the
Zoning

of
Appeals
makes
a
recommendation
to
City

the
determining
body
for
this
case.
Documents
included
as
part
of
the
record
include
special
use.
B
F
Is
it's
a
the
the
gas
station
down
to
the
south
edge
of
the
Edison
on
140
Chicago
Avenue,
just
a
little
bit
north
of
Howard?
It's
an
existing
station.
Now
it's
been
functioning
for
about
50
years
now.
The
particular
characteristics
of
it
is
that
it
has
six
fuel
pumps
and
it's
got
a
very
small
building.
F
It's
about
450
square
feet.
The
site
is
sort
of
long
and
narrow
in
actuality.
It
works
very
nicely
as
a
gas
station
has
had
been
functioning
for
these
decades
with
no
problems.
The
ownership
basically
would
at
this
time.
Let
me
back
up
it's
an
older
station
it'd
be
very
nice.
If
we
could
redo
the
whole
thing,
we
would
like
to
upgrade
it
take
down
the
building,
take
that
in
the
canopy
and
the
pumps
and
redo
everything
new,
but
still
you
know,
maintain
a
gas
station.
F
Things
have
changed
in
the
last
50
years.
What
over
a
small
450
square
foot
little
building
might
have
sufficed,
been
been
sufficient
in
the
past.
Now
there
are
certain
expectations
that
the
public
has
some
small
Mart
capacity,
the
basics
that
people
are
just
cutting
used
to
getting
nowadays
at
a
gas
station.
So
we
in
our
plan
we
would
like
to
put
in
a
1,500
square
foot
March
building
that
will
have
the
basics
that
people
aren't
expecting,
since
it
is
a
narrow
sight.
F
One
of
the
design
challenges
was
to
get
the
the
automobile
traffic
flow
and
the
building
and
everything
to
work
well
safely
smoothly.
We
worked
quite
a
long
time
at
it.
We
went
through
like
26
site
plans.
That's
ok,
all
in
the
people
on
the
goal
of
getting
the
the
best
balance
that
we
can
from
a
design
point
of
view
for
pedestrian
traffic
vehicular
traffic
truck
traffic.
That
tankers
coming
in
have
a
what
is
still
a
fairly
modest
building
and
we
went
from
six
pumps
down
to
five
pumps.
F
One
of
the
main
design
features
is
that
we,
instead
of
having
them
inline
or
perpendicular,
say
to
Chicago
Avenue,
where
we've
chosen
a
an
angle.
Pop
approach
having
them
at
approximately
30
degree
angle
allows
for
a
much
easier,
more
gentle,
smooth
air
transportation
flow
for
the
cars
where
they
come
in.
They
don't
have
to
make
a
hard
turn.
F
They
make
a
gentle
turn
in
they
fuel
they
get
in
back
in
the
car,
and
then
they
make
a
sort
of
a
gentle
turn
out
as
they
exit
southward
75
percent,
or
so
the
traffic
actually
comes
from
the
north
going
south.
So
we've
oriented
them
with
that
in
mind,
and
we
are
calling
up
for
a
one-way
at
the
South
eggs
south
entrance.
There's
a
north
drive
in
a
north-south
Drive,
the
South
Drive
just
to
inhibit
Carson
coming
in
in
going
counter
counter
flow.
We
are
putting
the
one-way
there
on
the
northern
exit.
F
Dealings
with
Evanston
with
the
staff,
the
the
preference
has
been
to
have
our
parking
at
the
far
north
end,
be
90
degree
parking.
That
means
they
can
pull
in
and
pull
out
and
go
either
way.
90
degree
parking,
standard,
standard,
90
degree,
parking
calls
for
24
foot
drive
I
strongly
feel
that
I
want
people
to
be
able
when
they
pull
out
they're
gonna
many
case
be
pulling
out
with
their
rear
heading
west
they're
gonna
be
aiming
straight
to
an
exit
and
I
know.
F
It's
gonna
happen,
they're,
going
to
want
to
go
straight
out
that
exit
they're
not
going
to
want
to
drive
past
five
pumps
and
whatever
else
pedestrian
traffic
to
go
out.
