side of the location. Mr. Davidson seconded the motion to amend the motion.
Motion failed by majority vote.
A vote was called for on the original motion to approve the site plan and
carried over the dissenting votes of Mr. Carli and Mr. Davidson.
The next item for discussion was the requested wording for a change to the
Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to off - street parking. A copy of a suggested
change was given to the members from staff for consideration.
Mr. Knowles was present and addressed the board as to the possible problems
that could evolve from trying to use the parking requirements incorrectly by
restricting stacked parking. He said stacked parking may be an inconvenience
for the people who have the problem but really does not have much impact on the
character of the area or the health, safety and welfare of the people. The subject
was dismissed by mutual consent.
Mr. Knowles asked the board to be aware of some of the possible problems because
of the recommended rezoning of the property at 2601 McCracken Road from MR -1
to RI -1. He said the City Commission had approved the rezoning and he wished to
point out some things for the P & Z board to consider at the time of site plan
approval for the building. He said McCracken Road is already badly deteriorated
with it's lime rock base, is one of the main school bus routes and is slated
for improvement at a later date but is not suited for industrial use without ex-
tensive improvement and widening of the road to provide for large trucks which
the industrial use would include. He said the developer should be made aware of
the extensive engineering problems and the additional width needed for McCracken
Road, even possible repaving of McCracken Road if it is to be utilized for in-
dustrial use. Chairman Morris thanked Mr. Knowles for his input.
The minutes of the previous meeting were approved. There being no further business,
the meeting was adjourned.
