He alst advised that the new lease requires the enclosul of the trash area and new blacktopping of the parking area. Mr. Ray advised that condition No. 10 relative to combining the two lots could not be met because the other property owner, Bi' Welter, has refused to buy, sell, or enter into any joint ownership, and felt that the intent o' the ordinance had been met because of a long -tei lease which goes beyond the year 2,000.

He further commented on the proposed wall between his pro- perty and the proposed parking lot and felt tha- it should be higher in order to provide privacy • for his tenants. Planning Commission discussed increasing the height of the wall within the setback area as wl as an increase in the overall height in order ti provide more privacy and liveability on the adjacent property.

Commissioner Hummel advised he had not observed one instance where a residential lot adjacent t commercial property and used for parking had no done damage to the value of the residential pro perty adjacent to the parking and progressively down the block. He felt that if it was the intent to provide parking on property adjacent to commercial uses, they would have been zoned that way and that construction of a wall betwee the two uses was a nuisance no matter how high. Also, he could not see why the parking lot shou be allowed a curb cut on the residential street where it would not be granted for a residential use because the property abutted an alley.
