to be residential thouah. They can't build a commercial building or anything else. Mr. Asseff pointed out it must be single residence. The board agreed. Mr. Koeth moved to accept the consolidation of Barbara Papp, 5573 Whitehaven, to consolidate Permanent Parcel Number 233-21-014 (Sublot 316) and 233-21-015 (Sublot 317) into one parcel. The motion was seconded by Mr. Allen. Unanimously approved. Mr. O'IVlalley asked for an interruption of the agenda so Mr. Shaffer from the RTA could get clarification on the motion. Mr. Koeth said on the south side, they want a mound to protect church property from Great Northern Blvd. They want it tapered so traffic can see. They want it with landscaping, evergreens. They still want the chain link fence that is presently there. It is existing fence that RTA said they would leave in. They want the 12' fence as proposed. On the northern side, eliminate the chain link fence. They want a 4' mound with a 6' high fence. And continue the same fencing that you have along Kennedy Ridge, using the same style and same material. They need the air quality tests. Mr. Koeth added that some of the lights on the perimeter could be on timers. To appease the residents, if you could cut down on a couple of the lights, the people there will be very happy. Mr. Terbrack pointed out that people will tend to park closer to the building. There was further group discussion about parking and lighting. Mr. Koeth recommended passing out information on the buses for Indians fans regarding parking. Chairman Koeth added the Planning Commission needs to see the landscaping plans. V. COMMLJNICATIONS VI. CONIIvIITTEE REPORTS: Mr. O'Malley reported on a communication from the Law Department based on the subject rnatter discussed at the conclusion of the last meeting. The Law Director recominended that the Planning Commission request communication directed to the Mayor, and copied to City Council, requesting appropriations for an expert to consult on the issue of rezoning on Parcel E property. If the Planning Commission put that in the form of a communication of some kind, directed to the IVlayor and Council, perhaps they would during appropriations season, order up some money. Mrs. O'Rourke asked if he thought that would be a good thing to do. Mr. O'Malley indicated it is a good idea. Mr. Koeth said he hopes they do not get resistance from Council because it would really benefit both sides. He said he will work with Mr. O'Malley to put something together. Mr. O'Malley brought up that Mr. Conway had suggested the possiblity of having some sub committee of Planning Commission work on the zoning code. He said maybe a member would be interested in working with the building department, law department, and perhaps a member of the Board of Zoning and Development to study the zoning code. Mr. Spalding pointed out that was done last year. Mr. O'Malley said he will review the report. VII. MINOR CHANGES: VIII. NEW BUSINESS: IX. OLD BUSINESS: X.
