Mr. Palermo questioned whether KLA has any other facilities in a “transient” area such as the
nearby hotel. Mr. Miller responded that he was not sure, although there is another located in a
shopping center.
Vice Chair Wheeler specifically requested that the electrical box at the corner of the daycare
inside the six foot high wall be either relocated or moved behind the wall so it’s not in the play
area.
Chair Katz confirmed that the connection between the prior restaurant and hotel will be closed
off; that area will be used for administrative purposes.
Chair Katz then opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one wishing to speak on
this item.
Mr. Rosecrans asked regarding the speed table affecting drainage and was advised that
drainage will veer off in both directions to the catch basins.
With regard to Mr. Skarecki’s concerns as to increased traffic and parking lot congestion, Mr.
Miller pointed out that the restaurant will not be open in the mornings; however, they do not
anticipate parking that far away from the daycare center. The Catalina Center will provide any
additional parking needed.
Motion made by Vice Chair Wheeler, seconded by Mr. Miller, to approve COUS16-002/MSPM
16-003. In a voice vote the motion passed 8-1, with Mr. Skarecki opposed.

8. Comments by members
Mr. Rosecrans asked if the City makes plans to change traffic signals as more traffic is
generated. Mr. Rumpf Breese replied that traffic signals are under control of the county and if
there is a problem recognized the county is alerted to do a study of the intersection and make a
determination if changes are needed.
