Mr. Jim Daly and Mr. Brad Walker were present representing the proposal. They offered their comment on the staff recommendation which was an objection to losing access for double loaded type auto uses. Mr. Walker offered to build a fence to screen the rear area of the buldings in lieu of the doors. A general discussion then followed. The Chairman then asked for objectors. There were four in attendance. Mr. George Bowman, of Ashwood Road, discussed the excavation; the unsightly developments along Markham rearing on his neighborhood. The loss of trees to the City flood and drainage project. Mr. Jeff Hoyt addressed his concerns as being sound from this type of use. He offered additional history. Mrs. Agness Beale, an Ashwood resident, offered her concerns and a history of this area. Mr. Robert Brown and Mr. Charles Basham were present representing the property owner to the west. This property was proposed for development and Mr. Brown stated their interest as being in need of cooperation on development of the common access drive on the west boundary of this proposal, plus building orientation and landscaping. A lengthy general discussion followed revolving around fences and height, number of rear garage doors, and use mix. A motion was then made to approve the application which motion included an 8-foot fence along the south property line limiting the uses to the by -right and conditional use in "C-3" except for auto repair garage, the hours of operation to be limited to 7 a.m. through 7 p.m., and the garage doors on the rear of the building be limited to eight. The motion failed by a vote of 4 ayes, 4 noes, and 3 absent. The failure of the motion automatically defers this matter to the next scheduled meeting, August 11, 1987.
