Mr. Comoh o proposes to *root new owwruetion at 318 West Stag► Street direotly opposite the present TV Shop promises, and this Is the site of the feiver Sunoeo rias Station whieb has bean demolished to permit the construction of a buildings It to now vaseat lead, ANTHONY CZRACCHEs That was the original sgteement with you people, providing we did away with the old gas station,, which Is now an empty lot. The type of building proposed will look similar to ow on Sonoma Strout. We plan to nova our tols- vision *able operation into a building completely sepayrato 020 from our sales and service building, About the only way of doing that is to somplot ely amore it physically and not try to operate in the sam building* Som of our probloos ares In ardor to be" go" two-way parrking# there to a earta n width required and by being able to build within me foam o the side yard - they ars► in aunt with that, although I do not have it in writing. As I oras about to say, by being able to build one toot from the liaa, we are not orampod in our parking arum. We seen thus =mower in and out properly. The roar yard set-book we would_llbs to reduce as such ars possiblre.

MR, CERACCHEs The ttruok would ho" to book Into the driveway, which is ttwontty«fivo feet wide, so unloading would be ono tirely off tho artroot. This sixty-five feet to adequate for tray parking, but sixty fest is a little on the orappod side for two«vey parkin$. MR.

I think in that spot it will add functional y for traffic flow for our pick-up service for the food markets this is why we designed our facilities as they are on that lot, It made a eosepatible rrerall plan* under itv in positioning3 we consider that the traffic flow will be o"od. to a pattern which many of the resi- dents have berme accustomed top ant rather than change the traffic flaw, we were able to position this facility on the lot by removing a few parking spaces. i1EMLY MRTINa Ila you here as nany People coming off Route 13?
