MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCH 22, 2017 the front line of the building for those customers that stop in after business hours. The Associate Planner stated that the applicant has requested a customer vehicle outdoor storage area behind the building for up to eight vehicles. She noted that this would only be for repairing the accessibility/mobility mechanical components, not standard auto repair. She explained that there are currently four semi -trailers parked in the rear of the building being used for storage by All America Recreation. Staff had originally recommended that they be removed by June 1, 2017, but the owner asked the Planning Commission if he could have until July 1, and staff feels that is reasonable.

Mr. Cummings stated that they take them in order to help their customers since many are elderly and often do not know how to sell their old vehicle, but noted that they want the property to look nice. Montour asked if the City was going to allow the consignment vehicles to be here and for how long. He noted that he agrees with what the Planning Commission recommended, but maybe Cummings needs to be allowed more than eight spaces in the rear for their inventory and service vehicles. Dan stated that being allowed fourteen to sixteen spaces in the rear would be ideal. Montour recommended going with what the Planning Commission agreed to for now and letting the business run for one year, and Cummings Mobility can request to amend the PUD to allow more spaces in the rear if needed. Upon motion by Montour, seconded by Fischer, the public hearing was closed. Fischer introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: on
