Conunissioner Kumaran noted he would be voting against the motion. He noted his "no" vote is in no way reflecting on the Sylvan Learning Center or its worthwhile function. He expressed concern with the parking situation and noted that at a hundred percent occupancy, he would not be in favor of overflow parking on Valley or Hopyard Road. Commissioner Maas noted she frequents this center and rarely has a problem with parking. She noted the adequate parking could be due to the tenant mix in this center. She expressed her enthusiasm with this business occupying a vacant building. She noted this is good use for this center, especially due to the dropping off aspect of the business. Commissioner Kumaran noted he would desire to see parking addressed prior to gaining a hundred percent occupancy and prior to parking becoming an issue. He further noted that ten minutes between classes would be a drain on the parking situation and a concern for the owners. Chairperson Roberts noted she did not have a problem with the proposed business due to the business hours and because of the condition of approval that if there is a parking problem, the application would be required to come back before the Commission. Further, that due to the business not operating late on Friday, there would not be an impact on parking for the restaurants. She noted she would not be in favor of penalizing restaurants' parking due to this business and that parents should realize there are restaurants in the area. She requested that there be a condition as such. A motion was made by Commissioner Maas, seconded by Commissioner Arkin, that the Commission make the conditional use findings as listed in the staff report and approve Case Up-98-66, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit "B".
