Mr. James <br />replied that the area was not designated as a parking area but that it was hard to <br />keep the customers from parking there, but that they could install no parking signs <br />to help keep the customers from parking in the front. <br />Administrator Achen reported that Crown Auto would be adding two service bays, an <br />additional dumpster and additional curbing if the conditional use permit request <br />was approved. <br />Mayor Pickar asked if there were any anticipated problems with the number of parking <br />spaces.

He also added that putting in curbing might <br />present more problems. <br />Mayor Pickar read from the Planning Commission minutes of November 9, 1977 and noted <br />that they had approved the request, with stipulations that concrete curbing be required <br />along all paved lines and on the striped no- parking area across from the outdor <br />storage, and that a screening fence be continued along the north property line, a <br />minimum of 6' high and opaque, and a screen a minimum of 6' high for the dumpster <br />and outdoor storage and that a development agreement be executed to cover that and <br />screening along the west property line, and striping and labeling of the no- parking <br />area in front of the building, except where the parking spaces are indicated.
