MINUTES ity C until ~Cont.g April 9, 1980 Langeslay The City Clerk reported that the Peter Langeslay proposal of Proposal construction of an industrial building to be located on County Roacl [3 has been referred back to the Planner. Auto Mr. Ed McCumber appeared before the Council requesting approval of Repair an auto repair license for Mr. Larry Dahl so that Mr. Dahl could License operate an auto alignment and frame straightening business in the Messrs. Dahl building owned by Mr. McCumber at the intersection of County Road and McCumber D and Edgerton. Mayor Hanson reported that the Planning Commission has recommended denial of this request. Mr. Peter Costa, Planning Commission member, stated that the Planning Commission did not want an auto shop located in this area. The McCumber property is zoned light industrial, but it is surrounded by R-1 property. The Planner sent a letter to the Council and the Planning Commission regarding the McCumber property outlining some concerns the Planner has regarding the property and recommending that the auto repair license not be granted until these concerns are resolved. Mr. McCumber informed the Council that he and Mr. Dahl were to receive a copy of this letter, however, they did not. Therefore, Mr. McCumber was not aware of the Planner's concerns until the Planning Commission meeting when the subject of the auto repair license was discussed. Mr. McCumber stated that construction on a fence for the property will begin on May 15. Councilman Fahey informed Mr. McCumber that when the Council approved the plans for his building, the Council understood that the building would be used for office and warehouse. Mr. McCumber stated that that was his intent, however, he has not been able to rent the building to suitable tenants for that purpose. Mr. McCumber informed the Council that he submitted a landscape plan for his building on November 7, 1979. It was not until the Planning Commission meeting on April 3 that he was informed that the landscape plan was not adequate. Mr. McCumber also informed the Council that there would be no overnight parking at his building. Mr. McCumber stated that he has two other possible renters for his building, however, he feels Mr. Dahl's business would be a more suitable tenant. Mr. Dahl would have enough room for inside parking of 'the automobiles that he is working on, with very few needing to be parked outside. Councilman Fahey stated that he is not in favor of this proposal as the building was approved as an office/warehouse facility. Fahey further stated that he was not in favor of any industrial development in that portion of the City where the McCumber building is located due to the surrounding R-1 properties. Page -8-
