As an accessory to the principal rental operation, the applicant requests that they be allowed to sell rental vehicles from the site as well. The applicant anticipates that there would be no more than ten cars on the premises at any time, whether they be for rent or sale. The applicant indicates that the proposed hours of business would be from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Sundays. Other than repainting the building and installing company signage, there are no plans to alter the building • This item was discussed at the Commission's meeting on July 7, and the applicant indicated that they would like to expand the parking lot to accommodate additional vehicles. A site plan is attached date -stamped 7/15/99 which shows the area for expansion as well as an area set aside for snow storage. Also discussed at that meeting was the need for landscaping improvements, which the applicant had indicated would be acceptable, though no specific plans have been submitted for this. Staffwill visit the property prior to the meeting on July 21 and will make specific recommendations in this regard. Last, because of the parking lot expansion, staff sent a copy of the proposal to the City Engineer to review possible impacts of the additional run off. Currently there are two catch basins that divert stormwater run off to the Highway 10 drainage ditch. It is expected that the additional impervious surface will increase the flow, but not in any significant volume to warrant further improvements. Staff will orally present the City Engineer's opinion at the meeting.
