warehouse/office complex on the 9 acre parcel just west of ABC
Components on West 78th street. She stated that the developer is
representing Redmond products, Inc. a manufacturer of professional
beauty supply hair products. She stated that the proposed faci-
lity would be for sales and distribution offices and storage of
their products. She stated that there will be no manufacturing on
the site. She indicated that the site plan meets the lot and
structure requirements of the P-3 district. She added that Phase
I construction also entails provision of 41 parking spaces and a
loading dock facility. She stated that the applicant submitted a
letter stating that the number of employees in the warehouse por-
tion would not exceed 6. She then noted that these additional
spaces required by the ordinance are unnecessary; however, a con-
dition is included in the recommendation that if additional
employees were retained the applicant shall insure that adequate
parking areas are installed to accommodate the increase. She
stated that the proposed landscaping plan includes berming along
the front of the property but staff recommends that p1antings
finish both ends of the berm to form a complete screen of the
parking area. She also noted that evergreens should be utilized
along the western lot line to screen the loading area and also
interspersed along the eastern curb line.
Bob Ryan stated that they will comply with all of staff's recom-
mendations. He also stated that there will be no retail sales
from the site. He also stated that they were possibly thinking
about putting in a railroad spur for future use.
