e Cheryle Hawkins, 1350 Bailey, said she lives about a block from Chef Francisco. She said she opposes the refinement plan amendment because Tax Lots 5900, 6000, and 6100 were designated residential to prevent encroachment of industrial and commercial uses into the residential area and to provide a buffer for the res i dent i a 1 a rea. She sa i d she does not oppose economi c development. Ms. Hawkins said one parking lot exists on Polk Avenue and approval of another parking lot will create congestion at the Polk and Railroad avenues intersection. She suggested a parking signal be installed at the intersection if the proposed development is approved. Ms. Hawkins said she hopes the house on Tax Lot 5900 will be moved so that it can be preserved. She also hopes the large tree can be preserved also. There being no additional requests to testify, Mayor Obie closed the public hearing. Replying to questions from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Bishow said a surface parking lot probably will be developed on the properties but parking structures are permitted in industrial zoning districts. Mr. Croteau added that the height of structures on industrially zoned properties is not limited but the height of structures within 50 feet of residentially zoned properties is limited to two and a half stories. He said a site review criteria concerning compatibility of scale and bulk with adjacent properties could be added to the site review concerns recommended by the Planning Commission. Ms. Ehrman said she favors the addition of the criteria Mr. Croteau suggested. ~ Ms. Bascom said Tax Lots 5900, 6000, and 6100 are near some of the best bicycle facil it i es in the ci ty. She suggested 8i cycl e Commi ttee and Ci ty staff members discuss how employees can be encouraged to ride bicycles with Chef Francisco representatives.
