MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />JULY 8, 1999 <br />Carlson stated that it was not his intent to fill the property with car <br />slips. He only obtains the clips when he has a vehicle to rebuild <br />and once that process is completed the unusable parts would be <br />discarded. <br />The Zoning Administrator pointed out that she is recommending <br />that the business be allowed the storage of 6 licensed and operable <br />vehicles in the process of being repaired. <br />Carlson indicated that they are trying to clean up the property and <br />eliminate the junk. However, indicated that he needs sufficient car <br />parts to work on vehicles. Carlson estimated that me might be <br />working on 6 vehicles at a time. He estimated that the rebuild time <br />on a vehicle can range from 30 to 90 days. <br />The Commission indicated to Carlson that car parts will have to be <br />stored inside. <br />Keis asked if Carlson could live with the recommendations of the <br />Zoning Administrator. Carlson indicated that Mr. Valento would <br />like to blacktop the property next summer. <br />Keis pointed out that the City has established December 31, 1999 <br />as a deadline for compliance. <br />Carlson again expressed concern about not being able to store car <br />parts outside. Montour reported that he has been to a lot of body <br />shops, and has never seen one the likes of this. Montour pointed <br />out that most body shops schedule their work, order parts and have <br />them delivered when they need them. Knudsen pointed out that <br />this property looks like an auto salvage yard. <br />Carlson reported that there are 400 auto body shops in the Metro <br />area and most require new and /or used parts. <br />Knudsen pointed out that the problem is that this property looks <br />like a junkyard and there are parts laying all around it. Keis <br />indicated that parts will have to be stored inside. Carson suggested <br />that an addition could be put on the building to accomplish the <br />inside storage. <br />The Zoning Administrator noted that the grass area at the rear of <br />the property will have to be surfaced in an acceptable material if it <br />is used for outdoor storage. Carlson reported that Mr. Valento is <br />planning to surface this area with recycled Class 5. <br />Page 124 <br />
