MINUTES <br />City Council <br />August 27, 1986 <br />Text Mr. Gene DeLonais reported that he drove through the area on <br />Amendment a Sunday morning and the noise was coming from the repair shop <br />Landscape that will be vacating the premises September 1. The landscape <br />Businesses businesses were closed. <br />(Cont.) <br /> DeLonais also pointed out that most of the businesses in Little <br /> Canada ar e not owned by Little Cana da residents. <br />Prescription reported that 4 or 5 years ago his business did do <br />landscaping, but has evolved into a lawn maintenance business. <br />However, they do replace shrubs and trees. Prescription reported <br />that the only tools they have for replacing shrubs and trees are <br />shovels. <br />Frattalone pointed out that these businesses mostly store their <br />equipment in the building and could not see where this was much <br />different than mini-storage which is a permited use in B-3. <br />Blesener pointed out that there is no outdoor storage involved <br />in this business and felt that the business was a service-related <br />one. <br />Fahey pointed out that the Planner is recommending against the <br />text amendment and that the Council cannot ignore the problems <br />that have existed at the site. Fahey suggested that perhaps the <br />answer is not to use Park Street. <br />Frattalone pointed out that he has only used the road for about <br />one year and when there were problems due to this, he closed off <br />this access. <br />Blesener felt that Frattalone should be allowed to use Park Street. <br />Collova pointed out that the problem is that there is B-3 property <br />adjacent to residential. <br />Scalze agreed that since Frattalone paid for Park Street he should <br />be allowed to use it. <br />Fahey asked the neighbors their feelings if Mr. Frattalone were <br />to close off access to Park Street, berm the area and landscape, <br />if they would be agreeable to a conditional use permit for one <br />year for these businesses, or a variance to allow the businesses <br />for one year. <br />The Planner stated that a variance could not be granted, but the <br />Council could extend the eviction notice for one year. <br />Mark Schultz, neighboring property owner, reported that he is aware <br />of the uses allowed in a B-3 zone and reported that when he purchased <br />his property in 1981 he was aware of these uses and that he did not <br />get the property any cheaper because it was across from B-3. <br />Page -6- <br />
