. Obviously, in
<br />0
<br />th is case it would bell hel,pf'u�l 'if Me�m�biers of the Planning Commission
<br />and Council were to view the sitei to a,siciertiain the conditions as they
<br />areli.
<br />On the east, side of
<br />the fenced -iii area, there are a,
<br />series
<br />of signs that
<br />orient to the interior of the fenced area,, but the
<br />backs
<br />of which are
<br />clearly visible from
<br />the LaBielle's p'ar' i,ng lot. These
<br />would
<br />be far more
<br />attractive if they were kept below the height, of
<br />the fence.
<br />Though
<br />this would require
<br />the piling of the merchandise
<br />to a
<br />lower height
<br />inside the fe*.nce, it
<br />w,ould be far moire attractive from the
<br />easterly side
<br />of the site. ,
<br />The applicants have submitted a large scale copy of the original
<br />landslicaping plaini, which appears to, have been followed in some cases,
<br />but some of' the l,anidsciaping ma,teri,a,l originally planted is no longer ir.

<br />that are badly 'in need of trimming,
<br />The rieduced copy of this landscape plan was not furnished. IfI
<br />--ilowev,er, the la,ndscapi,ng as originally prolpoisield wer,e to be replantet
<br />where necessary, Lhe site w,ou�l,d 'be considerably moire, attractive.
