Page 10 Minutes Planning Commission Mr. Harris reported that .fibre glass roofs vary and can be triade to look like shingles. The City is requiring that they submit samples of materials that will be used to insure the highest quality of materials. Mr. Roquette then expressed concern with the configuration of Pimlico realigned. He stated this project is almost like putting the cart before the horse. Overall traffic is a real concern of the area. They have concerns with the number of parking spaces being 23. They realize that the parking lot won't be filled at all times but with 15 employees, it doesn't leave much left. They understand the busing effect, but there is a lot of activity going on to and from the school. He felt it might be appropriate at this time to discuss additional aparking. He talked to one of the Pleasanton Meadows Homeowners who works at a daycare facility in town and who felt the parking was limited in this development. Bill Johnson, President, Fairlands Park Homeowners Association, 3868 Keneland, felt the project would be beneficial to the neighborhood but had concerns with a couple of things, one of which is the small parking lot. He addressed parking problems in the area and did not know where parents of 156 children plus 13-15 employees would park. He said the logical place would be on Brockton. He stated the homeowners will be justified in asking for a sound wall if the traffic increases and the configuration of the street changes. He said it is very noisy. Mike Grazadei, 3955 Churchill, stated he was present at the meeting with Mr. Jordan and Ferreri and felt it was a fruitful one. He asked the developer to address the maximum number of auto trips at any one time based upon the experience of 800 facilities. The proponent responded there are usually 7-8 people parked at any one time other than employees. Mr. Grazadei, stated concerning the Pimlico realignment, they would volunteer their time, because of the traffic generated by McDonalds, to and from Pimlico and Santa Rita Road, to work with staff on the realignment because living out there they have a pretty good idea as to what would work and what would not. Mr Warnick explained that the design concept was reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council some months ago. He stated they are trying to finalize the plans now so a meeting either himself or a member of his staff would be appropriate. Commissioner Doherty had a problem with the flow of traffic moving 150 cars in for 1.5 hours in the morning and two hours at night. He stated this would be an accident waiting to happen. He thinks there should be an entrance and exit and a place where people can swing in and pick up their children without actually parking. Mr. Roquette asked about Condition No. 6 and the recommendation for deletion. Mr. Harris indicated they are now showing a sidewalk on the plan where they didn't before. Commissioner Lindsey then asked Mr. Jordan and Courtier to address the parking situation.
