Mr. Stegner questioned the . leakage . Mr. Marder stated that he

an issue of many properties that were former gas stations. Mr.
Reynolds stated that there are a number of monitoring wells on the
site now. He did not know the results of the monitoring.
Mr. Dyal questioned the delay of landscaping. Mr. Reynolds stated
that within the next year it would be ripped out, but if it is the
Commission's desire, they would install the landscaping now.
Mr. Reynolds stated that there will not be any repairs. The lift
is needed to examine the cars.
Michael R. Sulpizio, 321 Kingsberry avenue, stated that the State
of Florida and Star Oil Enterprises are responsible for the
cleanup. He has no financial responsibility at all. If
landscaping is installed now, it will be installed in contaminated
soil.
Mr. McClanahan suggested that box type planters be used ,to do
minimum landscaping so that contaminated soil does not have to be
disturbed.
Mr. McClanahan moved on approval subject to the conditions of Staff
less the requirements for the landscaping and the removal of the
lift. Seconded by Mr. Robert. Mr. Valerino in opposition. All
others in favor. Motion carried.
