Commissioner Doherty asked if anyone had discussed with the Mobil <br />Oil Company that they might have to be relocated. Mr. Warnick <br />stated staff has not talked to them at this point. <br />Mr. Martin stated they had talked to Mr. Hilde, who has purchased <br />the interest in Burger King just recently and that they gave him a <br />copy of a rough plan. <br />Mr. Martin stated the property most affected will be the Mobil station <br />and it is their opinion that they will have to go in and pay for his <br />business as well as his real estate. He stated that even though <br />it is going to be expensive, he feels this is the time it should <br />be done. <br />Commissioner Doherty stated he felt we had a moral obligation at <br />this time to at least give Mobil Oil some indication of what is being <br />thought about. Mr. Martin responded that this was just their opinion <br />and that it is not definite. Mr. Warnick stated that once Council <br />has decided they do want to see this proceed, there are all kinds of <br />formal requirements of appraisals and for them to be able to discuss <br />with appraiser what the project is and the values of their property <br />and for a formal offer to be made for the property. He further <br />stated he would prefer that the Commission not take a particular <br />position on whether the access from the Mobil station has to be taken <br />or not. He stated that would have to be fully justified with traffic <br />engineering background before you could use it in eminent domain, <br />and he does not feel we have that background right now. He stated <br />only conceptual approval should be given. <br />Mr. Martin pointed out the valuable improvements proposed to the <br />Shell station. <br />Tom Terrill, Reynolds and Brown, stated that he felt staff should <br />be given as much flexibility as possible in proceeding with this <br />work. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Getty, seconded by Commissioner Wilson, <br />that the Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed realignment/ <br />traffic circulation plan, and agree with the concept and recommend <br />it to City Council. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE <br />Ayes: Commissioners Doherty, Getty, Jamieson, Wilson and <br />Chairperson Lindsey <br />Noes: None <br />Absent: None <br />Abstain: None <br />Resolution No. 2202 was then entered and adopted recommending <br />approval of realignment of Johnson Drive east of Hopyard Road as <br />motioned. <br />-22- <br /> <br />
