MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 23, 1995 is not required. Bill's Automotive reported that he has acquired a few cars which have been sitting on the site. These cars will be removed from the property. Fourre reported that he is not objecting to the cars which sit on the property for a few days, but rather the ones that have been sitting for a long time. There is also a trailer without wheels and a truck sitting on the site. Fourre stated he was concerned about the berm extending beyond Mr. Frattalone's property line since this would provide more area for outdoor storage. Fourre was concerned that filling has occurred in the drainage area. Frattalone replied that there has been no filling of the swamp. The Code Officer also pointed out that the property is zoned B-3. There is a major motor vehicle repair shop operating in the building. This is not a permitted use in the B-3 District. The Code Officer stated that he needed to do more research on the businesses in the building to determine which are permitted and which are not. Fahey pointed out that this was an issue a few years ago, and there was a lawn care business which had to relocate since it was not permitted. Frattalone stated that he believed all the businesses in the building were licensed. Bill's Automotive reported that he moved into the building in 1989 or 1990 and was issued a license by the City. The City Administrator reported that Bill's Automotive is an auto wholesaler which is a permitted use for indoor activity only.
