/ J: ? • Giiffith's memo stated that the yellow line wluch marks the property line should be eliminated since it is useless, and he assumed that'they did have an agreement between the property owners. Mr. Deicliinauu stated that Wendy's drive with a curb on the property line would be workable. It would be the property to the west that would have a problem and without Wendy's drive they would have no access. It would seem that the owner would want an easemenLHe stated that the Engineering Department is in favor ofthe cross access easements, but it would be up to the Commission if it did not work out. It was decided that the Commission would advise Wendy's that they should re-work the existing driveway so that it does not pose a hazard and that they indicate whether or not they have a legal easement to use the adjacent property. They should be told that the configuration of the proposed new driveway is an additional hazard and is not acceptable. Wendy's have indicated that they are hying to eliminate the 4 inch curb, and Mr. Thomas stated that it would be up to the city to elimiuate it and if there were an agreement, the curb could be eliminated and that would make sense. Mr. Gorris stated that the developer should be told that the Commission is generally in concurrence with Mr. Dixon's report, but there is concern because there is no evidence of cross easements on the parcel, and would like evidence of a cross easement before the proposal cau be returned to Plauviug Commission. The proposal cau still go to the Architectural Review Board. Members discuss how this joint drive could be accomplished. Several suggestions were made. It was decided that the entire dxive would have to be recoufigured, arrows would have to indicate traffic flow, curbs might be needed, a stop sign might be necessary at the drive thru. Mr. Orlowski stated that Mr. Griffith did not give any information as to how this combined drive could b accomplished and he is concerned about traffic weaving back and forth and was concerned about a concrete curb. Mr. Thomas suggested that, if they get.the easement, they could widen the drive to 3lanes with the center lane the entrance. The member believed that this would be confusing. The clerk will advise the architect that an easement would be best and give him some idea of wh#t the Commission is asking for. Regarding Mr. Giiffith's second report on the Wal-Mart Traffic study, Mr. Gorris believed that tlus was contrary to what the Commission was asking for and was a complete turn around from what he had said in the first study relative to the main drive coming directly into the front entrauce. He would like Mr. Griffith to come to the next meeting and explain this why he changed his findings: Mr. Deiclunaun believed that Mr. Griffith thought that it would be difficult to develop this property with the front drive away from the property and a second drive in the parking lot would create a hazardous situation with customers crossing to get to the store. Mr. Orlowski again mentioned changing to door on the T.B.O to the west side. He was also coucerned about cars using the Great Northern drive to cut through the parking lot to get to Country Club Boulevard. Mr. Deichmann stated that cars coming from the mall or from I-480 could go directly into the property using the Great Northern drive and that this drive is signalized aud under utilized at present. Regarding the second drive on Brookpark, he believed that the value of a limited access highway was over estimated and would be in favor of the second drive. Mr. Conway had some minor change requests for C.E.I. light poles. It was decided that this infoi7nation should be forwarded to' Mr. Tallon and discussed at a later meeting. 1VIr. Couway also advised that in checking out a request for a shed, one ofhis inspectors found a smoke house on the property in a residential district. He would like a determination if tlus should 5
