PLANNING OBJECTIVES
It is the objective of Mr. Earl Klingensmith, the owner of Expert Auto Sales,
to operate a used automobile sales business and an automobile service business
in an existing brick building at 1420 North College Avenue. The building in
the immediate past had been vacant however it was originally built and used
as a service station. Therefore historically it has been an auto —related
commercial us-e. The site is zoned H—B, Highway Business which requires a planned
unit development for auto related businesses.
The site and landscape plan provide for a visual enhancement of the property
with the use of extensive plantings. The landscaping will greatly improve the
street scape of North College Avenue and will also control the ingress and egress
of the site by providing a single curb cut. The existing site does not limit
the entrance to one location. • The landscaping will define the display areas.
for used automobiles and will also screen the adjacent properties. It is also
important.to not completely screen the sal.es area from the street and negatively
impact the use of the site as a sales lot but at the same time provide a.green
area that softens the hard surfaced sales area.
An area for a future driveway to access the restaurant site on the North has
been provided. This will provide flexibility for any future revisions to access
the ..site. Ingress and egress..to and from the.existing alley is also provided
to reduce the turning movements to and from North College Avenue. An -area on
the East side of the building is provided for parking of automobiles that are
waiting service.
Theupgrading of the site will be compatible with other businesses on North
College Avenue that have provided landscaping and will also provide a use for
a vacant property.
