. . . Planning Commission Minutes April 24, 2001 Page 4 facing south, and that he has the option to lease space on the existing free- standing multi-tenant sign. Commissioner Mesich asked how much glass would be stored on site and how it is delivered. Mr. Starry explained that he has minimal inventory on site, since he has glass delivery three times daily by a truck with a 20 foot box, not a semi. Mr. Starry stated that most of their work is done off-site and vehicles are worked on in the shop only during inclement weather. Chair Pederson stated he has some concerns with including Condition 1 and 2 with this approval and would not want the property owner to have an additional 2 years to complete the previous conditions. Discussion followed regarding the conditions for reducing the driveway to 30 feet and installing the landscaped island. Mr. Beck stated that he felt it would be easier to ask that the improvements be done before occupancy. Commissioner Mesich stated that the conditions are safety issues. He suggested that a sixth condition be added to require an escrow for the cost of the improvements to ensure that they would be completed. Chair Pederson agreed that the improvements are safety issues and will also enhance the area. He supported the escrow requirement. Commissioner Schuster also agreed with the sixth condition, but he did not feel it was appropriate to include Conditions 1 and 2 in this approval, since these conditions are already in place from the previous land use issue. Commissioner Mesich suggested that the applicant and staff discuss this issue with the property owner prior to the City Council meeting. There being no further comment from the public, Chair Pederson closed the public hearing.
