Tony McNosky, 5108 Pleasant Run Rd., would like the Commission to focus off the
reconfiguration of Pleasant Run Road and focus on how this high profile business will increase
the problem of unsafe conditions for pedestrians along Pleasant Run Road. Increasing traffic
onto Pleasant Run Road will only increase the traffic hazards;
Donna Arp, 7207 Monticello, spoke to the Commissioners about the meetings the City Council
have held regarding the realignment of Pleasant Run Road;
Steve Graffman, 815 Central Drive, had concerns about directing commercial traffic through
residential districts along Pleasant Run Road; and
Beverly Figero, 817 Central Drive, had concerns about traffic on Pleasant Run Road and is
opposed to Applebee's having an entrance on Pleasant Run Road. There being no one else
wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Following discussion by the Commission, Chairman Lebo stated that improvements to and the
realignment of Pleasant Run Road is a priority and it is also important to add to the
commercial tax base by bringing quality development into the community. He moved to
recommend approval of the special use permit request to allow alcoholic beverage sales,
on-premise consumption, in a restaurant setting, Case S-97-003, subject to the following:
