Planning Commission Minutes March 13, 1996 Ed Pollack, 1064 Roselawn, the adjoining neighbor to the east, stated he was concerned with the car wash noise. Kath stated that he will make certain that doors are closed during the car wash and will run only one car wash at certain times during the day. Phil Fisher, 1899 N. Oxford, stated that he endorsed the project but that the site needs improvement and this project would be a good neighbor. Tim Nelson stated that he had received a letter from Gordy Howe, developer of the 16 townhome units on the north side of Roselawn, across the street from the project, in which Mr. Howe stated that he had no objection and he felt the project would be an asset to the neighborhood. There was no further comment and Vice Chairperson Harms closed the hearing. A general discussion ensued regarding the methods and reasons for amending the City's Comprehensive Plan. Vice Chairperson Harms stated that on the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commission wanted to create a buffer in areas near corner business uses. She stated that it is difficult to change a Comprehensive Plan after such a long period of study. The consensus of the Commission was to continue this issue for one month with the consent ofthe applicant. Tim Nelson stated that the applicant wished to be placed on the next Planning Commission agenda, if possible. MOTION: Member Harms moved, seconded by Member Wilke to continue the public hearing on the Bruce Kath request for a rezoning, conditional use permit, and preliminary and final plat at 1912 Lexington Avenue to construct a gas station/convenience store/car wash, and to expand the hearing to include a Comprehensive Plan Amendment hearing, consistent with the applicant's approval of the continuation for one month.
