Mr. Warden presented the proposed layout and location of the
existing building. He stated that the present entrance
served his showroom as well as an access to the parts dock
located on the west side of the building.
A general discussion followed involving several of the
Commissioners, applicant and Planning Staff concerning
whether the curb cut should be closed or needs to remain
open. It was also suggested to the applicant that he may
close a part of the 120 foot wide entrance and leave two 40
