STAFF REPORT
REVISED PLANS Globe Plastics
INTRODUCTION:
A revised site plan and elevations have been submitted by Thomas A. Sconzo, Archi-
tects, for a proposed addition to the Globe Plastics Company at 290 Andover Park
East, on the northeast corner at Strander Boulevard. An earlier proposal was denied
by the Planning Commission at the meeting of 28 June 1979 based on the inadequacy of
parking and on -site truck maneuvering as required by the Tukwila Municipal Code.
REVIEW:
The new proposal consists of an additional 5,483 sq. ft. of warehouse space along
the existing west wall of the building, with three 10' by 10' dock high truck doors .
at the northwest end of the warehouse addition. The building is to be of smooth
and rough formed concrete panels with plywood fascia along the roof line. Colors
have not been specified.
Parking will be in two areas, one at the south end of the site, off Strander Boule-
vard, the other along the west building face. A total of 36 parking stalls are
provided, meeting the 36 spaces required by the Tukwila Municipal Code; each stall
is 20 feet long by 9 feet wide.
The existing curb cut at the northwest corner of the site will be widened to forty
feet to allow for access by large trucks. Parking near the loading area has been
limited to two spaces directly north of the truck doors; a smaller curb cut is pro-
posed to provide access to the fourteen stalls to the west of the building.
The truck loading space is forty -five feet wide and 66 feet long from the wall face
to the inside edge of the curb island on Andover Park East. These dimensions satisfy
the TMC requirements for on site loading space (18.56.210).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed addition for the Globe Plastics Company
subject to the following conditions:
1. Relo on of the two most northerl ng stalls to remove passenger
vehicles truck loading a subject to staff approval.
2. Southern curb cut ••ver Park East limited to 24 feet.
3. All t o-way driveways to be 24' '•e.

RE: Globe Plastics Development Plans
Dear Mr. Sconzo:
The Tukwila Planning Commission considered the above referenced project
at their regular June meeting, 28 June 1979. Please be informed the Com-
mission denied the proposed expansion plans for Globe Plastics, Inc. based
upon the inadequate parking and on -site truck maneuvering space which would
result.
The decision of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council.
Should you decide to pursue this alternative, a letter of appeal should be
filed with the City Council within 30 days of Planning Commission action.
Of course, you also have the option of submitting revised expansion plans
which respond to the concerns of the Planning Commission. These plans may
be submitted at any time.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this
matter.

Mr. Satterstrom rea• - report stating the project had been tabled by the
Board of Architectural Review in February pending a legal opinion from the attorney.
It was determined that the present processing operation is subordinate to the
distribution and warehousing of plastic products. It is an allowed use. The proposed
addition of 5,480 square feet of warehousing space is approximately a 22% expansion
to the existing building. The site plan shows a reduction in the asphalt pavement
on the parcel. Thirty -five parking spaces will be provided. The northern curb cut
on Andover Park East is proposed to be enlarged to forty feet. This reduces the
landscaping area slightly. Three 10 foot by 10 foot dock high truck doors are
proposed directly behind the enlarged curb cut. He said the parking does not meet
City requirements. The 28,245 square feet of warehouse would require 28.245 spaces
and the office would require 6.944 for a total of 35.189 or 36 parking spaces. The
Department of Public Works has not received an application for a curb cut permit
to enlarge the northern curb cut on Andover Park East. It appears that the only
reason why an enlarged curb cut is necessary would be to allow truck maneuvering on
Andover Park East. The staff recommended that the Board of ARchitectural Review
deny the request by Globe Plastics based upon the fact that the site does not
provide adequate parking and on -site truck maneuvering as required by the City.
Mr. Sconzo, architect, explained the truck maneuvering as they anticipated it
could be done. Mr. Orrico suggested redesign to assure that there would never be
any off -site trucking. Mr. Satterstrom explained how employees would be unable to
get out of their parking area. Mr. Sconzo said if parking and turn - around is
increased they would have to leave out some of the landscaping. Mr. James asked
if this matter should be referred to the Board of Adjustment? Mr. Satterstrom said
it is likely the developer could apply for a variance or revise the site plan.
Mr. Sconzo said they could not build on the south, they can only expand to the west.
MOVED BY MR. ORRICO, SECONDED BY MR. SOWINSKI, THAT THE BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL
REVIEW DENY THE REQUEST BY GLOBE PLASTICS BASED UPON THE FACT THAT THE SITE DOES
;;OT PROVIDE ADEQUATE PARKING AND ON -SIDE TRUCK MANEUVERING AS REQUIRED BY THE TMC.

