notification to the residents, and send the notice for publication to the newspaper. He stated, if the <br /> Council desires to take the second option, staff would request the applicant be responsible for the <br /> costs involved, and to pay that amount in advance. <br /> Ericson stated that the applicant was present. He stated he had provided pictures of the type of <br /> vehicles the applicant was proposing. <br /> Council Member Marty stated the resolution includes the stipulation prohibits panel trucks, <br /> recreational vehicles, and trailers. He inquired if the applicant was proposing to rent the panel <br /> trucks, as represented in the pictures the Council was provided. <br /> Dave Besonen, representative of Thrifty Car Rental, stated their business does not consist of the <br /> rental of recreational vehicles or trailers, and the concern was in regard to panel trucks. He inquired <br /> regarding the definition of panel trucks. He stated they had provided pictures of what they called <br /> "box trucks,"which are not the 24-foot trucks that are rented by Rider and U-Haul, and no special <br /> license is required to drive them. He stated this was the largest vehicle their facility rents. He stated <br /> they rent 10-foot cargo vans,which are approximately one half the size of the vehicles represented <br /> in the pictures. He stated they also rent 15 and 12-passenger vans,which have the same wheelbase <br /> as the 10-foot cargo vans. <br /> Mr. Besonen stated he believed the main concern was in regard to the 15-foot box trucks. He stated <br /> their business has several offices in the Twin Cities area, and these vehicles are moving constantly. <br /> He stated that one might be parked on the lot for a day or two. He stated they might have two on the <br /> lot one day, and none for a week straight. <br /> Mayor Coughlin stated procedurally, to reconsider a vote, a motion and second would be required <br /> of the individuals previously voting in favor of the resolution. He noted it was a unanimous vote of <br /> the Council at that point, and any member of the Council could move to reconsider. <br /> Council Member Stigney stated he would move to deny an amendment to Resolution 5349. <br /> Council Member Marty inquired if this would allow them to have rental vehicles,just not the box <br /> trucks. Council Member Stigney clarified the only thing that would not be allowed would be panel <br /> trucks,recreational vehicles, and trailers. <br /> Council Member Stigney stated that he was attempting to prevent the situation at the Rent-All <br /> facility,where they have Rider trucks,panel or U-Haul trucks for rent. He stated to start that on the <br /> other side of the City was not what he was interested in. He stated he had seen the trucks and the <br /> extended vans. He noted he did not prohibit the extended vans, although he does not particularly <br /> approve of these either. However, the panel trucks were a stipulation that he brought forth. He <br /> stated he did not mind the rental of vehicles at the location, but the rental of panel trucks was <br /> something he opposed. <br /> Mr.Besonen stated he had noticed Steve's Appliance, located one block away from their business, <br /> presently had five 15-foot box trucks on their lot. He stated he did not know if the concern was in <br /> regard to the rental of these vehicles, or having them sit at the location. He stated these vehicles <br /> 23 C:\ADMIN\MINUTES\CC\8-9-99.CC <br />
