Mr. Anderson gave the staff report, recommending to the Commission to disapprove the site plan based on the fact that the e- ventual future widening of both East Washington and Payran Streets would interfere with the proposed development, Mr. Anderson, Assistant Planning Director, stated that even with the existing streets, the site plan was unsatisfactory and did not provide adequate of:f- street. parking. Mr. McGivern commented that two other new businesses to be located nearby, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the proposed Taco Bell Restaurant, were prepared to set their businesses back to conform with plans for future street widening. Mr. .Tom Gaffey and Mr. Herb West were present on, behalf of the application.
