RE: Proposal #47-90 CAMPUS WEST TEXACO
Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Board,
Steve Olt, City Planner, has provided our Association with a
blueprint of the Final Site Plan for the proposed CAMPUS WEST
TEXACO EXPANSION. We understand this proposal will be processed
as an expansion of a legal Non -Conforming Use and will be
presented to the Planning and Zoning Board on December 17, 1990.
These plans have been reviewed by our Project Review Committee
and by the members of our Board at a recent meeting. In addition
we have talked with property owners in the immediate vicinity.
To date no opposition has been expressed to the proposed
expansion.
Several of our initial concerns are adequately addressed in the
Final Plans. For example, the maintenance of a designated fire
lane around the building coupled with clearly marked parking
spaces on the new asphalt will encourage more orderly parking
than now exists on the site. In addition the proposed curb and
landscaping on the west side of the lot will prevent further
trespass on the John XXIII parking lot as is now occurring.
The Prospect/Shields Neighborhood Association appreciates the
early notification of this proposal and the opportunity to have
input into the planning process. As a matter of principle we
prefer intensification in use and infill in already established
business and commercial areas rather than further expansion of
business; activities into established residential areas.
Please contact us if we can be of further service to you.
Sincerel ,
