He also introduced Mr. Kreg Cox, GIS Manager and thanked him for attending this evening.
Mr. Wingerson said that the Commission had asked about both the dance studio signs and the Larry Meyers project and he has not had a chance to check on either one, but will definitely do so for the next meeting.
He added that the presentation made tonight (big screen PowerPoint) is the first of it’s kind to be used in this form. Mr. Cox, Ms. Jarrett and Ms. Behr helped in preparing that presentation and hopefully it was valuable tonight to the Commission.
Item 9 on the
Agenda: Communications from the Planning Commission Members.
Ms. Abbott asked how Larry Meyers got a permit to put all those used cars down on 72nd Street (72nd & Wyandotte) when Mr. Howard was denied to put two up there.
Mr. Wingerson explained that the area Ms. Abbott is speaking of is zoned C-3 and used cars are allowed by right with no permission from the City. Mr. Howard is in office zoning, therefore, permission from the City was required. He also mentioned that the car lot on 72nd Street is not owned by Mr. Meyers any longer.
Ms. Abbott asked if Larry Meyers sign with the flashing lights on N. Oak is permissible. She said it almost blinds you when you turn off of 59th Terrace.
Mr. Wingerson answered that according to the size and location it is allowed. Staff can take another look at it regarding the flashing lights.
Mr. Boor said that he is looking forward to learning new things on the Commission.
Ms. Newsom welcomed the new members.
Ms. Alexander welcomed the new members.
Mr. Whitton welcomed the new members as well.
Mr. Revenaugh welcomed the new members. He also added that he toured Mr. Meyers’ new car facility because he was trying to get a handle on what Ms. Abbott is concerned about. He noticed the sign and checked with the Codes Department and it is legal. As far as the grass on the water retention basin, Mr. Meyers told him that the problem is that the contractor won’t come out and blow the grass seed down there because of the time of year, but he already has someone lined up to do it in the spring. He also went ahead and went to the added expense of purchasing rocks for the N. Oak frontage in place of sod. Mr. Revenaugh said that he did not notice any trash anywhere and that the place looked really clean.
Chairman Hill welcomed the new members. He asked if there was anything for the next Planning Commission agenda.
Mr. Wingerson said that he can’t answer that right now, but that he will get a notice out of there is not a meeting.
Miscellaneous discussion ensued regarding the public hearing this evening.
