MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 24, 2013 LITTLE CANADA ROAD IMPROVEMENT CUP - 3176 RYAN LANE — FISCHER Blesener reported that there is an error in the latest City newsletter issue. The article headline indicates that the Little Canada Road project from I35E to Edgerton Street will not begin until 2014. Blesener reported that the project will begin in 2013. The decision to proceed with the project this year was made at the July 10'" meeting based on input received from the contractor. Mayor Blesener opened the Public Hearing to consider application for Conditional Use Permits allowing two Major & Minor Auto Repair Uses at 3176 Ryan Lane as requested by Russ Fischer. It was noted that the Code Enforcement Officer and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permits subject compliance with the recommendations of the Code Enforcement Officer as outlined in her July 9, 2013 report and subject to verification that parking meets Code requirements. The City Planner reported that Russ Fischer has applied for CUPs for two auto repair major and minor licenses. One such license is currently active for this property and Mr. Fischer will be renting to a new tenant seeking a second auto repair major and minor licenses. The Planner reported that given the applicant has proposed some changes to the site plan, the CUPs for both businesses have come up for review. The City Planner reported that the Code Enforcement Officer has reviewed the application and outlined recommendations for approval as outlined in her July 9, 2013 report. He noted that one open issue was whether or not there was adequate on -site parking. The Code requires 17 parking spaces for this property based on its use. The Planner indicated that he visited the site and it appears the property can easily comply with this Code requirement. A new site plan has been submitted showing compliance. The Planner pointed out that the 17 parking spaces can be used for employee and customer parking. Material storage is not allowed within the required parking. The Planner also noted that the Fire Marshal has inspected the property and finds compliance with the Fire Code. Blesener asked if Fischer already had a second auto repair tenant. Fischer replied that he did. The tenant is waiting for approvals before moving into the property. Montour asked about screening. Fischer indicated that the appropriate screening is already in place. 2
