Jim Verney, owner of Vail Imports stated that he has operated in the
Edwards Business Center
for the past 7 years with 8 parking spaces. He
explained that a disabled vehicle that sits costs him money and parts
are ordered as quickly as possible.
Warren stated that the owner of Lot 32 tried to develop as much parking
as was feasible without getting into a ].at of earth moving and
retaining walls.
Cuny had concerns of cars being parked on the lot for any length of
time because the lot is on a corner intersection and had concerns of
how screening would be achieved.
Verhey stated that if a car were coming in for body work, he would
agree that screening would be necessary, but with mechanical work,
there is no visible detection of what the car is there for.
Cuny felt there was a distinction between a parking space and parking a
car that does not run.
Verhey felt that the visual impact would be the same.
Reynolds asked if the 6 yard dumpster would be adequate.
Verhey stated that it is the same size as the Edwards location
dumpster, which is emptied twice a week: for the 3 building complex..
Warren stated she had spoken with local trash carriers and they felt
the dumpster was adequate in size. If it were to become a problem,
they could do a daily pick-up.
Discussion followed.
Maddox, asked if parking lot lighting was provided.
Warren stated they propose to remove the existing pale light and
relocate it. There is adequate light from the building itself for the
front area parking. She then explained proposed lighting from plans
submitted.
Wood stated that a more detailed plan should come through far design
review regarding site lighting, parking lot construction, changes in
building elevation and lighting for entrances,

I-70.
