Architect, Lou Bishop, was present. Commission's concerns were the lack of sidewalk in front of the building. Applicant felt that the structure would house a number of industrial users and not one large industrial building. Therefore, he felt the walkway would not be necessary as clients would not be going from one building to another. Steve Smith added that the driveway in the rear of the building was only 20' wide, and the code states that it needs to be 24' wide. Applicant stated that he could move the retaining wall back 4' if needed for the 24' driveway. Commission felt that some landscaping should be added at the entry to soften the building. It was moved by Commissioner Holden, seconded by Chairman Gregory to approve the plans with the conditions the driveway in the rear of the building be extended to 24' and consideration be made to increase the landscaping in front of the building for screenage. Commissioner Sullivan opposed. Carried 3-1. 3. CASE NO.: 349C APPLICANT (AMID ADDRESS): SHELL OIL CO., P.O.
