Chairman Millard placed Mr. Holahan under oath. The secretary noted that all abutting property owners were notified by Certified Return Receipt Mail, the property was posted and it was advertised in the paper. The secretary gave a brief history of this case on the action of the Planning Commission. Mr. Wetzel expressed a concern for pedestrian traffic along the edge of this property. There was a discussion as to whether a sidewalk should be provided. Mr. Holahan noted that this project would be an improvement to this area, and each unit will be sold as condominiums. Mr. Millard commented that when the Zoning Ordinance was passed it gave alot of responsibility to the Board of Adjustment, and at that time there was not a Planning or Zoning Board. Now that we h~ve the Planning Commission, the Planning Department and the Comprehensive Plan, the Board of Adjustment is not required to go into as much detail as they used to, such as buffers, parking and sewers. As long as the Board of Adjustment is provided with the sketch plan and the Department Head Review, and there has been a review by the Planning Commission, the Board can rely on their recommendations. Any action taken by the Board is based on the information provided by these people and we assume that the reports are correct. Any time anyone feels that we are not being backed up by these people, appropriate action can be taken. There was concern by the Board that a buffer be lliuilt between the road and parking area to prevent improper ingress and egress of vehicles. There was a discussion on water retention which does not seem to be a problem. The Board unanimously agreed to approve the special exception noting that a buffer be built along Park Ave. to prevent random in and out traffic from the project to the road. If there are any major changes from plans or statements the Board reserves the right to re-examine their approval. Chairman Millard called the regular meeting to order at 8:00 PM.
