MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 27, 1999 CUP FOR Mayor Fahey opened the continuation of the public hearing relative to OPEN & the request of Mr. Jerry Carle for Conditional Use Permit for a PUD OUTDOOR permit to allow open and outdoor storage of towed automobiles as an STORAGE - additional principle use at 3101 Country Drive. It was noted that the 3101 COUNTRY Planning Commission recommended denial of the CUP to allow the DRIVE operation of an impound lot at the site, but recommended approval a CUP allowing storage of up to four tow trucks on the property as well as the office use for Swift Towing subject to compliance with the recommendations of the Code Enforcement Officer which include paving of entrance areas and employee parking area, curbing as needed, markin~ of the parking lot with designated parking spaces, and submission of a site plan showing the dimension of storage areas and designated area for tow truck parking, and subject to the resolution of all code violations on the property. The Code Enforcement Officer noted that her memo dated Apri18`~' is an update on the code violations that Mr. Carle has addressed. Mr. Jerry Carle, 3101 Country Drive, appeared before the Council and reported that he has modified his CUP application and is now requesting approval for the parking of four to five tow trucks as well as office space use for Swift Towing. Mr. Carle reported that when he originally developed his site, he was required to surface the property with Class V material. The City Administrator reported that the amendment to Mr. Carle's CUP would allow the City to require that the property be upgraded to bring it into compliance with current codes. In 1983 when the original CUP was approved, the City did allow Class V as a surfacing material. However, current code would not permit this. The Code Enforcement Officer reported that the recommendation is that the employee parking lot and drive areas be brought up to current code. If Mr. Carle did not proceed with this CUP app(ication, then the property would be subject to the 1983 code requirements. The Officer also pointed out that while the property may have originally been surfaced with Class V, there is not much left and felt that additional material would have to be added to keep dirt and dust from being tracked onto County Drive. Scalze expressed concern that the applicant is requesting a secondary principle use with two different buildings, two users, and two employee parking lots. Scalze questioned how many separate uses can be allowed on a site while foregoin~ development resulting in installation of streets, provision for various services, etc. Scalze also noted that it was her understanding that an accessory use must be accessory to the principle use.
