Owner: Lars J. Eriksson; representative: Mr. Robert E. McKee. Mr. Simmons stated that the Fire Department thinks there needs to be a continuous fire lane. For the fire lane to be functional it has to impact on part of the existing right -of -way of Bevier Road. There needs to be a right-of-way use permit granted before the Planning and Zoning Commission can approve the site plan or that would be a very strong condition of the approval. The Engineering Technician indicates that he is not satisfied with the drainage calculations. Mr. McKee stated that the existing fire lane that is shown on the plan was approved by the City some time ago, the fire lane is a considerable distance from the building. Mr. McKee stated that he felt it was somewhat of a penalty set upon to penalized this building because of the approval the City did on the fire lane some time ago.

Mr. Simmons said that it is not and there are no particular plans to open it. Mr. Simmons also stated that the Board might be seeing some site plans and development requests in the not to distant future that could call for the extension of Bevier southward from Jewett; however, there is nothing that has any official status at this time. Mr. Dennison asked if Bevier was in a condition that a fire truck could drive over it. Mr. Simmons said no that it would have to be stabilized; there is an existing building there and part of it is an existing fire lane, it just doesn't go all the way around. Chairman Morris asked if the old shed along side of the road would be maintained. Mr. Eriksson stated that his night watchman keeps things in it. Mr. Carli made motion to approve the site plan with the condition of approval of the right -of -way use of Bevier Road by the City Commission, submittal of drainage calculations and stabilization of the fire lane. Mrs. Roberts seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION - September 3, 1987 - 7:00 P.M.
