MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 8, 1999 Keis summarized that if no additional uses are added to the site, the terms and conditions of the 1983 CUP would be in effect. If the towing company stores its tow trucks on the site, the CUP would need to be amended and additional conditions would be placed on the site, such as the requirement of paving for the entrance area and employee parking. Keis suggested that the Planning Commission could recommend a six - month time period within which Mr. Carle would have to do the paving. The City Planner suggested that the Planning Commission can act on the application for CUP amendment, place the conditions it feels necessary on the CUP, and then Mr. Carle can decide whether or not to activate the permit. If the permit is not activated within six months, it would lapse. The Planner also pointed out that whether or not Mr. Carle activates the permit, the code enforcement issues identified by the City would still be pursued. Montour asked if a new CUP application was needed given the original for the impound lot is now being changed to reflect the office use and the storage of tow trucks. The City Planner indicated that the application before the Commission was sufficient. The Code Enforcement Officer recommended that the conditions which should be placed on the permit include paving of the entrance area and employee parking area, curbing as needed, and marking of the parking lot with designated parking spaces. The City Administrator recommended that Mr. Carle be required to submit an updated site plan with better dimensions on the storage areas and showing where the tow trucks will be parked, to ensure future compliance with the CUP requirements. Montour asked if any approval should clearly state that the primary use of the site continues to be a landscaping business. The City Planner felt that was not necessary, but pointed out that the CUP should set a specific limit on the number of tow trucks to be stored on the site. Montour asked about a limit on the hours of operation. The consensus of the Commission was not to limit the hours of operation given the location of the business. Mr. Keis recommended approval of a Conditional Use Permit allowing the storage of up to four tow trucks on the property at 3101 Country Drive 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, marking 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 Page 29
