Staff presented the plan and issues developed in review. Public Works offered its requirements. The staff indicted that the application presented no serious issues and that contact with Mr. Alan Beasley would be made, and the Thursday deadline applied to respond to committee write-up. (Staff called Mr. Beasley on Friday the 10`h and he said he would follow-up as required.) PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 30, 1997) The Chairman asked that staff present its recommendation. Richard Wood, of the Staff, offered a brief overview of the project stating that it was an expansion proposal of a previously approved planned development. This would add additional warehouse space at 70% of the new building and 30% of the new building being office. Wood pointed out that the triggering activity which brought this issue to the Commission was a request for a building permit for the first phase. This phase covered a larger footprint than was authorized. The applicant is before the Commission to gain approval for this expansion as well as presenting his phase 2 development. Following this information, Wood pointed out that the applicant had submitted the proof of notice Wednesday of the meeting week which is later than that required by the bylaws. A separate vote would be required to waive that late submittal if the Commission desired to do so. Chairman Lichty asked staff if that was what staff intends by keeping this item on the regular agenda. Wood responded this was only reason it was retained on the regular agenda. The Chairman then recognized Mr. Allen Beasley. Mr. Beasley came forward and stated he was here for the application. The Chairman asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak on this matter.
