Page 2 5. We suggest that under the conditions proposed where parking is being expanded, that the City requirements for asphalting of parking areas and curbing such parking areas would be applied. This should particularly be applied to the new parking facilities to be constructed in front of the smaller building on the west and south side. The applicant's site plan indicates that this facility is to be constructed with "no curb". It would also seem appropriate to install new concrete curbing where the existing frontage road is to be removed. This frontage road is not a public street but simply a length of roadway between the driveways which is not necessary for this operation. 6. Inasmuch as Special Use Permits are being applied for, it would appear that it would also be appropriate to require that the parking areas in the front of the structure should be adjusted to conform with the Ordinance. The Ordinance states that parking in front of a building (between the building and the public right-of-way) should be set back 40 feet. In other areas, the setback can be 20 feet. In this case, this would mean an extension of the grass areas on the north side of County Road C to be extended 20 feet northward to the left of the westerly driveway and to the right of the eaterly driveway. A landscape plan should also be prepared for these green areas (converted from blacktop) indicating the proposed size, species, and number of plant materials to be provided. 7. There is some question, in our opinion, as to whether or not the remaining portion of the building and the loading dock area to the east of'the building will be adequate for motor freight terminal purposes. This, of course, depends entirely upon the nature and scale of the motor freight operation under consideration. The Planning Commission and Council may wish to consider the option of withholding a Special Use Permit for motor freight terminal facilities until such time as there is a more definitive description of the proposed operation. In the event that the bus terminal operation consumes more of the property than planned, there may not be adequate space for the reasonable operation of,a motor freight terminal facility. If positive consideration is given to this proposal, we suggest that the Planning Commission and Council may consider the following conditions. That all improvements outlined in the application are accomplished in accordance with the statments and site plan submitted. That new concrete curb and gutter be installed in accordance with Ordinance requirements where parking areas are expanded aTfd ` 82 ed areas, That parking areas be set back from the public right--of-way in accordance with current Ordinance requirements (20 feet