AGENDA ITEM VI B DEVELOPMENT PLANS: Globe Plastics (Expansion)
A site plan and elevations (Exhibits A and B) have been submitted by Tom Sconzo
Architects for review of a proposed expansion of Globe Plastics, Inc. located at
290 Andover Park East.
The project had been tabled by the Board of Architectural Review at their regular
meeting on Thursday, February 22, 1979 pending a legal opinion from the attorney.
It was ultimately determined that the present processing operation is subordinate
to the distribution and warehousing of plastic products. Therefore, it is an
allowed use.
FINDINGS:
1. Globe Plastics is located in the C -M District.
2. The building was constructed in 1971.
3. The proposed addition of 5,480 square feet of warehousing space is approximately
a 22% expansion to the existing building.
4. The total building will have 28,245 square feet of warehouse space and 2,240
square feet of office space.
5. The site plan shows a reduction in the asphalt pavement on the parcel. Thirty -
five (35) parking spaces will be provided.
6. The northern curb cut on Andover Park East is proposed to be enlarged to forty
(40) feet. This reduces the landscaping area slightly.
7. Three (3) 10 -foot by 10 -foot dock -high truck doors are proposed directly behind
the enlarged curb cut.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The parking does not meet that required per TMC 18.56. Mr. Sconzo has rounded
off his calculations downward. The 28,245 square feet of warehouse would require
28.245 spaces and the office would require 6.944 for a total of 35.189 or 36
parking spaces.
2. The Department of Public Works has not received an application for a curb cut
permit to enlarge the northern curb cut on Andover Park East. It appears that
the only reason why an enlarged curb cut is necessary would be to allow truck
manuevering on Andover Park East.
Planning Commission
Staff Report
Page 2
28 June 1979
TMC 18.56, Off- Street Parking and Loading Regulations, addresses the specific
uses and problems in more detail. In TMC 18.56.210, the adequacy of maneuver-
ing of trucks on site is discussed. It is specifically stated that "there
shall be provided and maintained on the premises adequate space for standing,
loading and unloading services in order to avoid undue interference with pub-
lic use of the streets and alleys."
Adequate maneuvering space is addressed in Policy 2 of the Transportation
Objective and Policies in the Comprehensive Plan. Its intent is to "discourage
the maneuvering of automobiles or trucks on public right -of- way." The exist-
ing parking lot at Globe Plastics allows the trucks to maneuver on the site.
It would appear that the proposed addition and its associated parking area
would force the trucks to maneuver on Andover Park East and back -in or use
a portion of the parking lot designated for automobile parking spaces.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that the Board of Architectural Review deny the reqeust by
Globe Plastics, Inc. to expand based upon the fact that the site does not pro-
vide adequate parking and on -site truck manuevering as required by the Tukwila
Municipal Code.

SUBJECT: Globe Plastics Site
Per our discussion regarding the truck manuevering on Andover Park East, it is
my recommendation that any project which would contribute to traffic congestion,
cause undue delay to the motoring public and /or potential traffic hazards should
not be allowed.
In this context, the addition to the Globe Plastics building would appear to require
that site - destined truck traffic backup and manuever on Andover Park East to use the
loading doors. Please consider these comments in your plan review.

expansion of Globe Plastics, Inc. located on Andover Park East. After
detailed review of both the site and the Tukwila Municipal Code, it has
been decided to process the expansion plans proposed by Globe Plastics, Inc.
The decision is enclosed for your review. Basically, it has been determined .
that the present processing operation is subordinate to the distribution and
warehousing of plastic products.
I have schedule the expansion plans to be reviewed by the Board of Architectural
Review at their regular June meeting on Thursday the 28th. A staff report will
be completed and mailed to your by June the 22nd.
TO: Fred N. Satterstrom, Planning Supervisor
FROM: Roger J. Blaylock, Assistant Planner
DATE: 9 May 1979
SUBJECT: GLOBE PLASTICS /C -M DISTRICT
This memorandum is offered in response to a request by Globe Plastics
to expand their present operation, (copy attached).
Review of the business license for Globe Plastics revealed that they have
considered themselves as a polyethylene converting operation since 1972.
Trying to discover what a "polyethylene converting operation" was, I called
the firm and talked with Mr. Dick Petersen. From that conversation, it
appeared that the primary function of the building was the cutting of poly-
ethylene, a plastic product. Based upon our conversation and a letter
received on 22 February 1979, I requested a legal opinion from Larry Hard,
the City Attorney concerning the legal position of the City. Mr. Hard
.responded that in his "opinon that Globe Plastics, Inc. has made an illegal
use of the subject property since it occupied the property in January of
1972. It has not established the existence of a non - conforming use... ".
His opinion continued stating the doctrines of equitable estoppel and
lanches, (copy attached).
An on site inspection conducted on Thursday, 5 April 1979 revealed that
70 to 75 percent of the building was used for warehouse and office.
Polyethylene in the form of rolls and drop clothes were being stored.
A large cutting table was utilized for the converting process. The poly-
ethylene is being chemically manufactured in Yakima and shipped to Tukwila
for cutting and packaging.

