Vice Chair Nagler said the on-site circulation and parking layout are fine as proposed and that he is comfortable with staff having the Commission's feedback. He reminded the Commission that the question relates only to the proposed circulation within the lot itself as proposed and whether or not having a single point of access is appropriate. Commissioner Allen thanked Vice Chair Nagler and agreed that the circulation of the parking layout is acceptable for this design. Commissioner Brown asked staff to evaluate and consider where car trailers would park while unloading to ensure they would not disrupt circulation. 2. Is the proposed location of this additional lot, the size of the additional lot and the overall conceptual master plan as is being proposed to be changed acceptable? Commissioner Ritter answered that if he were the owner, he would see that it's already been re-landscaped with drainage improvements and the like. He believes it is the perfect lot to get instant paving and that if the applicant wanted to go the least expensive route and get immediate use that this proposal would make the most sense. Ideally, when dealership #2 comes along and says they want to buy this, the owner will give him this part already graded out and 'then put in an application to make that temporary parking to get that :ready for the next opportunity. Commissioner Ritter concluded that the applicant is likely getting it ready for sale or lease to a future dealer #2. He added that with regard to landscaping, he is really concerned about the code enforcement issues and would like to see it cleaned up. Commissioner Allen agreed with Commissioner Ritter's thoughts on landscaping. She added that she would like to seethe planning of more mature trees because the current trees are not growing, quickly enough to provide the desired coverage. As far as the overall concept, she said she could understand that the Commission could deal with this as a temporary solution, as Commissioner Ritter mentioned, knowing it is all owned by the same person and that if he needed more land later he could take it from dealership #3. Commissioner Allen said she is okay with that but she personally would rather have an option laid out now to deal with the concerns rather than tackle the issues when dealership #3 comes in. She said she would like to see diligence paid to looking at the options of moving some of the temporary parking specific to Chrysler to future dealership#3. Commissioner O'Connor answered that he does not want to design the plan for Mr. Zaheri and that he believes the goal of the applicant is to maximize his income, therefore, he trusts that the plan the applicant proposes will be the best option. With regard to the proposed improvements and the overall conceptual master plan, Commissioner O'Connor said he would like to see the landscaping and lighting issues addressed. The perimeter landscaping should be supplemented so as to become more attractive to the neighboring properties and to passersbys, and the lighting should be toned down to the maximum allowable lumens for the site to prevent spillover into the adjacent residential areas.
