Councilman Baumgartner commented that the reason for fencing as stated in the
Planning Commission minutes was that residential property is located across
Spring Lake Road.
Mr. Shelquist commented that the Council should impress upon the operators that
the Ordinance will be enforced and the operation examined at re- licensing time.
They can be an asset to the community if they abide by the conditions.
Motion (Johnson) To set a special hearing on the proposed car lot for
October 15, 1974 and to notify residents living in and around approximately
500 -600 feet of the closest corner and direct the Staff to investigate the
background of the proposed operators and Chief Grabowski to check on the
individuals background.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Goetz stated there were no people living within 500 feet and couldn't see
that they would bother anyone.
Councilman Johnson stated the Staff and Police Departments should investigate
the gentlemen and he felt certain conditions should be imposed in the licensing
agreement.
Attorney Meyers gave suggestions as to conditions that might be imposed. He
suggested that the three exhibits presented tonight be marked by the Clerk and
kept on file so the Council would have something to refer back to. The blue print
was marked Goetz, Cox Exhibit #1, the picture schematic, Goetz, Cox Exhibit #2
and the photograph Goetz, Cox Exhibit #3. All dated 9/9/74 by the Clerk.
Councilman Johnson asked Attorney Meyers how we could control the extent of the
repair to do done.
Attorney Meyers stated that auto repair is a permitted use under B -3 but it could
be stated that all repairs be done in the building.
A resident who had been a member on Lakeside Park expressed concern that oil may
accumulate at the storm sewer opening by Spring Lake. This had happened
previously with the former business. He was told there is a holding tank on the
premises and the operators stated they would be using this.
Councilman Hodges stated the former problem was corrected by the installation
of the holding tank.
Councilman Johnson still questioned the definition of a late model car. By his
calculations, four years.
Attorney Meyers stated it may not be a reasonable restriction to state an exact
year.
D'Arcy Bosell commented that the body style of a '68 Corvett is considered a
late model. She felt "late model" was an ambiguous term.
