The applicant was requesting to amend the previously approved site plan of CU02-45 (Ord.02-81) for an automotive car wash facility, specifically to modify the location of the vacuum bays and landscape buffer located along the western property line and revise the fire lane location. The purpose of this request was to alleviate some vehicle circulation and fire safety issues on both this site and the adjacent site to the west. The applicant purchased the property to the west of the subject site. It was developed prior to 1984 and therefore does not comply with current ordinances. It does not have a drive aisle wide enough to accommodate a fire lane. The car wash site, with the planned curvilinear drive into the car wash facility, could create difficulties for fire equipment to access the site. The applicant was proposing the following changes to alleviate these issues: 1. The drive located on the adjacent site would be widened to 24 -feet to meet the minimum requirements for a fire lane. Approximately five feet of this fire lane would be located on 081903 2 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING AUGUST 19, 2003 the car wash site. 2. The western side of the development on the car wash site, i.e., landscape buffer and vacuum bays, would be moved to the east to accommodate the drive expansion for the adjacent site. 3. The drive located on the car wash site would be utilized as an "entrance only" drive, with no exit allowed. Automobiles would exit the car wash site using the newly widened drive located on the adjacent site. A mutual access easement would be executed for this purpose. In making these changes, fire equipment would have full access to both the car wash site and the adjacent lot, including any future development located at the rear of the adjacent lot, through the use of the newly widened fire lane. Additionally, vehicle circulation would be improved on both the car wash site and the adjacent site. Lanny Wilkinson, the owner, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request.
