Ms. Aja answered the issue concerned the tent structure and the Applicant did not obtain an
SDR permit for the structure.. She continued that one of the Conditions of Approval for the
present SDR requires that before the project is finaled the tent must be removed. The Applicant
has indicated that once the building is completed the car washing will occur at the GMC
dealership at the corner of Dublin Blvd. and John Monego Court and then. once the Kia
dealership is constructed the cars will be washed in a permanent facility on that site.
Chair Brown opened the public hearing.
George Avanessian, Architect spoke in favor of the project and stated he accepts the Conditions
of Approval.
Cm. Wehrenberg asked how the blue color on the Chevrolet building will hold up against the
weather.
Mr. Avanessian stated the panel is specified by the Chevrolet factory and stated the aluminum
panels don't bleach because the paint is baked in the panel.
Chair Brown closed the public hearing.
Cm. O'Keefe supported the project and could make all the findings.
Cm. Wehrenberg agreed and felt the quality of the finish on the building was such that it will hold
up against the weather.