MEMORANDUM
1. Globe Plastics is located in the C -M District.
2. The operation of Globe Plastics includes the storage, cutting and
packaging of polyethylene, a plastic product.
3. The manufacture, assemble or processing of plastic and plastic pro-
ducts is specifically limited to the M -2 District by TMC.18.42.010
(30). However, the storage of plastics in not limited to the' M -2
District.
Memorandum

CONCLUSION:
The cutting of polyethylene is part of the assembly process to produce the pro-
duct. However, the packaging of a product in plastic should be excluded from
this definition. Many manufactured products are packaged in plastic. Packaging
is incidental to the manufacturing process.
4. TMC 18.41.010, M -1 District, allows the manufacture of products such as:
artificial flowers, bags, brooms, brushes, buttons, clothing, electrical
signs, furniture, mattressess, radios, and television sets.
CONCLUSION:
These products can be made of or contain plastic products. This appears to be a
conflict in intent between TMC 18.41.010 and TMC 18.42.010. Technological changes
since 1957 have revolutionalized the concept of plastics. In 1957, the uses of
plastics were limited and most plastics were considered flamable and dangerous.
At that time the manufacturing process generally included the assemble of the pro-
duct. It appers that the primary intent of the TMC in 1957 was to limit the poten-
tially dangerous plastics industry to the M -2 District. By 1971, thousands of
products were being made in part or whole out of plastics. Today, many plastic
products are non - flamable.
An example close at hand is the Cello Bag Company. In 1957, paper was the primary
material to use in making bags. Today, polyethylene is used in making bags.
Globe Plastic is using the same material, polyethylene, but making drop cloths
instead of bags. Logically, technological changes should result in modification
of our zoning ordinance or a change in interpretation.
5. TMC 18.06 distinguishes between principal and accessory uses.
6. The uses allowed in TMC 18.32, the C -M District, are a composite of uses
allowed in the C -1, C -2, and M -1 Districts.
7. TMC 18.40, M -1 District, does not address accessory uses. However, TMC
18.30.010 (43), C -2 District, allows "accessory uses customarily incident
to the above uses."
8. TMC 18.42.010 (57) M -2 District, also allows "Customary accessory uses."
CONCLUSION:
The primary use of the building is the storage of plastic (75 - 80 %). The
polyetheylene converting is a secondary use, which is allowed only in the M -2
District. The converting could be considered an accessory use if the converting
function was dependent upon the warehousing.
RECOMMENDATION:
That TMC 18.42.010 (30), M -2 District, Heavy Industry, be interpreted to mean the
chemical manufacturing of plastics from chemicals or petroleum products. The
assembly, processing and packaging of plastics where no chemical change occurs or
where it is a portion of another product is not.within the scope or intent of the term.
Memorandum
Fred N. Satterstrom

' This interpretation of TMC 18.42.010 (30) does not resolve the problem of Globe
Plastics operating in the.0 -M District, TMC 18.32. Either Globe Plastics should
be forced to move or the TMC should be amended to allow the storage, assembly,
and processing of plastics and plastic products in the C -M District.

