Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes June 17, 1997 Page 3 1 Chair Bergstrom noted the Commission had reviewed the proposal at their May meeting as a 2 concept review and asked Mr. Rosar to explain the specifics of the proposal. 3 Mr. Rosar noted that all that was required of him by the conditional permit was to pave the 4 driveway and he could leave the building as it is. He felt the proposed expansion was much 5 better than what was currently there. 6 Mr. Rosar explained one bay will be added to the north side of the building and two bays and 7 a car wash on the south side of the building. A new roof will be constructed on the entire 8 building. The parking lot will be paved and a catch basin will be installed to address a 9 drainage problem. 10 Mr. David Darrell, Architect of the project, noted the proposed building will be 75% new. 11 The existing portion of the building will be remodeled, landscaping will be done and the 12 driveway will be paved. The proposal will replace an eyesore. 13 Commissioner Franzese asked if the doors would be closed with the addition of the bays. 14 Mr. Rosar stated that in the summer the business will generally operate with the doors open. 15 He noted Goodyear and Tires Plus operate with the doors open and again stated this is a 16 commercial area. He did not foresee much increase in the muffler business but only in the oil 17 change and car wash which are drive-through operations. 18 Commissioner Horst noted that the original proposal for this site had included landscaping and 19 the repair of the driveway. He asked why these items were not rectified then. 20 Mr. Rosar stated he had purchased the property from C.G. Rein and had been promised that 21 CUB and Knox would be locating in Apache Plaza. Those businesses did not come. Without 22 those businesses, he was considering selling the property. He stated he was willing to provide 23 the City with a security bond to guarantee the improvements. 24 Commissioner Horst stated he felt this-was the best use of the property and apologized to Mr. 25 Rosar for the deceptions he had faced. 26 Chair Bergstrom noted the conditional use permit which the Exhaust Pro was currently 27 operating under was granted in 1994 and included conditions as to landscaping, hours of 28 operation, signage, and outdoor vehicle storage limitations. He asked if the existing 29 conditions were acceptable for the proposed expansion. 30 Mrs. Karen Rosar stated the business was operating well within the established hours of 31 operation but expressed concern that it may be desirable for the car wash to be open on 32 Sunday as it would be fully automated. 33 Mr. Rosar stated it was hard to determine what the hours of operation would be because it 34 would be dependent on customer demand. He noted the oil change may be open on Sunday
