addressed the Commission stating reasons for not paving the entire parking area. Mr.
Schneider feels that for aesthetics, safety in the winter months due to the slope of the
parking area, safety to the children in the neighborhood playing on the parking surface,
and increased storm water runoff, it would be most desirable to do hot asphalt only on
the aprons. Discussion followed regarding the time frame in that petitioner chose not to
