The site plan notes that the Auto Company will use 50 percent of the fenced yard illustrated on the plan. The applicant must identify the specific purpose of the use of the fenced yard. Our office was under the impression that the used car operation would have no automobiles on site. If used- autos are to be stored on site, this raises concerns of uncontrolled storage on site which, depending on condition of the autos, could be considered junk and a visual problem on the site. The potential problem of long duration of storage is a detriment to the site and this application. The subject of site conditions has always been an issue in the Ryan Industrial Park. The subject site is in better condition than its neighbors and the possibility of long term storage of cars on this site could detract from its good condition. No specifics are given as to how many employees and customers will be on site at one time or how many parking spaces currently exist on site. The Zoning Ordinance would require eight parking spaces for this use and size of building. RECOM[+ENDATION Based on the information provided to us at time of application, our office would recommend approval of the CUP for used auto sales by appointment if there is no storage of used autos on site. If the intent is to store autos on site, our office raises the concern of the potential for uncontrolled and unlimited time periods of storage of autos which could become an eye sore on the site or could end up being an auto junk yard. If the CUP is approved, it should be based on the following additional items: 1. The applicant identify the number of employees and customers on site at any one time to verify parking requirements and that the site plan illustrates all parking currently on site to verify sufficient parking exists. 2. All signage be revised by the Building Inspector and subject to his review. pc: Kathy Glanzer John Palacio Joseph Eich 2 Page 44
