-- Grimes' participation in community service organizations. Mr. Ferreri expressed his belief that <br /> it will be many years before there is a demand for retail at this location on Spring Street. He <br /> urged Council to support the Downtown Association and Planning Commission decisions <br /> concerning this application. <br /> <br /> Robert Grimes, 962 Concord Street; Joseph D. Mendez, 218 Ray Street; and Jim Thorpe, <br /> 5776 Stoneridge Mall Road; all spoke in support of Mr. Grimes and the proposed use. <br /> <br /> There being no further testimony, the public heating was closed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mottr stated her understanding of Ms. Scribner's concerns, especially with the <br /> example of Interstate Nuclear Laundry. Ms. Mohr stated her concern that in the event Mr. <br /> Grimes sold the property and the new owner did not comply with the conditions, that some <br /> mechanism be in place to allow a change in the allowed use. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush clarified the required actions to be taken and explained the amortization <br /> procedures. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr also raised the question of increased activity beyond the current use. Mr. <br /> Iserson indicated the conditions provide that if activity increases, the use will be referred to <br /> Council for review. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scfibner indicated that based on the testimony, Mr. Grimes is well regarded in the <br /> community. She has no objection to young people opening new businesses, this is just the <br /> wrong location for this business in her opinion. She was concerned about truck traffic in the <br /> revitalized downtown. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Scfibner to approve the staff recommendation but that the use be <br /> reviewed every five years and if found to be incompatible, that it be required to cease, with a <br /> minimum of two years be given to relocate the business. <br /> <br /> The motion died for lack of a second. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Ms. Mohr, to adopt Resolution No. 94-88, <br /> denying the appeal, thereby upholding the Planning Commission approval of the application, <br /> subject to the conditions of approval as listed in Exhibit B and mending Condition No. 30 as <br /> requested. <br /> <br /> The r011 ¢~ll vote was as follows: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers - Molar, Pico, and Mayor Tarvet <br /> NOES: Councilmember Scribner <br /> ABSENT: Councilmember Dennis <br />-- ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> 08/02/94 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
