MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />AUGUST 11, 2016 <br /> <br /> - 3 - <br /> <br /> Duray asked if there would be a review of the property when the license is <br />due. The Associate Planner stated that sight inspections are conducted for <br />all outdoor storage licenses. Buesing asked if stating only emergency <br />vehicles is too broad since it could include fire trucks which are a lot <br />bigger. He stated that if the code is being modified, it is not too wide open <br />for vehicles that were not intended. The City Planner stated the code is <br />written where it limits the outdoor space square footage allowed to store <br />the vehicles, so they would be able to store less big fire trucks versus more <br />ambulances. <br /> <br /> Bob Haselman, owner of Everest Emergency Vehicles, stated that when it <br />is time for a customer to buy a new emergency vehicle, his staff brings a <br />vehicle to the customer to review the layout and equipment needs. He <br />stated they will install a fence around the rear yard with gates on both <br />sides. Duray asked what they will do inside of the building. Mr. <br />Haselman stated they do the outfitting of squad cars and ambulances with <br />the specialized equipment inside, and there will be office space. He noted <br />that this building is bigger than their current space so they will be able to <br />keep most things inside. Sandell asked what situation would warrant the <br />need to store an inoperable vehicle. Mr. Haselman stated that if vehicles <br />are in an accident, they first come to their shop to be prepped to send off <br />for body work or engine repair, and then brought back to be outfitted with <br />the specialized equipment again. He stated that he has no issues with any <br />of the conditions listed in the staff report. <br /> <br /> There were no comments from the public. <br /> <br />Duray recommended approval of the Text Amendment to add Emergency <br />Vehicle Sale/Storage Lot with Ancillary Outfitting Services to the I-P, <br />Industrial Park Zoning Code as a Conditional Use, as stated in the <br />Associate Planner’s report. <br /> <br />Motion seconded by Davison. <br /> <br />Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br /> Duray recommended approval of a Conditional Use Permit for Everest <br />Emergency Vehicles, Inc. for an Emergency Vehicle Sale/Storage Lot <br />with Ancillary Outfitting Services subject to the condition stated in the <br />Associate Planner’s report. <br /> <br />Motion seconded by Sandell. <br /> <br />Motion carried 5 – 0.