COUNSEL
You have requested an opinion from our office regarding
a proposed expansion of Globe Plastics, Inc. It is my
understanding that on June 25, 1971, a building permit was
issued to Globe Plastics, Inc. The permit application states
that the proposed use of the building was to be "office warehouse ".
At the time the building permit was issued, the zoning of the
subject property was C -M. The proposed use of "office warehouse"
is allowable under the C -M zoning classification. At the time
Globe Plastics, Inc. applied for the building permit, it was
aware that its proposed use of the property included the cutting
of polyethylene film into various sizes for plastic drop cloths
and tarps. In June, 1971, the manufacturing, assembly or
processing of plastics or plastic products was allowed only in
an M -2 district. As a result, processing of plastics was not
an allowed use under the C -M zoning classification in 1971 and
has never been an allowed use from that dat to the present time.
Globe Plastics, Inc. proceeded to construct a facility pur-
suant to the building permit. It then engaged in the business of
processing plastics and other activities in the subject facility.
There was no later review of the use of the property by the
City of Tukwila Office of Community Development or its predeces-
sors. However, ever since January, 1972, the City of Tukwila
has issued annual' business licenses to Globe Plastics, Inc. to
allow it to conduct its business at the subject location. In its
most recent annual business license application, Globe
Plastics, Inc. has stated that the type of business rendered
at the subject property is "polyethylene converting ". Presumably,
this description was the same as used by the company on its
Mr. Roger J. Blaylock
April 3, 1979
Page Two
prior business license renewal forms. I do not know what
Globe Plastics, Inc. stated on its application for a new
business license which it must have filed in late 1971 or
early 1972.
In early 1979, Globe Plastics, Inc. submitted plans to
expand its physical facility at the subject site. The
additional space will be used for office and warehouse functions
together with a slight increase in the plastic processing function.
Based on the above facts, it is my opinion that Globe
Plastics, Inc. has made an illegal use of the subject property
since it occupied the property in January, 1972. It has not
established the existence of a non - conforming use and, it would
appear, that no variance or conditional use permit was ever
granted to the company. In my opinion, it will be necessary
for Globe Plastics, Inc. to seek a variance in order to continue
and expand its facility to continue its use for the processing
of plastic products.
In the event the city requires Globe Plastics, Inc. to
seek a variance, the City of Tukwila should be aware that there
are certain matters which will be raised by the applicant in
support of its claim to have a right to continue its present
use of the property and to expand it. The first doctrine is
a doctrine of equitable estoppel. It will be the position of
Globe Plastics, Inc. that it acted in good faith in reliance
on the fact that the city issued a building permit in 1971.
This gives rise to the doctrine of equitable estoppel which
in the opinion of one court is defined as follows:
. . . equitable estoppel [applies] to a local
government exercising zoning power where a
property owner (1) in good faith, (2) upon some
act or omission of the government, (3) has made
such a 'substantial change in position or has
incurred such extensive obligations and expenses
that it would be highly inequitable and unjust
to destroy the right he acquired ".
Mr. Roger J. Blaylock
April 3, 1979
Page Three
Another matter which will be raised by the applicant is
the doctrine of laches. Laches is applied where a party, such
as the City of Tukwila, fails to exercise rights which it may
have in a timely manner. In this case, it will be the position
of Globe Plastics, Inc. that the City of Tukwila has always
known about the activities conducted at the facility and has
not taken any action to inhibit its current use. In fact, the
city has issued business licenses based on the fact that it is
aware that Globe Plastics, Inc. is conducting a business
involving "polyethylene converting ".
Both of these doctrines are valid and have a great deal of
force and effect. However, there is a fundamental rule of law
which provides that if a land use is prohibited by zoning
ordinance, the user cannot establish a right to continue, change,
or expand that use simply by obtaining a permit which the issuing
officer was without authority to give. In our case, the building •
official had no authority to issue a building permit for a use
prohibited in a C -M district. In addition, a number of courts
have refused to uphold claims of a right to a non - conforming use
even after long periods of municipal acquiescence in the
illegally permitted use.
To summarize, I believe the city can refuse to approve the
development plans being submitted by Globe Plastics, Inc. on
the grounds that they would allow a use which is prohibited by
the zoning applicable to the property in question. Furthermore,
I believe the city could consider taking steps to prohibit the
use which is currently being conducted on the property. In the
event the City of Tukwila does take that position, and it
requires Globe Plastics, Inc. to seek a variance for approval,
the city should be prepared to have its actions challenged in
court. In that event, there could be significant attorney's
fees involved.
If you have any questions about this opinion, or if there
are any facts which I did not correctly recite, please do not
hesitate to call me to discuss this matter.