The
other
gas
station
properties
are
very
fluid.
There
is
essentially
a
hundred
percent
overlap
between
car
traffic
and
pedestrian
traffic.
It's
just
the
nature
of
car
of
gas
stations,
we're
all
used
to
it.
It
works
fine
cars
going
five
six
miles
an
hour.
People
are
walking
two
two
and
a
half
three
miles
per
hour.
F
That's
basically
the
reason
to
respond
to
your
question.
We
do
have
to
maintain
reasonably
wide
entries.
Thirty
five
feet
for
the
Norn
Drive,
and
that
is
to
get
the
the
big
tanker
trucks
in
I
have
to
be
able
to
get
a
full-sized
semi
in
there
fueled
and
they
trap
the
the
truck
diagrams
so
that
we
have
provided
so
that
it
works.
F
F
F
15
feet
clear:
all
trucks
in
the
entire
country
clears
15
feet.
It
says
the
federal
standard,
so
there's
no
problem
there,
so
they
come
in
here.
They
they
position
themselves
to
fuel
up
the
tank
tanks.
They
will
probably
back
up
20
30
feet
and
then
they'll
make
their
exit
exit
out
all
very
standard.
It
works.
Mr.
G
F
Is-
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
on
that-
actually,
no
we're
not
gonna
have
a
sidewalk
there.
Then.
What
we
have
is
this
is
one
of
those
cases
were
now
all
guess,
who's
right
this
there
is
basically
a
hundred
percent
overlap
between
pedestrian
traffic
and
car
traffic.
In
a
gas
station,
everyone
pulls
up
to
their
spot.
You
know
whether
it's
at
the
north
and
south
end.
They
will
walk
right
across.
E
I
F
F
H
Here's
my
here
my
concern
is
your
you're
reducing
the
number
of
pumps.
You
are
creating
a
one-way
traffic
flow
which
I
think
actually
is.
Why
is
in
a
way,
but
then
what
you're
also
doing
potentially
is
creating
a
backup
of
cars
waiting
at
the
north
end
of
the
parking
lot
waiting
for
one
of
the
five
stalls
to
open
up
and
potentially
spilling
it
doesn't
look
from
the
drawing
like
there's
much
room
for
a
line
of
cars
waiting
without
spilling
out
onto
Avenue.
F
F
H
H
If
there's
a
need
to
wait
for
an
empty
pump
and
or
you
can
pull
in
and
still
maneuver
around,
if
you
have
only
one
way
of
pulling
in
on
the
horizontal
way,
so
moving
from
the
top
of
the
drawing
to
the
bottom
to
pull
in,
you
essentially
have
to
wait
in
the
in
the
in
the
northwest
corner
of
the
lot
for
an
open,
open
pump
and
there's
not
room
for
any
more
than
one
car
to
sit
there
and
wait,
and
even
if
one
car
is
there
waiting,
then
it
blocks
the
entrance.
I.
A
A
F
F
Me
think
here
for
a
moment
that
the
truck
turn
one.
Perhaps
there
is
one
curious
thing:
that's
going
on.
You
see,
there's
like
a
tapered
line
coming
down
here.
There
is
an
extra
Lane,
essentially
right
here.
That
is
it's
not
a
lane.
It's
just
broadening
of
the
it's
a
it's
a
widened
portion
of
the
drive
of
Chicago
Avenue
from
that
month.
From
that
point
on
from
the
North
Korea
violet,
it
actually
dimensions
down
to
zero.
F
F
I
F
My
answer,
then,
is
that
there
are
two
lanes
heading
south.
So
if
lo
and
behold
there
were
extra
cars
that,
like
in
any
business
I,
suppose
any
business
whatsoever
that
has
an
inlet
and
that
you
know,
has
X
amount
of
parking
if
there's
X,
plus
three
cars
in
this
case,
there
does
not
stop
traffic
on
Chicago,
Avenue
Chicago,
and
you
still
maintains
with
since
it
has
two
lanes.
