MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 13, 1990 finding a commercial location. Kukk again expressed concern about losing his location. Pedersen stated that in order for him to approve the proposal, the building would have to look like an office building rather than a body shop. Pedersen suggested that the applicant might be required to put a lot of money into the building that he would not have to in another location. Kukk reported that he planned to construct a block building with a brick facade on the front. Kukk stated that their ultimate goal is to run a body shop that works on high -class cars. DeLonais suggested that the applicant put together a plan that will show the Commission what the building will look like, show landscaping, parking, etc. It was suggested that the applicant submit pictures of buildings that look similar to what he is proposing. Pedersen also suggested that the applicant talk to his neighbors to determine their feelings about the proposal. Kukk pointed out that they could continue to do business the way they are, however, realizes that the neighbors will not be happy with the current situation. Kukk stated that they can improve the property at their own initiative, or they feel the City will force improvements. Pedersen stated that he feels it is to the applicant's advantage to look for another location with compatible zoning. Kukk again stated that they do not want to lose their established clientele. Pedersen asked the status of the property under the current zoning. The City Planner replied that the business is grandfathered in. The applicant can fence the property and make interior equipment changes, however, cannot expand the building. Kukk again stated that it is necessary that he be able to put in a spray booth. Page 8
