Particular attention shall be given to the total bulk of the structure including both horizontal and vertical dimensions. 5) The increase in height shall not result in floor area exceeding the floor area otherwise permitted.

He stated that there is not any documentation in the study to reflect that traffic counts were conducted on 20th Street or the number of vehicles that enter or exit from 20th Street.

Mr. Matulich submitted a petition with over eighty (80) signatures of permanent residents in the area in opposition to the proposed development. He referenced thirteen (13) letters, also in opposition to the project, but they were not submitted for the record.

She stated that at the subject: meeting, the City Council was given a letter from the Wale Development Corporation to Hugh Milligan of Brookview Homeowners Association, outlining specific concerns of the Homeowners Association, which were felt to be resolved. One of the major concerns was that Wale Development did agree to move the trash enclosure to the rear of the property and expand the planter areas designated between cars, subject to parking requirements. However, she stated that this concern was never discussed at the meeting nor • acted upon by the City Council. The Homeowners Association feel their concern, as set forth in the subject letter, should be honored.

Crest Apartments (originally owned by Wale Development), addressed the Council. and stated that when they submitted their plans to the City Council over a year ago, they met with the Brookvi.ew Homeowners Association adjacent to their property, and did agree to move the trash enclosure, subject to parking requirements. After the project was approved by the Council, it was discovered that they would be losing five parking spaces because of Fire Department regulations, etc., and therefore, the trash enclosure was not moved. They do not view the trash enclosure issue to be a problem, but because there is a concern, they have redesigned it so that it looks more like a garage and is self- contained with a roof on it. They feel it is good • planning to leave the trash enclosure where it is presently located, especially since 15 to 18 tenants will have to carry their trash 280 to 320 feet if it is relocated. Motion x Following discussion, motion was made to All Ayes take no further action at this time, but that the applicant take whatever steps are necessary to assure that the trash enclosure will not impact the adjacent neighbors, and that all trash will be confined to the container.
