Planning Commission Min ~s Page 4 Berry suggested Fire Marshal approval of emergency access be included as a condition to the approval. Dressler indicated she felt the access drive should be moved to the middle of the parcel. Miller indicated he felt the drive would have mmlmum impact, especially with the proposed fence and landscaping. He also felt the difference in height between the proposed buildings and the neighboring houses was similar to a one-story house being built beside a two-story house. Recommendation DeBenedet moved and Berry seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of C.R. Hakworthy's request for rezoning from R-l to R-2, preliminary plat, and variance to sideyard setback at 171 Center Street, with the following conditions: 1. That joint driveway easements be recorded. 2. That the emergency access be approved by the Fire Marshal. 3. That the project be developed according to plans dated 9/25/84. Roll Call, Ayes: Moeller, Matson, Berry, DeBenedet, Johnson and Wiski. Nays: Dressler. Planning File 1543 - Belair Builders request for amendment to the Comprehensive plan, rezoning, vacation of right-of-way, and variance at 1912 Lexington. Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated the applicant proposes to develop a 21,000 square foot supermarket on the site. The proposal requires an amendment to the Comprehensive plan to allow general business uses on the site. The proposal also requires a rezoning from R-1 to B-2,cand from B-1 to B-2 to allow the supermarket use on the entire site. The applicant is also requesting that the City vacate roadway easements at the rear of the site. ~ir. Dahlgren indicated that some provisions for easements to bring a street up from the south to allow the development of the rear of the lots fronting on Oxford had been made in the past. ~iro Lynch, architect for Belair Builders indicated the R-l parcel is landlocked. He also indicated the roadway easements are not uniform, some being 20 feet wide, some being 30 feet wide. Mr. Kath, the owner of the property, explained that he has had several offers for several types of uses for the property. He feels the supermarket use is most compatible with the neighborhood. Moeller asked whether rooftop HVAC equipment would be screened. Mr. Lynch indicated it would be screened. DeBenedet asked whether the exterior material would be brick. Mr. Lynch indicated they had planned to use textured block on all four sides of the building, but that they could use brick. Wi ski asked whether the trash area could be roofed. Mr. Lynch indicated that was possible to do. The neighbors expressed five major concerns. 1) The supermarket would greatly increase traffic on Roselawn. 2) A rezoning of the entire corner to general business would allow other uses besides the supermarket in the future.
