Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of March 3, 2016 continued: <br /> Mr. Frantz asked if any of the mature trees would remain. Mrs. Cave said there are three (3) trees <br /> that would remain. <br /> Mr. Kent Newton asked if the restaurant was sized to allow for the correct number of parking <br /> spaces. Mr. Cochran said that was correct. A larger restaurant would not be allowed as there would <br /> not be enough spaces for parking. <br /> Mr. Cochran stated properties within a 300 foot radius were informed of a meeting that was held on <br /> Tuesday, February 9, 2016. The plans were available for viewing at that meeting. There were <br /> approximately fifteen (15) to twenty (20) people present. <br /> Mr. Frantz asked if the restaurant was going to have late hours. Mr. Cochran said he did not see this <br /> location being anything with late night activity. They do not expect to have a sit down restaurant. <br /> Ms. Mary Kay Sheff-Reynolds was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. <br /> Ms. Sheff-Reynolds said she lives just north of the proposed development. She stated that the <br /> residents who live on Greenridge ar Diane did not receive a letter concerning the open house <br /> meeting. Ms. Sheff-Reynolds has a petition with over 120 signatures opposing a restaurant and <br /> retail store. The neighbors do not oppose a medical building but do not feel a restaurant or retail <br /> store are a good fit for a residential neighborhood. She feels the additional traffic will be a problem. <br /> Ms. Lori Johnson was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. <br /> Ms. Johnson has lived on Fair Oaks Drive for over thirty (30) years and she feels the restaurant and <br /> retail store will have ramifications. She does not want anything with late hours in the <br /> neighborhood. This neighborhood has a lot of elderly people in it. She is concerned the restaurant <br /> will end up larger, a bar would come in or a gambling establishment. This would mean late hours <br /> and more traffic for a quiet neighborhood. This development will not be neighborhood friendly <br /> unless sidewalks are put in. There are already a lot of accidents at this intersection and the <br /> increased traffic will create more. <br /> Ms. Trisha Summers, 1 Greenridge Drive, stated she is concerned about the possibility of a video <br /> gaming establishing coming into the residential area. <br /> Acting Chairman Newton stated there was a letter received from a Mr. Keith Wade that will be <br /> included in the minutes. <br /> Mr. Mike Sotiroff asked if a gambling establishment could come into this proposed development. <br /> Ms. Stickle stated the only uses that are allowed are professional office, medical office, retail and <br /> restaurant. A video gaming parlor would not be allowed; however, video gaming machines could <br /> go into a restaurant if it were able to obtain a liquor license. <br /> It was moved and seconded (Myatt/Harris) to forward Calendar No. 16-03 to the City Council with <br /> a recommendation for approval. Motion carried unanimously. <br />