J
J
F
If
I
could
elaborate
on
that,
just
a
touch
the
ears.
The
issue
currently
is
that
although
the
cars
lineup
all
in
a
line,
if
you
want
to
get
to
the,
if
there's
a
car
in
the
front
pump
and
car
at
a
rear
pump
to
get
to
the
middle
pump,
you
have
to
drive,
then
you
basically
have
to
double
parallel
park.
People
aren't
very
good
at
parallel
parking
anymore,
so
they'll
pull
up
they'll
back
in
they'll
pull
in
at
an
angle,
which
means
I'll
block.
Other
traffic
is
problematic
right
now.
This
is
a
far
superior.
F
More
easily
flowing
safer
design,
no
holds
barred.
Then
trying
to
line
cars
up
were
your
parallel
parking
to
get
into
your
spot
and
the
the
danger
downside
is
that
someone
who's
really
not
skilled.
It
will
actually
back
right
into
a
pump,
it's
possible.
It
doesn't
happen
often,
but
that's
the
last
thing
we
want.
F
Will
we
are
planning
on
delivering
that
with
the
permit
drawings
or
board?
Actually
I'm
told
that
we
will
be
meeting
again
with
the
incorrect
yes
and
we
we
always
do,
provide
a
fundamental
plan
and
I
don't
and
to
speak
specifically
and
that
our
our
goal
is
the
south
property
line
is
most
critical.
We
want
to
have
as
close
to
zero
as
possible
on
the
South
line,
since
we
have
new,
lovely
new
residential
power
coming
in
to
the
south
and
to
the
west.
F
F
H
F
The
this
was
a
an
amazingly
careful
balancing
act
of
getting
all
the
flow
car
flow
and
truck
flow
to
work.
For
me
to
be
able
to
get
trucks
to
safely
come
in
and
out,
we
had
to
position
the
the
the
canopy
is
essentially
where
it
is.
Let
me
turn
this
off
mm-hmm.
Thank
you.
Forgive
me
in
conjunction
with
that,
then,
is
the
the
traffic
coming
in
and
the
park
cars
to
the
north.
F
We
want
very
much
for
them
to
be
we're
asking
for
a
variance
essentially
to
have
two-way
traffic
for
the
sake
of
the
parking
I
can
maintain
24
foot
clear
behind
the
building
and
actually
the
21
feet
is,
to
the
say,
the
north
that
the
back
corner
of
a
car
that
might
be
sparked
at
the
north
pump
at
any
given
time.
It's
probably
the
one-third
of
the
time
they'll,
probably
be
a
car
they're
arbitrarily
speaking
so
normally
we
wouldn't
even
need
the
21
feet,
but
to
that
to
that
car
there
would
be
21
feet.
J
D
F
Thank
you,
that's
actually
simply
to
the
canopy
and
nothing
else.
It's
not
to
the
car
bumper
I,
don't
measure
to
a
car
bumper,
it's
more
of
a
practical
dimension
that
zoning
pointed
out
and
I
agree
with
them,
and
it's
it's
a
realistic
number,
but
the
22
feet.
I
have
to
maintain
that's
to
the
where
the
canopy
is.
G
F
K
A
A
F
F
The
delivery
trucks
would
would
come
in
and
they
would
angle
in
here
and
park
in
that
neck
of
the
woods
right
there
and
then
they
all
they
have
to
do
is
cart
there.
You
know
with
cart,
there's
their
product
in
right.
Actually,
it's
it's
in
the
there's,
not
necessarily
a
lot
more
trucks
coming
in
that
they're,
stealing
the
same
stuff.
It's
just
that
they'll
have
a
little
more
room
for
more
of
it,
so,
but
they
still
have
to
deliver
all
the
same.
F
The
vac
actually
pretty
far
away
from
the
residential
tower.
They
make
not
massive
noise
but
a
little
bit
so
I'd
rather
keep
it
at
the
north
end
at
the
south,
and
it's
usually
it's
this
kind
of
customary
to
have
it
on
the
edge
of
a
parking.
