PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 26, 1985 PAGE 4 Country Club and this is not the median cut to be used, the drives will be approximately 337' apart. Mr. Quidatano, representing the owners of Victoria Plaza Apartments,objected to proposal on the basis that this along with other new developments will increase traffic problems on Country Club Blvd. Mr. Carlisle will give a copy of the new traffic survey to Mr. Quidatano. T. Morgan moved that the proposal to develop parcel "D" which is located south of the existing Great Northern Shop- ping Center extending to Country Club Blvd, as shown on the site plan, be approved including the recommendations of the Architectural'Review Board; including the recommendation that the existing medium cut be closed up and grassed over, that one which does not provide access or egress from any point; and that while the site plan indicates parking which conforms to the codes is adequate for the codes in the shopping area, we would like to consider that as approval of a' p relimin ary parking plan, final parking plan which would be again reviewed by the Planning Commission when the results of the traffic study which will be made within the next month be reviewed if this_parking.varies with the potential on the parking required for the strip shopping center. Mr. Morgan went on to explain that he was approving this on the basis that the preliminary plan was the minimum parking required; and he would like to have a re-review based on the new study. Assistant Law Di- rector Dubelko advised that the developer would have to consent to this stipulation. He stated that he did not think the study was relative to determine if any proposal meets the code, the study might be rel- ative to changing the code. The Law Department will have to look at the various parcels that technically have different ownerships to determine if that parking can be considered as a whole; after that 'is decided, the parking must meet the code as it is written. Mr. Carlisle does not want Parcel "D" held up, since its parking exceeds the code; he cannot commit to putting in additional parking for the existing strip at this loca- tion, if it is determined that the Pick and Pay parking mustbe considered separate from the shopping center, then parcel "D" would also have to be considered separate, both are owned by separate entities; he will work with the Commission on parking problems on the existing strip, if park- ing is shown to be deficient; he is concerned that he might be required to add parking spaces based on the busiest day of the year. Mr. Burns stated that parking for this proposal exceeds the code; survey should not be a factor in this proposal. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Gorris still have concerns that this parking is not sufficient when the total strip is considered, customers will park on parcel "D" and walk to the shopping center. Mr. Gorris would like to table proposal until they get a ruling from the Law Department. After much discussion it was agreed to pro- cede with this approval and Mr. Carlisle agreed that they will continue to undertake an analysis of the parking at the plaza and the plaza south for any future development. T. Morgan moved that the proposal to de- velop parcel "D" which is located south of the existing Great Northern Shopping Center extending to Country Club Blvd, as shown on thesite plan, be approved including the recommendations of the Architectural Board of Review; including recommendation that the existing medium cut be closed up and grassed over, that one which does not provide access or egress from any point; parking for this proposal does conform, and with the agreement in the future between Great Northern and the Planning Com- mission to review the overall parking and make determinations whether
