The commercial zone has to be buffered from the residential area and if it was not rezoned, that would mean the buffer would be within the property and then they would not be able to utilize the back portion of the property.

The drive has a 45 ft. radious and the trucks will back all the way into the building. There would be a maximum of 2 trucks a week. He feels that the traffic circulation will be adequate for this type of building. There are 8 employees and there will be additional paving and parking in phase 2 for the office area. Mr. Morris was concerned about the Airport Blvd. intersection in regards to the heavy trucks wearing down the shoulders on the road. The existing paving to the front of the building is 95 ft. on the west line and 65 ft. on the east line. A request has been made to the City Clerk to vacate 15 ft. of the ROW and the vacated area would be landscaped. Mr. Simmons stated that the maneuvering of the trucks is technically adequate because nothing in the code stated the trucks can not stop in road and back up. He would not like to see the 15 ft. vacated because of the possible extension of the road one day. Mr. Morris asked if they could extend the paved area to the east and move the 4 parking spaces shown on the site plan to the east and side of the building so trucks can pull onto MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION - April 3, 1986 - 7:00 P.M.