RE: ; „:Globe Plastics, Inc.
Dear .Mr. Hard:
Recently, the Planning Division received development plans
for a proposed expansion of Globe Plastics, Inc. The firm
has been operating within the City since January of 1972 in
the C -M district. However, their activities may not be
allowed by the zoning ordinance. Mr. Dick Peterson, Vice -
President of Peterson Industries, Inc., has provided us with
an explanation of the firm's activities, which I have attached.
The C -M district allows any use allowed in the C -1, C -2 or M -1
district. However, the manufacturing, assembly or processing
of plastics and plastic products is allowed only in the M -2
district (TMC 18.42.010). The storage of plastics is not
addressed specifically in any section of the ordinance.
Off hand, it would appear: that the cutting of polyethylene
film into various sizes for plastic drop cloths and tarps is
a form of processing plastics. However, the question of whether
the operation is a non - conforming use is complicated by the fact
that the Planning Commission approved development plans on April
15, 1971, that a building permit was issued on June 25, 1971 and
a business licen was issued in January of 1972. Since that
time a business license has been renewed each year.
In your opinion, is Globe Plastics, Inc. a non - conforming use or
an illegal use? What is the appropriate administrative or legal
procedure that should be followed for their present operation?
How should we react to the requested expansion of the facility?
If I can be of any help clarifying any of the points above,
please call.
Sincerely,

Mr. Robert Kessey, representing the applicant, stated he concurred with the staff
report. Stated he felt the topography in the area, however, separated the build-
ing from Southcenter Boulevard.
Mr. Lee Phillips, 5560 South 154th, stated he opposed the proposed rezone on the
basis it would be detrimental to the adjacent single - family properties.
Malcolm McLeod, attorney for adjacent landowners, presented a petition with 92
signatures against "spot zoning" in the City of Tukwila. Stated several adverse
impacts would result if rezone is approved:
views will be impaired
- natural vegetation will be removed from site
this is an example of "spot zoning" which will be detrimental to resi-
dential properties
- proposed parking is illegal
proposed building design is below the standard of the surrounding community
neighborhood may be severely disrupted
Mr. John Merrick, 6532 South 154th, stated he opposed the rezone due to increased
taxes and blockage of views. Stated he felt the "timing" of this rezone was poor.
Mr. Kessey stated the. trees along Southcenter Boulevard may have to be removed but
the site will be landscaped. Said the development is valuable for City tax rolls

This letter is in regards to your inquiry of Peterson Industries Inc., Globe
Plastic Company, a subsidiary of Peterson Industries, and Peterson Sales, Inc.
a separate leasce of the building located at 290 Andover Park East, in Tukwila.
We built this building approximately seven years ago. It was built as a fac-
ility for Globe Plastic Company, and Peterson Sales Inc. Globe Plastic Company
is a converter of finished polyethylene material into plastic drop cloths and
tarps, which is strictly the cutting of polyethylene film into various sizes.
This is done by five, to seven, women who fold and package these products by
hand. We do no manufacturing whatsoever, and our business has not changed one
bit in the seven years we have been here, with the exception that Peterson
Sales Inc., which acts as a manufacturers representative, and warehousing
facility, has grown in their warehousing operation some three hundred percent,
as compared with Globe Plastic Company whose rate of growth is more like one
hundred fifty percent.
When we built this building it was with the understanding that when we were
ready we had the ability to expand out to the West, even with our existing
offices, which could add up to an extra six to seven thousand square feet.
We also understood that this met with all the set backs, prescribed parking
areas, and landscaping regulations. Our expansion would in no way create any
further traffic in the area. At the present time we have fourteen employees
regularly using thirty parking spaces, and four of these people ride together
on a daily basis, in fact, we cannot foresee an increase of more than three to
four people in our total organization in the next four to five years. Normally
any increase in the workload in our facility is handled either by night work,
or overtime on weekends. The same is true with incoming and outgoing freight.
We average approximately three to four truckloads in per week, and seven to ten
smaller trucks outgoing per week. Normally incoming freight consists of one
third, to one half truck, which could increase between two thirds, to one full
truck. As far as the outgoing freight is concerned, we ship via common carrier,
and normally this ranges between twenty to fifty cases per truck. This realis-
tically could increase up to eighty to ninety pieces per truck, which in no way
could increase the trucking traffic.
We have been a member of your community for the past seven years, and have
always met with all of your regulations, inspections by both fire and police
departments, and have bent over backwards to uphold the quality of the area
by maintaining.a neat and attractive facility. We need this expansion to
continue to maintain an aggressive and profitable business, which in turn
helps to maintain a healthy economy for all of us.

: EXPANSION OF GLOBE PLASTICS
Dear Mr. Sconzo:
Staff review of the development plans submitted for Globe Plastics , Inc.
by your firm, has revealed a serious legal question. The function of
Globe Plastics, Inc. as a legal allowable use in the CM -Z one is in ques-
tion. The original building permit was issued for and office and ware-
house. A detailed written clarification of the operations of Globe Plastic
will need to be submitted prior to further processing of the application.
The written clarification will have to be reviewed by both Planning Division
staff and the City Attorney.
The item has been removed from the February 22nd meeting of the Board of
Architectuaral Review. Until a determination is made to whether the use
is a legal non - conforming use, it will not be put back on the agenda.
Closing date for the March 22nd meeting will be March 8th.
If I can be of any further assistance, I can be reached at 433 -1848.

