He explained the owners are in discussion with a <br />video store who might use 6,000 square feete They are also negotiating <br />with the bank to the west in order to have a cross over easement which <br />would allow access across adjacent pa.rcels to Sparky Lane, in that event <br />the southernmost drive would be either eliminated or be changed to a <br />right turn exit only. The entrances to the building would be from the <br />Best entrance drive, requiring left hand turns into the building thus <br />creating more congestion in the already congested area. It was <br />questioned if both entrances were necessary; and if the size of the <br />development and the amount of black top is compatible with the lot.

BuiTding <br />Comunissioner Conway, advised that the code woulcl require 8' less spaces. <br />There will be other restrictions on the propertg, including a height <br />restriction and the prohibition of some types of businesses. It was <br />suggested that they consider eliminating the southernmost drive or else - <br />Teaving the existing island intact and using the drive, as a right hand? <br />turn only out of the. property; and including additional landscaping ' <br />perhaps by landbanking some parking spaces. There is concern tfiat the <br />future use of this parcel conform to the contiguous areas. riembers <br />agreed that this should be tabled until the requested information was <br />submitteda T. Morgan moved to table the proposal for the Carter Plaza <br />until thz next meeting and ask that the developer provide the Best <br />covenants to the Law Department for its review particularly as it <br />relates to parking; that the developer provide a site_plan that shows <br />the contiguous or adjacent parcels within 500 feet of this property; and <br />that the developer look again at the internal traffic pattern which may be able.to eliminate the southernmost driveway, seconded by R.