So
anyone
who
wants
to
use
it
that's
their
spot
to
pull
into
so
I
I,
don't
want
to
put
it
to
the
south
that'd
be
the
only
other
location
to
put
it
and
I
really
don't
want
to
put
it
there
just
because
of
the
noise.
H
F
I'm
just
trying
to
be
a
considerate
neighbor
of
the
the
new
residents.
So
five
stories,
rather
than
is
coming
into
the
south
I
mean
it's
not
like:
it's
not
fun.
I
would
fight
tooth
and
nail
necessarily
if
you
wanted
that
on
the
south,
but
it's
it's
also
visible
enough.
So
people
pull
in
and
they
they'll
see
it
and
they
say:
oh
there's,
Thursday
back
I
can
go,
get
that
or
err
I
ask.
C
H
C
F
Maybe
think
if
I
only
have
six
spots
in
the
whole
place
and
if
the
four
most
useful
ones
are
here
and
I
really
don't
want
to
diminish
that
I
mean
that's.
It's
of
these
are
a
little
bit
further
away.
One
of
them
I
would
put
an
employee
car,
so
I
basically
have
five
cars
spots.
I
don't
want
to
I,
don't
really
want
to
diminish
that
every
one
counts.
When
you
have
that
few,
it's.
H
F
C
F
F
More
than
happy
to
interact
with
dapper
and
talking,
and
it
meant
and
when
they're
very
good
at
working
together
to.
H
Act
except
for
I
think
moving
so
putting
the
weight
and
bottleneck
issue
aside,
yeah
I'm
amenable
to
moving
the
vacuums,
because
I
think
it
makes
the
zoning
relief
that's
been
requested
less
of
a
burden
if
those
parking
spots
are
moved
further
to
the
east,
where
the
vacuums
are
located.
So
it's
not
like
hey.
Let's
push
it
on
someone
else,
I
think
to
me:
that's
a
condition
that
makes
it
more
palatable
to
grant
the
relief.
F
A
A
I
Rodgers
I
live
at
1:33,
Clyde
Avenue,
which
is
literally
across
the
metro
tracks,
so
my
building
does
sort
of
back
up
to
them
with
a
metro
train
in
between
us.
This
is
something
that
that
is
very,
very
welcome
in
the
neighborhood
as
we
develop,
Howard,
Street
and
sort
of
this
is
the
next
moving
up
of
Howard
Street.
The
building
is
an
older
building.
It
doesn't
look
as
nice,
no
offense,
but
so
having
something
that
is
more
of
a
welcoming
into
Evanston.
I
I
I
would
make
sure
that
is
a
two-way
and
I
would
not
make
it
a
one-way
all
the
way
through,
because
you're
going
to
have
people
who
want
to
go
north
and
if
you
go
south,
there's
no
easy
way
to
get
back
on
to
Chicago
Avenue
because
of
the
metro
tracks
and
it's
cut
off
at
certain
streets,
so
you
have
to
go
almost
up
to
Oakton
would
be
the
the
next
nearest
point
that
you
could
turn
to
get
back
on
to
Chicago
Avenue.
So
what
that
would
do
is
create
more
traffic
coming
through
residential
neighborhoods.
I
So
that's
why
I
would
be
very
encouraging
of
having
at
least
a
way
to
turn
north
onto
Chicago
there.
One
of
the
other
things
that's
kind
of
been
raised
is
the
traffic
flow
coming
down
with
city
Grange
coming
in,
and
mostly
you
can
kind
of
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
on
anything
here.
But
the
plan
is
to
put
parking
along
Chicago
Avenue
at
that
very
south
end.
Still
the
last
I
heard.
I
So
the
lanes
will
actually
start
to
narrow
down
anyway,
so
if
it
moves
a
little
further
north,
the
lanes
narrow
down
all
the
better,
because
that
will
help
slow
traffic
and
get
it
into
queue
for
the
light
there
at
at
Howard
and
Chicago
Avenue,
but
I
100%
support
the
project.
I
think
it's
very
welcoming
to
bring
a
fresh
new
face
to
that
side.
I
A
H
Agree
with
the
comments
of
the
neighbor
mr.
