MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 24, 2007 CUP FOR INDOOR AUTO SALES - 209 RYAN DRIVE - STANKE Ms. Allan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO.2007-IO-273 - ADJOURNING AS THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS & APPEALS AND RECON-~ENING AS THE CITY COUNCIL The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Mayor Blesener opened the Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use Permit allowing Retail Vehicle Sales (Indoor Only) at 209 Ryan Drive as requested by Roger Stanke. He noted that both the City Planner and the Planning Commission have recommended approval. The City Planner reported that a Conditional Use Permit is required for indoor motor vehicles sales in the I-1 Zoning District, which he pointed out is distinguished from retail sales lots. Under the indoor sales license, all vehicles must be stored inside. The Planner noted that the Stanke building at 209 Ryan Drive is divided into three units. The CUP for the indoor sales license would apply to the middle section of the building. He noted that the plan submitted by the applicant shows the ability to store eight vehicles inside. The Planner noted a recent application for a CUP for indoor sales was denied by the Council given that the applicant was also seeking a license for motor vehicle repair. The Planner noted that the leased location was not large enough to accommodate both indoor storage of vehicles for sale as well as vehicles to be repaired. Roger Stanke reported that vehicle sales will be by appointment only. All vehicles will be stored indoors, there will be no outdoor storage. It was pointed out that while the Code limits the number of retail sales lots, there is no limit on the number of indoor vehicle sales licenses. There was no one present from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Montour, seconded by Allan, the public hearing was closed.
