? ' . i PLANNING COMMISSION NOVIIMBER 12, 1985 PAGE 3 curb cut on Country Club Blvd. since there are three exits existing; this would seem to conflict with traffic turning into the Victoria Plaza Apartments. Mr. Weisenthal explained that curb cut is necessary for the traffic flow in this area: it will prevent congestion at other exits and will keep traff ic away from the condominiums and Victoria Lane. He also advised that some of the parking area to the east is owned by the May Company and cannot be utilized by Biskind Development. Condominium owners viewed the plans and were concerned about the land- scaping, screening, and the truck traffic that would now be diverted down Victoria Lane since service road behind the existing shopping center will dead-end at Victoria Lane (truck traffic will not be able to exit out of the west end of the service drive because of the sharp turn onto Country Club Blvd). It was explained that berms on tree lawn on east side of street will be mounded but they cannot be high enough to interfere with service driveways. Neighbors were also concerned abour additional noise from an open air theatre which is shown on plan for future construction. B. Gorris moved to refer the Biskind Development Company proposed construction, located wouth of the existing shopping center, parcel "D", to the Architectural Board of Review, for any par- ticular comments that they might have, as to screening on the west side of the building, and would also like to refer to the Safety Department for their input, especially as it relates to the proposed curb cut on Country Club Blvd. and as it relates to the fact that they are limiting the access of the strip and if there is any concern on the part of the Safety Department regarding that; and also to refer to Engineering for their review, seconded by T. Morgan, and unanimously approved. Mr. Morgan would like to have the traffic impact analysis forwarded to the Safety Department. Mr. Gorris would again like to remind Mr. Carlisle that the Commission would like a parking survey of all parking in the existing shopping center at the next meeting. In reference to the strip shopping center on the northern portion of Great Northern, approved at the last meeting, Mr. Burns advised that he had been given a copy of the reciprocal agreement between Pick and Pay and Great Northern regarding the easements for parking and access.
