Planning & Zoning Board <br />February 12, 2003 APPROVED MINUTES <br />Page 2 <br />8 th meeting a number of residents of the Ma ple Street neighborhood spoke about their <br />concerns for the proposed use. The reside nts voiced a number of concerns about past <br />practices on the site, includi ng noise, excess traffic, late/i rregular hours, and parking <br />issues. Residents stated they didn’t want such conditions to reoccur. <br />Board members stated that they would not s upport a rezoning of th e property to any kind <br />of a commercial or industrial us e, but felt that the applicant and residents might be able to <br />come to some agreement/acceptance of use for the site if they could sit down and discuss <br />the issue with one another. Board members st ated that since the site had a conditional <br />use permit for an auto body shop, another such shop could potentially move into the site <br />in the future. Board members advised resi dents that the applicant’s proposed use was <br />lower in intensity than that of another auto body shop, and so it might be in the best <br />interest of the neighborhood to support such a proposed use. <br />Planning & Zoning Board Chairman Schaps then directed the applicant, residents, and <br />staff that the following should take place be fore the next meeting of the Planning & <br />Zoning Board: <br />1.) Staff is to find a way to cover Mr. Pfingsten’s proposed use by means of a <br />Conditional Use Permit. <br />2.) The interested parties (r esidents & Mr. Pfingsten) should meet and, if <br />possible, draw up a list of conditions for inclusion in the Conditional Use <br />Permit. <br />3.) Mr. Pfingsten should provide a complete site plan, specifically noting what <br />vehicles are to be parked on the site, and where. Additionally, Mr. Pfingsten <br />should specifically address the issue of whether any repairs to vehicles are <br />ever to take place on the site. <br />A memo/letter was then sent to the applicant and residents on January 17 th outlining what <br />action should take place before the Februa ry meeting. The memo also included <br />information on a number of issues residents had expressed concern over. <br />Staff presented its analysis by explaining Mr. Pfingsten and residents met on January <br />27 th , and all felt it to be a good meeting. Past hi story and concerns rela ted to the site were <br />discussed, as well as Mr. Pfingsten’s proposed use for the future. Applicant and residents <br />came up with the following list of conditions for the site, which are proposed to be <br />attached to a Conditional Use Permit: <br />1.) Hours of operation: <br />April through October: 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. (or no more than 1 hr. past <br />sunset) <br />Winter months: 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. <br />*(occasional exceptions: storm damage or snow storms) <br />2.)
