Discussion insued between the Board and Mr. ' Mendleson relative to the several special permits he had previously received. There appeared to be some misunderstanding on theDpart of Mr. Mendleson as to what he was presently allowed to do and this is the reason why he brought the present application for relief to the Board:as he was seeking to secure permission to sell and rent electronic equipment to consumers at retail. Discussion insued relative to available parking and how many vehicles and trailers the applicant used in his business and where they were parked. Mr. Mendleson did not feel that there would be any problem with parking. No one spoke either in favor or in opposition to the application. The Board told Mr. Mendleson that the matter would be taken under advise- ment and that he would be notified. The Board met again on November 21, 1984 and the subject matter of the petition of Alan Industries, Inc. was discussed. Mr. Makunas pointed out to the Board Members that there was very limited parking available at the site and that Mr. Mendleson had indicated that he had a number of trucks, trailers and equipment which he parked on the site. Mr. Makunas further indicated that the Board in its prior decision had expressly forbid the application from conducting any retail sales on the premises because of the fact that Mr. Mendleson had sold part of his business to Margo Wharton who relocated it to another store on the Rotary. He further indicated that there was no on-site parking available to the applicant which would satisfy the Zoning requirement for off-street parking and that this played a role in the previous decision to take away the ability of the applicant to conduct a retail business. The Board Members discussed the problem of off-street parking on the Rotary Traffic Circle where the applicants place of business is located and all agreed that a dangerous situation would occur if retail sales and rentals were permitted.
