MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 11, 2013 storage area on the site as well as behind the building. Rossow then noted the proposed location for the three storage containers. Duray asked about the Balta's use of the property. Rossow reported that Balta's brings vehicles in on a flatbed tow truck. These vehicles are repaired and then leave the property. Rossow indicated that Balta's has 6 to 8 people working, so they have a fair amount of vehicles that are being repaired. Balta's does engine and transmission work and not a lot of body work. They do not paint vehicles and have an agreement with Maaco for their paint work. Duray asked if the Major Auto Repair License that Balta's is seeking will change the nature of their business. Rossow stated that it would not and noted that Balta's is already doing major auto repair. The City Planner stated that Major Auto Repair is permitted on the property under a Conditional Use Permit. Outdoor Storage also requires a Conditional Use Permit. The City Planner noted that Balta's moved into the property last fall and occupies the building space and outdoor storage space that was used by the previous tenant. The Planner indicated that the review this evening is to determine what conditions to place on the Conditional Use Permits for the current uses on the property.
