Planning & Zoning Board January 8, 2025 Page 3 DRAFT MINUTES The applicant, BRF Enterprises, LLC, is proposing to operate an automotive collision/repair shop and towing/recovery company at 416 Lilac Street. Michael Fuhr, 416 Lilac Street, Lino Lakes, MN 55014 was present. Mr. Fuhr requested an increase to the number of days a vehicle could be in the lot from 30 days to 60 days. He stated when vehicles are towed, state statute must be followed for disposing of a vehicle that has not been paid for or claimed. A letter needs to be sent to the owner and then you must wait a period of 45 days before you can do anything with it. This would exceed the allotted time frame for parking. He also addressed the drainage pond and stated they would be working with the City and an engineer to insure the drainage is adequate. He also said the fence would be moved to the back to accommodate more parking in the front. Mr. Root opened the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. No public comments were made. Mr. Kohler moved to close the public hearing. Motion seconded by Mr. Vojtech. The public hearing was closed at 7:08 p.m. Mr. Laden moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit for major and minor automobile repair and a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage with the conditions listed in the staff report but changing the 30-day storage limit for vehicles incapable of movement from 30 days to 90 days. Motion seconded by Mr. Kohler. Motion carried 6- 0. C. Public Hearing: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment for Adult Use Cannabis Mr. Grochala presented the staff report.
