Mr. Kane reported that they would be wholesaling cars and would have no retail sales of cars on the location. The cars would be coming from out —of —state and wholesaled at dealer auctions. There is no intent to sell cars to the public from this location. The Planner reported that he was informed that the cars would be displayed at this location. Mr. Kane replied that a dealer may come out occasionally to view the cars. Mr. Costa asked how many cars would be stored at the location. Kane replied that he anticipated six cars. Kane stated that he was willing to live with a restriction as to the number of cars he could have. The Planner pointed out that the site is inadequate. The Planner also stated that his concern was whether this was simply open and outdoor storage or outdoor sales, service and rental. The Planner pointed out that the site is supposed to have 28 parking stalls and does not. Mr. Kane questioned the need for 28 parking stalls on the site when Mr. Schifsky only has 3 employees.

The planner replied that the site would have to he brought into conformance. Mr. Kane asked if he has vehicles on the site now, if he would have to remove them. The Planner stated that they are in violation of the code and subject to tag. The Planner stated that he cannot recommend approval of the request until the site is brought up to code. The Planner felt that if Mr. Kane brought in a letter of intent from the property owners and the parking spaces were designated, the request may be approved.

Mrs. Timmons felt that if the matter can be worked out the Planning Commission could approve the request subject to the Planner's recommendations and with a restriction on the number of cars allowed.
