use of the business. He stated that if the business wanted to change, that would need to come <br /> back before the Council as a request. <br /> Ms. Abendroth asked the type of barrier that would be between the building and the homes, <br /> whether there would be landscaping or just the back of the buildings. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the setback would be from the property <br /> line to the back of the building and noted that there could be landscaped buffering required <br /> between the structure and residential properties. <br /> Ms. Abendroth asked if anything would change if the ownership changed. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the zoning would not allow for changes <br /> and would only allow for the uses specified within the zoning district. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that this action would simply clarify the business that already <br /> exists and ensure that the zoning is more appropriate. She stated that at this time there are not <br /> any future plans for changes to the property or businesses and this simply changes the zoning to <br /> what it should have been for the allowed use. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that to be true. <br /> Councilmember Shryock reviewed the permitted uses in the proposed zoning district, noting that <br /> all of those uses have existed on the site previously. She stated that if anything else wanted to <br /> come to that site, the Council would have the ability to deny the request. <br /> Elaine (last name/address not audible), stated that she would be opposed to allowing liquor at <br /> this location. She stated that Nowthen Boulevard is a very busy road with high speed traffic and <br /> a lack of sidewalks. She stated that she and her husband have called the police for additional <br /> enforcement and a patrol will come out for a few days but once they leave, the high speeds <br /> resume. She noted that there have been accidents and safety concerns on the roadway and she <br /> would be concerned with adding alcohol service to the mix. She was concerned with traffic and <br /> pedestrian safety. She asked the Council not to allow a business to serve alcohol at this location. <br /> She did not believe that trees provide adequate screening and believed that additional measures <br /> would be needed to provide appropriate screening. She stated that she does not mind the small <br /> businesses in that location but would not support a nighttime business or a business that serves <br /> alcohol. <br /> Acting Mayor LeTourneau asked if the resident believes that the businesses in the location <br /> contribute to the traffic and problems that she cited in her comments. <br /> Elaine replied that the issues that have occurred thus far have not caused the issues with traffic or <br /> alcohol in the area, but she believes that serving alcohol in that location would amplify those <br /> issues. <br /> City Council/August 28,2018 <br /> Page 7 of 23 <br />