Minutes of the Meeting, April 15, 1971
The regular meeting of the Tukwila Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman
Harrison at 8:05 P.M. Members present: Mr. Kirsop, Mr. Traynor, Mrs. Harris, Mr.
Sneva, Mr. Link, Mr. Johanson, Miss Nelson, Mr. West and Mr. Mettler.
The minutes of the March 18th meeting were read and approved. Mr. Harrison presented
a resume of a discussion between himself and the City Attorney concerning the proposed
Service Station Ordinance. The City Attorney suggested the following:
a. Removal of the station after one year of vacancy.
b. Removal of some clauses concerning paving and some other changes in wording
of the ordinance.
c. In particular, the minimum lot size of stations, as written, was questioned
as being unrealistic.
In the discussion of this meeting Mr. Sneva stated he felt the proposed 20 foot set -back
was not sufficient, particularly that it was too close on corners. Mr. Zepp, City
Superintendent, questioned if the proposed ordinance would supercede Ordinance 251 in
set -back requirements in M -1 zoning.
The following items of business were considered:
1. Request for Sign Permit - Mazda Motors
PLANNING COMMISSION
Alvin B. Harrison, Chairman
Ronald F. Mettler, Vice - Chairman
Mr. Zepp presented information regarding this request, which included a letter
of ruling from the City Attorney, and an application for a sign permit. Mr. Zepp noted
he was following Ordinance 251 procedures in submitting the plans and permit application
to the Planning Commission. He also stated the papers complied with all other require-
ments of 251. Mr. Harrison read the letters from the City Attorney and Mr. Charles Baker
regarding the sign. Discussion followed concerning features of the sign to which the
A.C.C. objected. Mr. Zepp cited conversations with Epcon Sign Company's attorneys in
which they requested guidance to resolve this problem. It was noted the plans for the
sign did not include certain technical data regarding its construction. Mr. Link moved
that the building permit for the Mazda Motors sign not be granted until the structural
adequacy of the sign be demonstrated according to the building code. Mr. Johanson
seconded and the motion carried.
2. Seattle City Light - Discussion on Variance
Mr. O'Brien, Burien - Tukwila Area Manager for Seattle City Light, presented
details regarding a variance for setting two new poles on South 134th St., replacing
some existing poles, and use all overhead wiring. This would be to extend three -phase
service from South 133rd St. to a manufacturing building owned by Mr. Ray F. Nelson,
located on 4th Ave. So. and South 134th St., which is situated just outside the city
3. Other Business

limits. (It should be noted that this was a preliminary discussion, inasmuch as a
formal application for variance had not been presented to the Planning Commission.)
Mr. O'Brien compared costs of extending three -phase service to Mr. Nelson by overhead
and underground methods from different locations of existing three -phase service. lbs.
Nelson at present desires overhead service; but is making provisions in his building for
future underground service. Lengthy discussion followed concerning type of underground
service, details of poles, arrangement and number of overhead wires, etc. ;►ir. Harrison
suggested using overhead wiring to front of property, and then underground from the
property line to the building, with pad - mounted transformers. It was also suggested
that sir. O'Brien consult further with City Light engineering to work out such a compromise
and more definite cost figures. Mr. Traynor moved that a formal request for variance
be submitted, and further discussion be delayed until this request came in. Mr. Sohanson
seconded and the motion carried.
--�^ a. H. S. Ferguson Office and Warehouse Building in Andover Industrial Park.
Plans comply with all set -back requirements and covenants. Parking includes 26 spaces
with possible future parking provided. Miss Nelson moved the plans be accepted subject
to technical review and approval by appropriate city officials. Mr. Traynor seconded
and the motion carried.
b. Project 181 Warehouse and Office Building in Andover Industrial Park.
Plans show five truck docks and 35 parking spaces. Set -back and covenant requirements
are met. Mr. Link moved the plans be accepted subject to technical review and approval
by appropriate city officials. Mr. Kirsop seconded and the motion carried.
c. Plans for landscaping of grounds around the Radio Shack building. The
A.C.C. has approved these plans, and the Planning Commission concurred.
The meeting adjourned at 10:30 P.M.
