Place a brick veneer on some of the front, west and all of the east side of the building. The basic configuration of the lot and building will remain the same. The existing front entrance to the service bays should be closed off and rear entrance bays should be used; this would permit construction of a planting area in front of the building. Due to the close proximity of the pump islands to the ,street, the usual landscaping requirements adjacent to the pumps should be waived in lieu of a five-foot wide planting area in front of the building which would enhance both the appearance of the station and the surrounding area. SECTION 2. This Commission finds that: 1. The granting of a conditional use permit as herein- after provided will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. 2.
