• • • Planning & Zoning Board September 10, 1997 Page 14 Mr. Dunn accepted the amendment. The motion passed, 6 -0 -1 (Mr. Robinson abstained). In response to Mr. Matt Keiger's concerns about activities for teenagers, Mr. Robinson suggested requiring developers to contribute to a teen center. Mr. Brixius responded that the City can collect fees for park dedication purposes, and the City may wish to dedicate a portion of those funds for a teen facility. However, he cautioned against the City charging another fee beyond parks and trail dedication. Mr. Dunn suggested a discussion of a teen facility be added to the "Discussion Items" on the Board's agenda. D. Public Hearing, Dean Quimby (B & E Furniture Building), 7313 Lake Drive Conditional Use Permit Chair Schaps declared the public hearing open at 10:00 p.m. Ms. Wyland noted the new zoning ordinance requirements for a conditional use permit and summarized Mr. Quimby's request for a conditional use permit to allow an automobile services use of the B & E Furniture building which is 8,640 square feet. The applicant plans to rent half of the building and use the other half for the automobile service business. Staff is recommending that the condition in the zoning ordinance that prohibits outside storage, storage of damaged vehicles or vehicles being repaired be waived for this application. A text amendment to the zoning ordinance will be prepared and will require a public hearing. It will be scheduled for the next Board meeting. With the zoning ordinance amendment and the conditions stated in the staff report, it is recommended that this application be approved. Mr. Herr asked if it is unusual for the city to be involved with the hours of operation of a business, as stated in condition No. 11. Ms. Wyland responded that the new zoning ordinance does require stipulation of business hours for certain uses. Automobile services is one such use. Mr. Dunn asked if traffic will be impacted by this business. Ms. Wyland stated that the building was previously used for a retail business. A traffic analysis was not conducted for the proposed automobile service. There was some discussion about the American Legion locating on this site with some neighbors being opposed to that proposal. There was no opposition to this request. Mr. Quimby stated that his father started the business 20 years ago. It is a very small shop that needs to be expanded because their client base is growing.
