<br />B-Dale Amoco, Case No. 2188 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />As previously noted, the sketch that has been submitted is not <br />scaled, so it is impossible to give a specific answer to this <br />question. The areas of outdoor display are limited to the two <br />areas between the pump islands and the section of sidewalk to <br />the left of the entrance door. <br /> <br />b. The location of the outdoor display and the extent to which it <br />encroaches on required setbacks. <br /> <br />The display areas shown on the sketch do not encroach on any <br />required yard areas. <br /> <br />c. The impact on traffic and pedestrian circulation on the site. <br /> <br />The proposed locations would not have any adverse effect on <br />traffic circulation. Because of the 5-foot height of the displays <br />between the pump islands, the Engineering Department has raised <br />a concern for pedestrian safety. This is a question that should <br />be reviewed in greater detail and one which the applicant should <br />respond to. <br /> <br />d. The height of the proposed displays. <br /> <br />If we are reading the sketch correctly, the tire racks between <br />the pump islands would be 5 feet high and the tire rack in front <br />of the building would be limited to 3 feet high. <br /> <br />e. The hours in which the merchandise will be displayed. <br /> <br />No information was provided related to hours of display. <br /> <br />f. The nature of merchandise to be displayed. <br /> <br />The sketch shows only tires and motor oil to be displayed. <br /> <br />3. CONCLUSION <br /> <br />More specific information is needed to evaluate the specific percentage <br />of outdoor display versus interior display. We will notify the applicant <br />about the concern regarding pedestrian safety and the proposed height of <br />displays, and we will visit the site to evaluate this issue. The planning <br />Commission members should try to visit the site and judge this question <br />for yourselves. We will also contact the applicant and request <br />information related to the hours of display. <br />
