Ms. Yelena Fiester, applicant, spoke about the closeness of the new cooler addition and the parking
spaces. If wheel stops were installed instead of bollards longer trucks could potentially back into the
space and reach the wall of the new addition.
Commissioner Cox asked if there were to be issues with those four spaces and vehicles encroaching
onto the fire lane could they be removed or is the development under parked.
Staff responded that the development is over parked. The development is required to have sixty-four
parking spaces and is providing one hundred fifty-one parking spaces, those spaces could be
eliminated and the development would still be over parked.
Commissioner Cox made a motion to approve item 3.1, seconded by Commissioner
Hulkowich. The motion carried (7-0).
