Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 17, 1999 Page 9 1 Ms. Fitzgerald reiterated her concern about the trash dumpster being within view. Bergstrom 2 responded that within a year, he believed the view of the property in general would be signifi- 3 cantly improved. 4 Horst wished to respond to Ms. Fitzgerald's question regarding service hours. Horst asked Mr. 5 Kellison if the service hours would be shorter than the business hours. Mr. Kellison responded 6 that he believed the service hours would be on an eight-hour shift. 7 Stille asked Mr. Kellison if the doors to the building would be left open during repair, or did the 8 business have an enclosed ventilation system in place so that noise could be contained inside the 9 building. Mr. Kellison responded that the business had a complete ventilation system required to by Code and that all doors could be closed to alleviate noise concerns. Mr. Kellison wished to 11 state that the business would sell all new equipment. 12 Jim Higgins, 2712 St. Anthony Boulevard, asked about the future location of the liquor store and 13 the fire station. He questioned whether the Commission is jeopardizing the ability to plan for 14 these locations in the future. 15 Bergstrom responded that the Commission was attempting to move along a viable project, but 16 not at the expense of stalling any projected plans for the liquor store or fire station. Mr. Hagens 17 asked if the Commission was hoping that other retail would arrive in anticipation of available 18 space. Bergstrom clarified that the liquor store and fire station are at the other edge of the 19 property and he did not believe this would be an issue. 20 Dan Ganley, 3201 Wendhurst, asked if the City would be responsible for the cost of maintaining 21 the proposed green space. Morrison clarified that maintenance of the green space would be a 22 separate contract. Ganley asked if the conditional use permit allowing the sale of recreational 23 vehicles would apply towards other merchants in the shopping center. Bergstrom clarified that 24 the current application would not provide for unusual allowances and that The Hitching Post 25 would be conducting business as allowed under current requirements. 26 27 Horst stated that Mr. Krier had suggested the shopping center had retail viability and that a 28 Master Plan has been developed in accordance with those suggestions. However, Horst cau- 29 tioned that all plans have not been finalized and it is the intent to make the shopping center into a 30 showplace for the City and the surrounding area. 31 Richard Kriber requested clarification regarding any auto repair taking place at The Hitching 32 Post. Mr. Kellison clarified that the classification of auto repair was used on the application 33 because there would be trailer hitches installed on vehicles. Mr. Kellison assured Mr. Kriber that. 34 auto repair would not take place at The Hitching Post. 35 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 9:10 p.m. and requested input from the 36 Commissioners.
