Planning Commission Planning Case No. 464-96: 2375 Highway 10 October 9, 1996 Page 9 Access/Test Drive Routes Subd 2. i. Subd 3 1. Vehicular access points shall create a minimum of conflict with through traffic movement, shall comply with Chapter 1121 of this Title and shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. Subd 8 o. Test driving routes and patterns must be submitted and approved prior to operation of an automobile sales lot. The applicant is proposing two driveway entrances on Highway 10 and two on County Road H2, and removal of one of the driveway entrances on the Citgo property. The driveway to be removed is close to the Highway 10/County Road H2 intersection. This will improve traffic patterns in the area and remove a conflict point. The original conditional use permit for Saturn states "A good faith effort shall be made to ensure that test driving of vehicles from the site follow the route highlighted and described on the attached map dated 2/19/92." There is no copy of the map in the file or in the book 4110 of City Council resolutions. Staff is not aware of any problems with test drives. We would recommend that the applicant supply a copy of the map dated 2/19/92 and that this contingency be carried forward, with the map put on file in both the Community Development Department and the book of City Council resolutions. Stacking Space (Car Wash) Subd 2 b. Magazining or stacking space is constructed to accommodate that number of vehicles which can be washed during a maximum thirty(30)minute period and shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. Subd 2 e. Parking or car magazine storage space shall be screened from view of abutting residential districts in compliance with subdivisions 1103.08 (1)through(5)of this Title. The car wash proposed for this site is for customer cars only and not for the general public. Staff feels that the issues noted above do not apply in this case, because the business owner has the ability to control the flow of cars, and the volume of cars is expected to be less than would be the case with a stand alone car wash business. The site does not abut residential districts. The area behind the car wash faces a business, but will be screened by Black Hills Spruce. •
