As a result of this action the item was removed from the agenda and his request was with- drawn, Planning F.ile 577-70 - Continental Oil Company request for special use permit for commercial car wash at 1721 North Lexington Avenue. /l1r. Dale Hudson, representing the Continental Oil Company, presented the same plans and drawings that were presented at the last meeting. At this time Mr. Goldberg explained the curb cuts and discussed the report from the Traffic Committee. A question arose as to whether or not the divider down Lexington Avenue that is planned to be put in would inter- fere with the business or in effect cut the business that the car wash would receiveo Mr. Hudson felt that the one way traffic that would come into existence as a result of the divider would be sufficient and that their business primarily would be conducted in the winter months. At this time Mr. John Darling, /ltid\vest Planning, stated that he felt a solid strip down Lexington Avenue as proposed in the plans would not be a hazzard. /llrs. Demos Moved that the Continental Oil Company request be denied. It was seconded by Mr. Edlund. The roll call was: Ayes: Johnson, Demos, Pope, Edlund, Eagles, Membrez. Nays: Kellett. The reasons for the vote are as follows: Mr. Membrez felt that a traffic problem would occur and he questioned \vhether or not it was the proper place for a car wash. Mr. Pope felt that even though the median would be put in, it was still not the proper location for a car wash and it was not a good use of the landc ~fr. Johnson stated he was opposed to it. Hr. Kellett felt there was over concern with the traffic problem and that the traffic consideration should not be the sole consideration in deciding for or against the issue. Mrs. Demos felt there was a lack of sufficient area on the lot itself for parking and backup room. Mr. Eagles had no comment.