Rogers
about
his
neighborhood
and
I
think
it's.
It
is
a
good
project
I,
actually
like
the
creative
use
of
diagonally
oriented
pumps
and
using
a
traffic
flow
solution.
I
am
concerned
a
little
bit
about
the
the
reduction
in
width
and
the
backup
of
traffic,
but
it
sounds
like
from
mr.
H
Rogers
comments,
there's
not
as
much
of
a
concern
about
traffic
to
the
extent
that
there's
going
to
be
parking
on
Chicago
Avenue
alongside
that
lot,
potentially
anyway
and
I
do
believe
it
can
be
slightly
alleviated
if
the
if
the
five
parking
spots
can
be
relocated
further
east,
where
the,
where
the
vacuums
are
currently
shown
on
the
drawing
so
I'm
in
favor
of
the
project
with
conditions.
Thank.
A
I
actually
happen
to
think
that
it's
it's
a
it's
a
fairly
elegant
solution
to
a
painful
problem
that
I
experienced
routinely
at
various
gas
stations
and
I
think
that
you
actually
do
have
plenty
of
stack
space
for
vehicles
on
that
East
Side
in
that
drive
aisle
over
there
on
that
East
Side,
so
I
am
I'm
in
favor
of
your
project
as
well.
Without
the
conditions
of
moving
the
vacuum
and
the
error
I
think
that's
gonna
cause
a
bit
of
grief.
A
A
H
The
issue
caused
by
the
reduce
way
is
potential
collision.
That's
why
the
24-foot
requirement
exists,
because
that's
how
much
room
is
needed
to
maneuver
there,
so
reducing
the
way.
If
you
have
a
car
parked
at
that
back
pump
and
a
car
pulling
out
of
the
easternmost
parking
space,
you
have
a
smaller
area
and
that's
the
concern
there.
He
said
they
maintain
that
insurance
now
and
I'm,
saying
as
a
condition
to
getting
zoning
relief
that
increases
the
risk
of
accident.
That
they'd
be
required
to
maintain
that
insurance,
I
guess.
A
I'm
uncomfortable
going
that
far
because
we've
never
done
that
before
and
gone
so
far
as
to
require
somebody
to
have
a
certain
amount
of
insurance
or
certain
type
of
insurance,
so
I
guess
I'm
I'm
disinclined
to
go
that
far
and
take
what
we
have
done
further
than
we
ever
have
before.
Yes,
I
mean
I'm
disinclined,
so
anybody
else
have
thoughts
on
that
want
to
weigh.
A
D
D
No
difference
on
insurance,
you
have
a
certain
amount
that
is
your
highest
premium
and
you
main
take.
You
can
have
many
many
accident
in
there
and
your
insurance
is
the
one.
That's
gonna
say:
I'm
gonna
drop
you
or
not,
so
that's
up
to
there.
They
still
have
to
pay
for
their
insurance,
their
business
insurance,
and
that
will
cover
it.
If.
H
A
A
B
Was
reviewed
at
dapper
and
you
know
I
believe
unanimously
recommended
for
approval.
Therefore,
we
we
really
do
not
have
concerns
with
it
drive
aisle
variations
have
been
granted
in
the
past
and
I
think,
specifically
at
a
gas
station
site.
There
are
always
vehicles
going
in
multiple
directions,
even
when
they're
not
supposed
to
be,
and
it's
just
something
that
the
user
needs
to
be
more
aware
in
general,.
H
A
Okay,
any
other
thoughts
comments
from
anyone
all
right,
so
there
are
seven
standards
for
a
major
variation.
So
the
first
is
that
the
requested
variation
will
not
have
a
substantial
adverse
impact
on
the
used
enjoyment
or
property
values
of
adjoining
properties.
This
is
an
existing
gas
station
and
it's
going
to
be
a
gas
station.
So
there's
no
change
in
the
use
there,
and
so
there
should
be
no
change
to
anybody
in
the
immediate
area.
So
I
do
believe
that
that
standard
has
been
met.
A
Number
two:
the
requested
variation
is
in
keeping
with
the
intent
of
the
zoning
ordinance.
