Information should be submitted on the existing square footage and number of parking spaces. D. Staff Recommendation Reserved until further information is received. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The issue was identified as one of traffic and public safety within the shopping center; due to several areas of cross -flow with not delineations of where to go. This was considered hazardous because of the expanding amount of fast food restaurants around the perimeter. One Committee member mentioned that a previous recommendation by staff for such controls within the shopping center was not supported by the Commission due to an understanding that there would probably not be any further expansions. The applicant was asked to provide staff with the information regarding the existing square footage and parking, and to meet with the Traffic Engineer before the Public Hearing. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. He reported that a revised plan was submitted to Engineering addressing staff concerns regarding internal traffic circulation problems. He was asked to furnish three copies for the Planning staff file. A motion for approval was made and passed, subject to Don McChesney's signature on the revised site plan. The vote: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
