4Iunds View City Council Page Three <br /> egular Meeting January 11, 1993 <br /> Orduno stated that there is another auto sales business in the City and <br /> that the two businesses should conform to the same conditions. The <br /> conditions would include a site plan for 38 cars and 8 visitor spaces, <br /> a landscaping plan, a route plan (which was required of Saturn) <br /> indicating where the cars would be test driven keeping them out of the <br /> residential districts, and striping of the lot. Reasonable time should <br /> be given for the striping, such as until September 1, as well as <br /> implementation of the landscaping plan. <br /> Orduno stated that the business owner, Jeff Weldon, in a recent meeting <br /> had asked if the hours for his business be changed from 8:30 a.m. to <br /> 8: 00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Fridays <br /> and Saturdays. Orduno further stated that staff is recommending that <br /> the license be reviewed in 60 days for conformance to the site plan <br /> and again in September. The license would be reviewed annually. <br /> Kevin Mullins, previous owner of Mid-American Auto, 2975 Highway 10, <br /> stated that Mr. Weldon and Mr. Bloom have entered into a lease <br /> agreement with him. Mr. Mullins stated that some new fencing has been <br /> erected and some change in location of fencing has been accomplished <br /> creating more room on the lot. A site plan has been prepared which <br /> • indicates where the additional customer parking will occur and, <br /> therefore, the changes have allowed additional space for merchandising <br /> of automobiles. Mr. Mullins stated that there is a need for more <br /> inventory on the lot. Mr. Mullins encourages the Council to consider <br /> allowance of more merchandise to be allowed for sale on the lot. Mr. <br /> Mullins thanked the Council for the support given to him over the years <br /> and hopes the City Council gives Mr. Weldon and Mr. Bloom the same <br /> support. <br /> Jeff Weldon, owner of Auto Central, Inc. , would like to meet with the <br /> City Planner and go over a site plan. <br /> Mayor Linke encouraged Mr. Weldon to contact the City. Mayor Linke <br /> stated that if there is more room on the lot for more cars and the site <br /> plan conforms to the Code it could be considered. <br /> Richard Steinholtz, non-resident of the City, stated that he has <br /> purchased an automobile from Auto Central, Inc. and received excellent <br /> service and is very happy with the automobile he purchased. Mr. <br /> Steinholtz stated that, in his opinion, Auto Central, Inc. is a <br /> positive asset to the community and the industry that they represent <br /> and that he is pleased to be a customer and share his opinion with the <br /> Mounds View residents. <br /> Councilmember Blanchard stated that she used to receive many calls from <br /> persons on Spring Lake Road regarding the way the business was <br /> 411 conducted by Mr. Mullins.