One
of
the
intents
of
the
zoning
ordinance
is
to
let
business
owners
update
and
expand
to
their
business
as
they
see
fit
to
reap
some
economic
rewards.
So
I
believe
that
that
standard
has
been
met.
Number
three,
the
alleged
hardship
or
practical,
practical
difficulty
is
peculiar
to
the
property,
is
a
very
skinny
site,
a
long
and
skinny
site,
and
it
is
a
true
challenge
to
be
able
to
get
traffic
circulation
to
work
on
this
site
and
I.
A
Think
that,
given
their
particular
they're
working
through
26
site
plans
with
staff
is
evidence
of
the
hardship
of
that
peculiar
site.
So
I
do
believe
that
that
standard
has
been
met.
Number
four,
the
property
owner
would
suffer
a
particular
hardship
or
practical
difficulty
as
distinguished
from
a
mere
inconvenience
if
the
strict
letter
of
the
regulations
were
to
be
carried
out.
A
Frankly,
the
the
parking
spaces
are
not
required
by
zoning,
and
so
they
are
providing
these
four
parking
spaces
at
the
request
of
staff,
and
so
given
that
that
they're
not
required
at
all,
it's
a
difficulty
to
have
them
meet
the
full
standard
of
the
of
the
drive
Isle
with
when
they're,
squeezing
so
much
into
a
limited
site
anyway.
So
I
do
believe
that
that
standard
has
been
met.
Number
five:
the
purpose
of
the
variation
is
not
based
exclusively
upon
a
desire
to
extract
additional
income
from
the
property.
A
Clearly
we
hope
they
extract
additional
income
because
we
want
your
tax
dollars.
So
so
next
we
look
at
the
public
benefit
and
there
is
a
clear
public
benefit
here.
It
is
a
much
nicer
looking
building.
It
certainly
will
help
revitalize
helped
in
the
continued
revitalization
of
that
neighborhood
and
that
part
of
town
and
so
I
do
believe
that
there
is
a
significant
public
benefit
here,
so
that
standard
has
been
met.
Number
six,
the
alleged
difficulty
or
hardship
has
not
been
created
by
any
person
having
an
interest
in
the
property.
A
These
owners
only
bought
this
particular
lot
in
station
six
years
ago,
so
this
station
has
been
there
for
longer
than
that,
so
that
definitely
predates
them
so
that
standard
has
been
met
and
number
seven.
The
request
of
variation
requires
the
least
deviation
from
the
applicable
regulation
among
the
feasible
options
identified
before
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals.
We're
gonna
go
back
again
to
the
twenty
six
site
plans.
I
am
rigueur
on
this
deviation
from
the
the
minimum
deviation
and
when
somebody
comes
up
with
26
variations
to
try
and
satisfy
staff.
A
H
A
You
we
will
now
go
on
to
the
nine
standards
for
a
special
use
and
number
one.
It
is
one
of
the
special
uses
specifically
listed
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
It
is
number
two
it's
in
keeping
with
the
purposes
and
policies
of
the
adopted,
comprehensive
general
plan
and
the
zoning
ordinance
as
amended
from
time
to
time
it.
A
Providing
a
larger
store
does
both
a
its
growth
of
that
particular
business
as
well
as
strengthening
our
economic
base.
So
those
standards
have
been
met.
Number
three:
it
will
not
cause
a
negative
cumulative
effect
when
its
effect
is
considered
in
conjunction
with
all
the
cumulative
effect
with
the
cumulative
effect
of
various
special
uses
of
all
types
on
the
immediate
neighbourhood.
There
are
not.
There
is
not
a
proliferation
of
gas
stations
and
convenience
stores
in
the
neighborhood,
so
I
do
believe
that
that
standard
has
been
met.
A
Number
four:
it
does
not
interfere
with
or
diminish
the
value
of
the
property
in
the
neighborhood.
In
fact,
given
that
it
is
a
much
nicer
looking
building,
it
certainly
will
increase
the
value
of
properties
in
the
neighborhood
by
being
redeveloped
with
nicer
landscaping
as
well.
