Harris, Public Works Superintendent DATE: April 17, 1992 RE: Conditional Use Permit For Suburban Auto Body MAYOR Raymond G. Hanson COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Bill Blesener Rick Collova Jim LaVaile ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson After reading the minutes from the Planning Commission meeting of April 9th, 1992 and the Planner's Report to the Planning Commission, I feel that there are a few items that should be brought to your attention in regard to granting the Conditional Use Permit. Enclosed with this memo are pictures that were taken Friday, April 17th with regard to the conditions I am about to describe. In picture #1 it shows vehicles parked in the right -of -way. This was taken at the corner of Country Drive and South Owasso Boulevard. The area directly behind the vehicles is not paved (Picture #2). Suburban Auto Body is using the right -of -way for not only parking vehicles, but access to the street. This is better defined in picture #3. When South Owasso Boulevard was constructed, the area where Suburban Auto Body employees are parking was a grassy area, which has since been destroyed. The width of the grassy area is defined in picture #4. In the winter time, with the vehicles parked in this manner, it has made snowplowing hazardous as there is nowhere to plow the snow onto the City's right -of- way. When Suburban Auto Body plows their parking area, they deposit the snow out on south Owasso Boulevard which not only increases the driving hazards, it is also against City Ordinances for which they have been sent letters in the past. Please consider this information when contemplating conditions for the CUP. DBH:slu Page 774
