(See Jeanne <br />Mabusth's April 8, 1991 memo.) Mabusth asked Mr. O’Sullivan if <br />he would explain why additional storage could not be provided on <br />top or below the existing building. <br />O'Sullivan responded, "From an engineering standpoint, <br />placing a storage area under the building would not be a viable <br />alternative. The items may freeze if stored on top of the <br />building, and I would think that placing a storage area on top <br />would create an eye-sore. We are planning to locate the storage <br />area behind the car wash where it will virtually be invisible <br />from Shadywood Road. We had discussed an alternate plan with the <br />Building Department involving construction of a raised platform <br />within the car wash bay. We determined, however, that it would <br />be more cost effective to add onto the exterior of tn^ building, <br />rather than the interior. There may also be a problem with <br />moisture if the computerized equipment is stored within the car <br />wash bay." <br />There were no comments from the public on this matter, and <br />Kelley closed the Public Hearing at 7:15 p.m. <br />Kelley asked Mabusth if the City had received any comments <br />^^from the Freshwater Biological Institute.m <br />Mabusth replied, "No, the City has heard nothing from them." <br />Johnson noted that it will be necessary to remove trees to <br />construct the addition asked Mr. O'Sullivan to explain his plans <br />for screening. <br />O'Sullivan explained, "At the most, we will be removing one <br />tree. I like trees, but the one in question is a Cottonwood that <br />plugs our air conditioning and heating systems, two or three <br />- 8 -
