TO 7:25 P.M. <br />Mr. George Jones was present on behalf of Mr. Gramentz. <br />Gaffron provided a summary of the major issues involved in <br />this application (see Michael Gaffron's memo dated July 1, 1990). <br />Johnson said, "I went to the site and looked at the <br />footprint of the structure. It lends itself well to having a <br />second story above the garage." <br />Hanson said, "It does not appear that this will have any <br />impact on the neighbors." <br />Bellows and Rowlette concurred with Hanson. <br />Mr. Jones said, "This proposal will enhance^ the property. <br />The single sto-y garage was awkward in appearance." <br />There were no comments from the public regarding this <br />application and the Public Hearing was closed. <br />It was moved by Hanson, seconded by r.oos, to recommend <br />approval of application #1554, a side se.-.back variance to <br />construct a second story over an e.^isting garage. Motion. <br />Ayes-5, Mays-0. Motion carried. <br />#1555 LANDSTAR, INC. <br />2501 OLD BEACH ROAD <br />PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION <br />CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING 7:27 TO 7:34 P.M. <br />Bellows stated that the Army Corp of Engineers has requested <br />additional time to review this application. She said, "In light <br />of this, the Planning Commission will take comments from anyone <br />present this evening. We have learned that inaccurate <br />information v/as distributed to area neighbors regarding this <br />subdivision." <br />Mr. Drew Gesell, 2755 Kelly Avenue, said, "I attended the <br />previous meeting when this was discussed. I expressed concerns <br />at that time about the impact this development will have on the <br />wetlands. Those concerns still exist. It is difficult to imagine <br />houses in portions of this property. Years ago, that lake was <br />much larger than it is now. It is hard to say what will happen <br />in the future if the property is developed." <br />Mr. James MacKinnon, Attorney foe Landstar. Inc., asked <br />Mabusth if she could provide him v/ith the information she had <br />learned just prior to this meeting. <br />- 7 -
