Planning & Zoning Director, Barry Brown gave his Staff Report. He advised that The Dollar General was planning to construct a 9,276 sq. ft. store on the site of the former Azteca Restaurant. The Board members reviewed and held discussion regarding: photographs and aerials of the site and setting as well as abutting and adjacent properties; property survey; proposed elevations; proposed landscaping; sidewalk, bike path and driveway location(s); truck delivery movements; demolition of the existing building and parking lot; lighting; dumpster location and screening; a/c location, including noise buffering and screening; proposed building colors; and stormwater retention. Attorney, Kim Rezanka, representative for John, Michelle, and Steven Porter, voiced concern regarding the buffering of undeveloped residentially zoned property owned by the Porter's, located west of this proposed commercial development. She spoke about buffering of a 50 ft. strip of property, which could be utilized as a future access road, located west of the proposed Dollar General property and east of the Porter's property. Barry Brown pointed -out that theDollar General property did not abut the Porter's property and the proposed development of the Dollar General property exceeded the Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 18, 2013 minimum landscaping requirements per Code. The Board viewed photographs of the thick vegetative area west of the property. Discussion followed. Barry Brown explained that if a road was ever built along the 50 ft. strip which abutted the two properties, a landscape buffer would be required along the west property line by that property owner at that time. Discussion continued regarding the 50 ft. strip of property. Motion by Joseph Mathos, seconded by Rosalie Wolf to approve the new Dollar General Store, with the following two conditions: 1) The A/C ground unit shall have a privacy and noise dampering enclosure; and 2) The City's Building Department shall confirm that the colors on the elevations conform to the color codes shown on the application (Sherwin-Williams). Voice vote on the motion carried unanimously. 3. Review & Motion Re: Selection of Summer Beautification Award Winners. Planning & Zoning Director, Barry Brown verified that a "We Noticed" sign was placed on each property nominated for a Beautification Award. He explained that one winner would be selected for each of the following categories: single family, multifamily, and commercial. He noted that at the Board's last meeting it became apparent that selection of award winners would be more easily accomplished if they had selection criteria. The Board members reviewed and discussed criteria preferences used by the Edgewood Park Neighborhood Association, for the basis of creating the Board's own selection criteria, submitted by Board Member, Angela Raymond. Discussion followed. The Board members reviewed photos and discussed each property that was nominated for the Summer Beautification Awards for each of the three categories.

OPEN DISCUSSION Chairperson Wasserman reminded the Board members that when they are questioning applicants to stay focused on items germane to the application and to avoid hearsay.
