The comments relating to the proposal were then discussed <br />with the Applicant, Staff, Engineer, and Consultants to include the internal traffic issues. <br />Changes were made in the proposal to answer the concerns brought up by the Commission <br />and others. <br />Mabusth continued that the application is for three variances. One variance is for a 30' <br />setback for the car wash. The neighbors in the Lafayette Ridge area support the proposal <br />in view of the wetland separation from their residences. The car wash location was <br />considered to reduce the effect of noise and lighting. Another setback variance is required <br />for parking area adjacent to residential lot line requiring a 10' setback. The parking is set <br />to be at 3' for a T variance. The third variance is for structural coverage excess over the <br />allowed 15% proposed at 20.2 %. A fourth variance has been added for signage area. <br />With the footage of the front lot line, 100 s.f of signage is allowed. The applicant is <br />asking for 308 s.f of signage for a 208 s.f. variance. <br />4 <br />
