Minutes <br />Planning Commission <br />October 22, 1986 <br />Commissioner Wellman felt it was in the best interest of the City <br />to get a Post Office location approved to get the Post Office <br />going. The other Commissioners agreed with this unanimously. <br />Commissioner Michelotti discussed with staff traffic impacts of a <br />Post Office in a retail area. Mr. Swift indicated that <br />engineering had a problem with the snorkel lane off-site. On <br />Black Avenue the lane is on site. <br />Mr. Callahan then reviewed the many contacts with the Post Office <br />and the varying opinions of their needs of the many people with <br />which he has made contact. Mr. Callahan stated again that the <br />traffic would not necessarily be using Owens/Hopyard intersection <br />to get to the Post Office. <br />The developer and staff did not agree upon the addition of some <br />trees in clusters along the northern boundary of the site. The <br />Planning Commission agreed because the rear parking lot is <br />essentially unattractive as viewed from the freeway and would be <br />largely obscured by the planting. <br />The public hearing was closed. <br />After discussion between the developers, Commission and staff, <br />the Planning Commission reached consensus on the following <br />conditions: <br />1. Agree with staff condition. <br />2. Agree with staff condition. <br />3. Approved preliminary sign placements on the building to have <br />"Mercedes Benz" and logo on the northerly showroom elevation <br />and dealer name and logo on the westerly showroom elevation <br />4. Delete staff's recommendation <br />4. Added two clusters of Shamel ash street trees along Owens <br />Drive (eliminating Canary Island pines). <br />5. Modified the Lot 51A-51B common driveway landscaping to match <br />the Owens Court treatment. <br />6. Added "parking court trees" in the landscape median on the <br />south side of the building between service doors. <br />7. Added shrubs and trees in the rear parking area landscape <br />islands to screen the north elevation service doors. <br />8. Increased the width of the planter along the east and north <br />sides of the building. <br />9. Added clusters of "canal trees" along the rear property line <br />in the 15' landscape easement. <br />10. Deleted the drop box "snorkel lane" in front of Site 51B. <br />- 12 - <br />_~. <br />r_ __.... _ _ _. <br />
