RESOLUTIONS
RESOLUTION 106,1989 Richard Walton, Director of Planning and Zoning, addressed the City
Council regarding Resolution 106, 1989, stating this shopping center pro-
ject was approved initially through the site plan process, had been
expanded through the years, and this is the last phase to be built. This
phase was approved for a 4,000 square foot building. Firestone is pro-
posing a 6,000 square foot bulding.
Councilman Kiselewski wanted an understanding that they could grant the
conditional use, but the Petitioner would have to come hack and go through

the process because it is a modification of a piece of property over 3
acres.
Attorney Brant stated that the issue before the Council was a conditional
use on this particular site. The next step would be under normal proce-
dure for the Petitioner to go to the Site Plan Review Division of the
Planninq and Zoning Commission. Since it does exceed 3 acres the peti-
tioner would come before the City Council for final approval.
Councilman Kiselewski stated that while he does not object to the con-
ditional use, it does not necessarily mean he agrees with the whole pro-
ject. Councilman Kiselewski questioned whether we were over the total
square footage allowed for this site, and requested City staff review what
has been approved.
Kieran Kilday, authorized agent for Firestone Mastercare Car Service
Facility, addressed the City Council stating his understanding was the
initial pro -ess was for them to come through with a conditional use, then
come back through for site plan approval. Mr. Kilday stated that when
they went before the Planning and Zoning Commission, they discussed the
overall center, overall parking, landscaping of the entire center and
51gnage. At that meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission suggested
specific conditions for the approval. His understanding was he would come
before the Council and discuss use, and then go back for final situ plan
approval before the Site Plan and Appearance Review. His understanding
now is that they go back to site plan approval, get recommendations and
then come back to the City Council.
Mayor Martino stated that Mr. Kilday is correct with one exception, they
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING, 1/11/90 PAGE 5
could have cuiotinued through the site plan process had they remained
inside the 4,000 square foot allotment, however they are proposing in
excess of 4,000 square feet and therefore must have their site
reviewed in conjunction with the total site. Mayor Martino stated that
if Firestone wanted to scale down their building to 4,000 square feet or
less they only have to go back to site plan and they only look at the out
parcel; however, if they stay at the 6,000 square feet, the whole site
will be reviewed.
Mr. Kilday stated he would like to get the conditional use approval,
taking references to the site out of the resolution; meanwhile the owner
and tenant will get together to decide if they are going to proceed to the
next step. Mr. Kilday requested that Condition "L" stay on the Resolution
1+
and the following is added to the end of the condition: oil changing,
lubrication and oil changes.
The City Attorney was directed to redraft Resolution 106, 1989, removing
references to the site, to approve a conditional use only. The City
Council will consider Resolution 106, 1989, at a future Regular Meeting,
RESOLUTION 5, 1990
Richard Walton, Director of Planning and Zoning, addressed the City
Council regarding the removal of chairs from the ingress /egress of the
Admiralty 1I parking garage, as contained in Ordinance 15, 1987.
Attorney Steve Mathison, authorized agent for Vincent Pappalardo,
addressed the City Council asking for approval of the resolution to remove
the chains from the south side of the Admiralty II parking garage.
Attorney Mathison stated removal of the chains would provide a more con-
venient access to the clients of the project and would in fact serve to
40
provide more efficient disbursement of traffic for the project at peak

hours. Attorney Mathison asked the City Council for their support and
also their input as to any &dditional information or documentation they
may require in order to honor their request.
Mayor Martino, Vice Mayor Aldred, and Councilman Russo saw no problem with
the removal of the chains.
Councilwoman Monore stated that she had a problem with the removal because
of the access through a residential neighborhood, stating this was a
condition placed in the Ordinance at the public hearing.
Attorney Mathinson stated the Ordinance requires the chains be placed at
the access points until such time as the City Council directs, by resolu-
tion, that they be removed. There would be no public hearing.
Vincent Pappalardo, developer, stated that it was at the direction of the
Council that they put in the roadway connecting Admiralty lI to Tanglewood
between the parking garage existing at the time and the new narking
garage, which has just been finished. Mr. Pappalardo stated that the
traffic Would be disbursed if the ingress /egress could be opened.
After discussing the possibility of revising Resolution 5, 1990, to
Include a clause allowing the Council to reinstate the condition to
reinstall the chains at access points, Attorney Mathison stated they would
draft the Resolution both ways for the City Council's consideration at the
Regular Meeting of 1/10/90.

Council regarding the approval of the main sign, temporary main sign, per-
manent sign for sales center and a temporary sign for the sales center at
the JOM PCD.
Councilman Kiselawski requested that language be put in the resolution

This Resolution will be considered for approval at the Regular Meeting of
the City Council on 1/18/90.
RESOLUTION 7, 1990 Richard Walton, Director of Planning and Zoning, addressed the City
Council regarding an additional sign for the new Baron's Signature
Restaurant, proposed to be located within the Admiralty Il PUD.
Attorney Mathison addressed the City Council stating that all signage and
landscape plans for the project must come back to the City Council for
review by subsequent resolutions. The basic signage -nd landscape plans
were approved by the City Council by virtue of Resolution 61, 1988.
Subsequently, the City Council approved an amendment for the Admiralty
sign on the main entrance of the building, ,ate last year. Att_orrey
Mathison stated that they are asking for approval of 5ignage of Baron's
Sigature Restaurant to be located in the atrium of the project, in accor-
dance with the approved PUD. Attorney Mathison stated that Jack Hanson
