•the site. Mr. Mongello the owner of the neighboring site believed that the number of variances were significant and felt that the applicants were trying to put too much on a small lot. Ms. Brandon voiced that as it was during the holidays the condo and apartment owners could not get out of their driveways as the traffic along Lorain Road blocked their drives and she believes that the car wash would only cause the traffic problems to increase. She strongly suggested the applicants be asked to conduct a traffic impact study of the area before the plans were approved. Mrs. Diver felt that there could be a reasonable return made without all the variances being granted. The variances being requested are substantial and she is concerned that emergency vehicles would not have access to the site in an emergency. She did not believe that the required radius could not be met and that it was debatable as to whether or not government services would be affected by the site. The proposed owner has full knowledge of the limitations of the site prior to purchasing the lot. She did not feel that the spirit and intent of the code would be met if all the variances were granted. She is not comfortable with the radius of the driveway or the possible impact the site would have on traffic. J.
