17 adding a new 15 space parking lot which would be separated from the adjacent multi-family use. Dahlgren pointed out that the purpose of this proposal is to make more room for access to the washing bays at the car wash. Dahlgren indicated that there would be good landscaping and buffering, and that the new dumpster enclosure would be provided. Dahlgren indicated that only issue would be the fact that a narrow twenty-five foot strip of land would be left, which could cause problems if not property maintained. Dahlgren indicated that a rezoning from R-6 to B-1 special use permit, and the division of a platted lot would be required. Brannon indicated that the purpose of the proposal is to improve the maneuvering into the first three bays. Existing parking causes a problem and safety concerns because people have to back up to get into the bays. Brannon indicated that they met with the neighborhood and they expressed concern that potential traffic on neighborhood streets.

Brannon indicated that there would be sufficient buffering and screening by existing grade change, berms and evergreen planting, which they would provide. Brannon indicated they talked to seventeen neighbors, and they expressed no objections or recommendations. Brannon indicated that they also had concerns about the twenty-five foot area and that they would be willing to sod, seed and maintain that area. Berry inquired whether or not Brannon had considered purchasing the property from Mr. Coverdale. Brannon responded that they would be interested in purchasing it, but Coverdale would not sell it to him. Johnson indicated that she was uncomfortable voting for the proposal with the twenty-five foot strip left. Dahlgren indicated that the maintenance of the area is the concern and this issue could be dealt with through a stipulation requiring maintenance.

That the parking area be built in accordance with the plans submitted.
