- 10 - <br />Councilman Baumgartner commented that the reason for fencing as stated in the <br />Planning Commission minutes was that residential property is located across <br />Spring Lake Road. <br />Mr. Shelquist commented that the Council should impress upon the operators that <br />the Ordinance will be enforced and the operation examined at re- licensing time. <br />They can be an asset to the community if they abide by the conditions. <br />Motion (Johnson) To set a special hearing on the proposed car lot for <br />October 15, 1974 and to notify residents living in and around approximately <br />500 -600 feet of the closest corner and direct the Staff to investigate the <br />background of the proposed operators and Chief Grabowski to check on the <br />individuals background. <br />The motion died for lack of a second. <br />Mr. Goetz stated there were no people living within 500 feet and couldn't see <br />that they would bother anyone. <br />Councilman Johnson stated the Staff and Police Departments should investigate <br />the gentlemen and he felt certain conditions should be imposed in the licensing <br />agreement. <br />Attorney Meyers gave suggestions as to conditions that might be imposed. He <br />suggested that the three exhibits presented tonight be marked by the Clerk and <br />kept on file so the Council would have something to refer back to. The blue print <br />was marked Goetz, Cox Exhibit #1, the picture schematic, Goetz, Cox Exhibit #2 <br />and the photograph Goetz, Cox Exhibit #3. All dated 9/9/74 by the Clerk. <br />Councilman Johnson asked Attorney Meyers how we could control the extent of the <br />repair to do done. <br />Attorney Meyers stated that auto repair is a permitted use under B -3 but it could <br />be stated that all repairs be done in the building. <br />A resident who had been a member on Lakeside Park expressed concern that oil may <br />accumulate at the storm sewer opening by Spring Lake. This had happened <br />previously with the former business. He was told there is a holding tank on the <br />premises and the operators stated they would be using this. <br />Councilman Hodges stated the former problem was corrected by the installation <br />of the holding tank. <br />Councilman Johnson still questioned the definition of a late model car. By his <br />calculations, four years. <br />Attorney Meyers stated it may not be a reasonable restriction to state an exact <br />year. <br />D'Arcy Bosell commented that the body style of a '68 Corvett is considered a <br />late model. She felt "late model" was an ambiguous term. <br />MS (Baumgartner - Pickar) To approve the used car license application for Mr. Goetz <br />and Mr. Cox subject to satisfying the requirements of the Planning Commission <br />minutes as of August 28, 1974, that they use existing lighting, that no flags <br />other than areal flags be used, no outside storage of parts, no junk vehicles, <br />no additional signs other than those approved through the City Administration, <br />all repairs will be conducted in the building and only on those vehicles subject <br />to resale on their lot or repair of a car that was just sold.