Let's
just
the
building,
it's
the
landscaping.
That's
key,
so
I
do
believe
that
that
standard
has
been
number
five.
It
can
be
adequately
served
by
public
facilities
and
services.
It's
on
a
busy
thoroughfare,
so
it
is
easily
accessed
by
everything
so
that
standard
has
been
met.
Number
six.
A
H
A
You
number
7
preserves
significant
historical
and
architectural
resources
which
does
not
apply.
It
preserves
significant
so
that
Sanders
has
been
met,
number
8.
It
preserves
significant
natural
and
environmental
features,
which
does
not
apply
as
well
and
number
9
at
Moz,
with
all
other
political
regulations
of
the
district
in
which
it
is
located
in
other
applicable
ordinances,
which
you
will
so
that
standard
has
certainly
been
met.
So
we
are
going
to
make
a
motion.
Will
someone
make
a
motion
for
I'd.
A
B
H
19
cm
JV
zero,
zero
one,
four
that
we
recommend
to
City,
Council,
that
the
special
use
be
granted
and
that
the
major
zoning
relief
be
approved
subject
to
the
following
conditions.
These
nine
conditions
come
out
of
diapers
recommended
conditions,
one
that
the
applicant
provide
visual
demarcation
separating
the
public,
sidewalk
and
driveway
Isle.
To
that
they
add
signage,
arrows
on
the
pavement
and
directional
signage,
indicating
traffic
flow
three
that
they
reduced,
the
south
curb
cut
width
for
that
they
removed
the
word.
H
Sidewalk
quote:
sidewalk
near
the
building
five
that
they
changed:
the
Parkway
mulch
to
grass
on
the
landscape
plan;
six
that
they
add
a
bike,
rack,
seven,
that
they
clearly
mark
eight.
The
ad
a
fuel
pump
with
a
notification
button,
eight
that
they
provide
call
a
color
rendering
of
the
building
and
nine
that
they
provide
a
photometric
plan.
E
H
B
C
E
B
B
That
is
under
review,
but
honestly
it's
really
hard
to
get
someone
onto
the
Zoning
Board
if
any
one
out
and
the
public
is
watching
and
would
like
to
join
the
Zoning
Board.
Please
apply
through
the
mayor's
office:
okay,
okay,
so
we'll
keep.
If
any
of
you
have
interest
in
it
or
questions
or
anything
about
being
chair,
let
me
know
talked
to
Mary
Beth,
but
we
do
need
to
it's.
B
Forward-
and
it
doesn't
mean
that
you
have
to
do
it
for
years
and
years,
I'm
sure
if,
if
someone
maybe
wants
to
do
it
for
six
months
and
then
we
switch
to
someone
else,
that's
always
a
possibility.
So
just
think
things
over.
Please,
that's
all!
Oh
wait,
one
more
thing:
Oh!
Our
next
dawning
board
hearing
is
a
special
meeting
for
scheduled
for
April
10th.
That
is
a
Wednesday.
B
It's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
different
than
usual.
First,
what
is
happening
is
at
seven
o'clock.
The
plan
Commission
will
convene
for
a
meeting
of
their
own.
That
will
take
probably
just
a
few
minutes.
Cba
members
are
welcome
to
be
up
at
the
diocese
and
and
quiet
during
that
or
you
can
be
out
elsewhere
and
as
soon
as
they
wrap
the
Zoning
Board
will
convene
for
a
regular
CBA.
B
Only
meeting
for
one
case
that
I
am
anticipating
will
be
quick,
I,
don't
know
for
sure,
and
as
soon
as
that
wraps
then
these
CBA
and
plan
Commission
together
will
convene
for
a
joint
meeting
to
hear
the
case
that
you
guys
previously
heard
for
Knicks
organic
for
a
type
two
restaurant,
in
conjunction
with
some
additional
requests
that
they
are
now
making,
including
a
map,
which
is
why
we
have
a
joint
meeting.
So
we
will
have
three
meetings
in
a
row
all
in
the
same
room
that
night.
