(2) Request modification to parking to provide standard dead-end parking. arlar-vcrc. Staff is not supportive of this request because of several reasons. Foremost is the consideration that several issues from the original submission of the development have never been resolved, due to the applicant's receiving a building permit before the final plat was filed. Therefore, no final plat has ever been filed,of record with the proper dedication requirement on Boyle Park Road and of utility easements. Staff is not particularly supportive of the location of the four-plex. Westpark Drive was originally proposed to connect where the abutting property to the west is. Instead, a warehouse has been constructed, which is immediately opposite the proposed building, but will be separated by a 6' wood fence and 4' wide landscaped strip. Since there is a major water main to the warehouse on the property, staff feels that the proposed location will interfere with fire protection to the warehouse. Based on these reasons, staff feels that approval of the site plan is not warranted. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Denial as filed. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The applicant was present. A revised parking plan=was shown to the Committee. The general concensus was that ample room for parking was provided. It was decided to pass this to the Commission without a recommendation, subject to: i April 12, 1983 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 6 - Continued (1) Approval of the Fire Department; and (2) The submission of a final plat dedicating the appropriate right-of-way and easements, which should have been dedicated previously. ! PLANNING COMMSSION ACTION: There were no objectors present. The application was represented by Mr. Bill Horvath and Mr. Robert J. Bailey, the architect. They made a brief presentation on their application. The Planning Commission discussed the matter at length as to the appropriate means of dealing with Items 1 and 2 identified under the Committee Recommendation. A motion was made to approve the site plan for the construction of the additional four units subject to the applicant's submission of a final plat dedicating the appropriate right-of-way and easements for Boyle Park Road and the recording of that plat on the County record prior to the issuance of building permits. The vote - 10 ayes, 0 nays.
