On November 11, 1996, City Council approved Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU96- 003 for Robert Boncosky to operate a trucking operation with. tank truck cleaning in the 1700 block of South 16th Street. One of the permit conditions was that approval of the proposed truck terminal (SIC #4231) be subject to that portion of 16th Street being approved as a truck route. The property is located South of Fairmont Parkway and is not on a designated truck route. Currently, 16th Street, from Barbour's Cut Blvd. South of Fairmont Parkway is a designated truck route. Boncosky Services has submitted a General Plan for the trucking operation which will be considered at the April 17, 1997, Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting. If Council concurs with staffs recommendation of adding a section of South 16th Street in accordance with the approved Special Conditional Use Permit, then we would ask that it be approved with the proposed addition of Underwood Road.
