Page 7 September 11, 1995 ~1 ~~J experiences problems with it being open 24 hours, he is not going to keep it open because he does not want to have neighbors mad at him or find vandalism or anything like that. However, two of his other facilities are located within close range to residential areas and he has not experienced any problems with those. His idea is to be a good neighbor. Ms. Trade stated as she understood the primary factor was having an attendant on duty all the time. He did not feel he could break even if he had to have someone there all the time. Mr. Harstad stated aself-service car wash will probably generate 109b of the traffic that Fine next door will. For the number of cars that go through his wash, it is difficult to justify having an attendant on duty the whole time. Dennis Richardson, representing his parents, stated he is a real estate appraiser and he can understand the concerns stated, however he can guarantee that there will not be detriment to the value based on the operations. The fact that the properties are located next to a commercial zone may have some impact on the desirability of the property. He noted that when the presentation was originally made eight years ago the hours of operation were jointly discussed and they wanted to have an attendant at the property at all times because of the concerns that everyone has. However, the other car wash next door and the full service dealer next to them have impacted them and the economics of the car wash haven't been such that it could support this type of operation. Mayor Links closed the Public Hearing. MOTION/SECOND: TrudeBlanchard to Approve Resolution No. 4809 Regarding the Conditional Use Permit for Glen Harstad. VOTE: 3 ayes 2 nay (Quick/Hankner) Motion Fails Ms. Trade asked if she could reintroduce this Resolution 4809, striking Condition #1 and re-numbering the other conditions. Mayor Links noted that Condition #2 must be removed as well. The other issues of the neighbors would be taken care of. MOTION/SECOND: TrudeBlanchard to approve Resolution 4814 striking Condition #1 and #2 as outlined in Resolution 4809, and re-numbering the others accordingly. Ms. Hankner asked how the passing the resolution would make the conditions different from what they currently are. Mayor Links stated one item that differs is that the attendant does not have to be there all hours of operation. It also requires plantings. It also dictates as 12-month review of the amendment. VOTE: 3 ayes 2 nays (Quick/Hankner) Motion Fails Ms. Trade asked how else the council's concerns could be addressed because at this time the Planning Commission feels that this facility needs to change hands and there is not any willing buyer except for one that would like to have some flexibility on the major expenses. The attendant is a major expense for that operation. Ms. Hankner stated she voted against this new Resolution as she was interested in how the residents felt about the attendant issue.
