removed herself from the room. Chairman Sager opened a public
hearing to consider the Amended Development Plan to Special
Review #91-5. The Planning Commission and Board of Trustees
approved Special Review #91—5 and the Development Plan on
August 20 and August 21, 1991, respectively. Further
investigation by the Applicant has led to the conclusion that
it is more economical to remove the existing structure
(intact) and construct a new building. Major site changes
include the movement of the pedestrian access to the property
from the sidewalk to the western property line, and three
large evergreen trees in front of the building will be removed
as a result of moving the existing structure. Applicant's
representative, Paul Kochevar, reported that as a result of
the structure being removed, the parking area will be raised
2-3' so that the parking stall slope is less steep. One (1)
handicapped parking space will be provided at the rear of the
building. Due to removal of the trees and alteration of the
retaining wall, staff is recommending the existing retaining
wall be removed and replaced to the north (approximately 32')
to allow for an 8'-wide sidewalk which will continue sidewalk
transition from the First National Bank property. In
addition, due to the loss of the trees, the area wi3^ be re
landscaped. Administrator Klaphake reiterated that if the
trees remain in place, changes to the sidewalk and retaining
wall will not be required. However, if the trees are removed,
the Applicant must conform to current regulations and install
an 8' sidewalk. Those persons speaking in favor of
proposal: Minno Riz/Applicant—the sidewalk

installation; any tree that is renoved will be rePla«d. the
existincf trees (1) obstruct visibility, and ^ W1fr

opening is anticipated. Frank Hixproperty owner—due to the
historical significance of the existing structure, he will
move it; based upon experts in the field, the existing trees
have outlived their usefulness; the First National Bank h
