JUN 13 1989 BOOK 77 38 noted that he is sensitive to encroachment of any type on single family neighborhoods. Commissioner Bird commented that he personally is very sensi- tive to encroaching on people's rights to use their property. In further discussion, Planner Boling clarified that staff wants to break out the "quick -change" facilities but also still require the 100' separation distance. P&Z's recommendation is to delete the 100' separation and just have what is required in the general zoning district, which, if it abuts a single family district, is 25' and a wall. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Attorney Michael O'Haire came before the Board representing Mr. Hedin. He pointed out that this comes to the Board with the unanimous vote of the P&Z Commission for removal of the 100' separation. He emphasized that no 100' separation is required for automotive fuel sales where you are dealing with an extremely volatile substance, and also this site could be used for a convenience store without the 100' separation, and that is a much more intense use. Mr. O'Haire noted that this is a single purpose facility; all they do is drain the oil, put in the new oil, and screw the plug back in. The oil doesn't even gurgle because this is done with hoses. They would be happy to meet the requirement for the 25' separation and build a wall. Commissioner Eggert debated whether this is always a non - noise situation because sometimes the workers yell to each other and throw the cans around. Attorney O'Haire felt that is simply a matter of controlling one's employees. The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard and thereupon closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board by a 3 to 2 vote, 38
