I have a warehouse of 68.000 square feet, they have
2 units that range up to 120,000 square feel, and
3 he says and we actually have one unit that is 140
4 to 145,000 square feet and that is their current
5 footprint that they are developing for a market
6 such as Parkland.
7 I dOD't know, somebody needs to just
8 Dod their head and say that is accurate, because
9 Mr. Hopley had a couple of other iDCOnsis1eot
10 statements that were refuted by the senior
I I vice-president.
12 MR. HUEBNER: 1be heariDg has been
13 closed to any discussion.. I don't thiDlc the~
14 should be any more testimony.
15 COMMISSIONER. GORDON: Le: me just
16 state that we had taDced about perhaps modifying
17 the site plan. md they are saying thr.y can't, or
18 they are unwilliDg or they don't want to.
19 But here I am loolcing at this and they
20 are saying their biggest operation that they only
21 have one other of what they designed for this
22 site. Maybe a smaller site or shop Vlould be more
23 appropriate on this site and moving it around and
24 redesigning the site plan.
25 I also have my other concerns about
Parkland Plaza
.
Page 5 1.5 ;
I honest, I didn't see that the applicant
2 adequately answered most of those concerns,
3 Whether we have a permined use here,
4 Are we putting a warehouse on this site? Is this
s a wholesaler? The compatibility issues with the
6 residential area that is adjacent to it. The out
7 parcels, are they a strip shopping center?
8 The location of the loading areas.
9 1be location of the tire center. The location of
10 the truck access. TIle architectural design. The
11 nonexistent buffer. The minimal landscaping that
12 really isn't par1clilce like.
13 The elegmt classic country that
14 doesn't exist. TIle inconsistency with our
IS comprehensive plan. We have no overall plan here
16 for the development of this site. The location
17 of that building next to the residential area.
18 1be noise concerns. A couple of
19 additional items, the unwillingness of this
20 applicant to meet with our Community AppearaDce
21 Board when they offered their assistance in
22 helping to design this site,
23 And whether they have been
24 misrepresenting, what they are and who they are to
25 us or to the SEC. With that J would like to make

I the drainage issues that are still outstanding, 1 a motion to deny Resolution 98-41. ~~
2 the lighting issues that are still outstanding, 2 MAYOR PAGLIARA: Is there a secoDd to
3 that we still have the issues that have been 3 the motion?
4 brought up by stMf as to the accountability, our 4 COMMISSIONER PUGLIESE: Seconded for
S comprehensive plan, etcetera, and I !mow that 5 discussion.
6 each ODe of you are going to speale on those 6 MAYOR PAGLlARA: A motion made by
7 items. J just waDted to mention a CC1uple of 7 Commissioner Weissman, seconded by Commissioner
8 those things. Go ahead. 8 Pugliese for discussion. Is there any discussion
9 MAYOR PAGLIARA: Commissioner 9 on it? Commissioner Marks.
10 Weissman. 10 COMMISSIONER MAR.KS: 1 agree with most
11 COMMISSIONER WEISSMAN: First I want 11 of what Mr. Weissman, if not all of what
12 to thank the public that is still here. We have 12 Mr. Weissman, said tonight as far as my
13 been through a very long process, because tonight 13 concerns. 'The one thing I do want to poiIlt out
14 is only one of five maybe that they have at1ended 14 tonight is about other entities, such as Home
15 on this matter. And I would also 1il:.e to thanlc IS Depot, Sam's Club, Costco, Office ,Depot, but I
16 the applicant for being patient with us tonight 16 have Dot heard of any of those public entities
17 Before I make a motion - 17 that fIled a statement with the SEe saying we
18 MAYOR PAGLlARA: A motioD? We have 18 were wholesale and we are a warehouse, So 1
19 not finished. 19 think: it is not applicable to consider that
20 COMMISSIONER WEISSMAN: We can discuss 20 situation.
21 after I put a motion on the floor, I want to 21 1 don't see the compatibility. It is
22 preface my remarks by saying I am torn on this 22 not there. I am looking at their statements that
23 issue. T am tom bec.'luse I have a number of 23 say.they are wholesale, that say they are
24 compelling arguments to make this motion, most of 24 warehouse. It is in the SEC statements, it is in
25 them based on Mr, Lunney's testimooy, ADd to be 2S the statements of their annual repon. And even

19 TIle Community Appearance Board said 19 MR. HALL: No.
20 the site does not reflect the theme of the 20 MR. MRACHBK: I agree. And on behalf
21 community development, which is elegant classic 21 of the applicant and Don and myself I would 1ilce
22 country. In my opinion it is more of a nineties 22 to thanlc you and everybody here for the time
23 Mediterranean look. 23 extcIlded to us.
24 It is not consiS1eDt with policy 1.1.2 24 MAYOR PAGLlARA: ljust didn't want to
25 which says consistency and compatibility does not ' 25 be tabling this and come back.
Page 518
I meet ~ $tandards. Policy 1.3.3, cohesive
2 fonn. nus appears to be a pieoemeal
3 development.
4' We were looking for a master plan. I
5 know over the years we have talked about master
6 planning all of our developments whenever
7 possible, and I know that that is something that
8 was consistent through the years.
9 1bis development in my opin ion will
10 Dot enhance the quality of life, nor promote the
11 safety and welfare of our citi2ens, and it
12 ignores the semi-rura11iIestyle. And I also
13 feel that there is extreme intensity from the
14 truck traffic and the people that will be
IS servicing the center.
16 I envisioned more of a village
17 atmosphere at our front door, and I was hoping
18 that the developer would kind of get in
19 conformance with that. But I am very
20 disappointed in what I see, and I can't in good
21 faith vote for this.
22 MAYOR PAGLlARA: AJJ.yother
23 discussion? Roll call.
24 MS. ARMSTRONG: Commissioner Gordon.
25 COMMISSIONER GORDON: Yes.
