Commissioner Wodtke asked if there is marginal access on the <br />east side of U.S. #1, and Ms. Craver stated he was not required <br />to do that because he has frontage on the two local roads. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt the biggest loss would be the use <br />of the property and the ability to meet the other requirements <br />for parking, etc. <br />Chairman Lyons and Commissioner Scurlock asked if this was <br />any different than other requests we have heard for access onto <br />U.S. #1, and Director Keating explained that on U.S. #1 South, <br />there have been a couple of situations where existing <br />improvements were required to be dedicated. In those cases staff <br />recommended that the part of the land that currently was not <br />covered by any improvements be dedicated and the other parts <br />reserved, which means that while those existing improvements <br />would remain there under the individual's ownership, no improve- <br />ments could be made which would increase the cost or the <br />assessment for when the County has to come in and purchase it at <br />some time in the future. He did not believe the County wants to <br />own part of a building, and that is the difference between those <br />cases and here. <br />Chairman Lyons opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard in this matter. <br />David Albrecht, Attorney representing applicant Marvin <br />Penalba, explained that his client is here today with architect, <br />Tom Culler. Attorney Albrecht explained that Mr. Penalba bought <br />the subject property years ago specifically because of the U.S. <br />#1 curb cut. It is presently a retail store for M & M Auto <br />Parts, and Mr. Penalba intends to put in additional retail space <br />and office space. If the curb cut is removed, he would be losing <br />some of the identity and value of the property in addition to <br />parking space. Their engineer has computed the loss of two <br />spaces which figures out to $100,000 of value over a 20 -year <br />life. He felt that the ordinance should give some consideration <br />to existing cuts. Attorney Albrecht circulated photographs <br />31 <br />DEC 1 19855 BOOK PAGE <br />
