Planning Commission Minutes November 22, 1994 Page 3 --------------------------- --------------------------- . reviewed the site plan review as presented in his memo the Planning Commission dated November 22, 1994. John Ruggieri, the applicant, responded to comments made by the City Planner on the following issues: Handicap stalls - The applicant felt the handicap stalls would be best left in their planned location for safety reasons. He stated that if they were moved to align across from the side entry, they would be forced to raise the pavement 3" in and depress the sidewalk 3". Additional catch basin - The applicant feels that a catch basin in the area proposed would further irritate the existing slope, increasing it from 2 ft. to 4 ft. He did not feel there would be water spilling out onto Freeport Avenue. Underground irrigation - This will be included in the permit application. Evergreen shrubs - The applicant agreed to provide the recommended shrubs along the Highway 169 setback area. Vice-Chair Kuester opened the public hearing. There being no comments from the public, Vice-Chair Kuester closed the public hearing. . Planning Commission discussion included: sidewalk and trash area, striping of the parking stalls near the entry, signage. Commissioner Minton expressed his concern that the area in front of the dumpster area was striped for parking. Mr. Ruggieri explained that the trash removal is usually done in early morning hours and does not interfere with parking during business hours. Mr. Ruggieri explained that there would be free-standing monument-type sign at the entrance, approximately 10 ft. by 10 ft. in size, 10 feet high on a two foot base. Mr. Ruggieri agreed to stripe one of the stalls in front of the entrance for no parking. He stated that they would probably eliminate the sidewalk area at the east end of the building, since most people would come up the handicap ramp area, and that would serve as a sidewalk area. .
