-3- proposed for this development. He indicated that possible tenants in the proposed neighborhood center would include sporting goods, hardware, carpeting, paint- wallpaper, music, gift shop and other specialty shops. He emphasized that this was not a typical rectangular strip neighborhood center. That design had been con- sidered important creating a more aesthetically pleasing concept. Discussion Mr. Jack Rice of the Dayton Development Company indicated that Daytons would not permit Titus, Inc. to have an access from the frontage road. In response to a question Mr. Kilstofte agreed to construction of 30 ft. wide entrance drives. Mrs. Demos inquired if Titus had a lease agreement with Mr. Steak Restaurant located to the west of the proposed development for parking purposes. Mr. Jack Rice indicated in the negative. Ron Larson, representing Mr. Steak Restaurant, stated that with the buildings located as they are on the site, that the Mr. Steak Restaurant loses its visibility from Fairview Avenue. He indicated that in the future he might desire consideration on the part of the Planning Commission for raising his sign so that it can be seen from Fairview Avenue. Mr. Pope cOIIUllented that the Dayton formula of 7 parking spaces per I, 000 sq. ft. of floor area seems a reasonable approach to the parking situation and that he would question permitting less parking than required by that formula for this proposed development. Mrs. Demos expressed concern regarding the fact that some of the areas of the Center would be very difficult to reach for fire trucks because of too tight of turning angles. Mr. G. Johnson felt there was a safety valve involved; i.e.,if there is not enough parking available potential patrons would go elsewhere. He stated that since the developer felt the parking waf sUfficient, he was inclined to vote in favor of the application. Mr. Membrez also was concerned about the lack of parking space; however, he too felt that if the developer considered it to be sufficent that he would favor the application. Recommendation Mr. Membrez moved and Mr. G. Johnson seconded, that the Commission recommend approval of Titus, Inc. request for special use permit and variance to parking requirement at 2351 North Fairview Avenue, with the following conditions: 1. That all entrance drives be 30 feet in width 2. That the entrance off Frontage Road be deleted 3. That all refuse storage be inside the building Roll Call, Ayes: G. Johnson, Mernbrez, and Demos. Nays: Pope.
