6/20/18 City of Hugo Planning Commission: JUa Z, 2016 BY: Lbw The purpose of this information is to clarify information in regard to the applied for conditional use permit.; for 5725 148th St. N currently owned by Scott and Susan Kersten and operating the business of Kersten's Auto Sales. Chad and Ann Nelson are the owners of Automotive Reflections and have interest in purchasing the above referenced property. Automotive Reflections is in the business of auto body repair. The estimation process involves a quick 15 minute evaluation at which time the customer will leave with their written estimate. Any vehicle that is towed to the premises will be brought back into the fenced area for approximately 1-2 days until the insurance adjuster comes to inspect. Large transporters with damaged vehicles will not be accessing this area. Proposed business hours would be Monday -Friday 7:30 AM to 6 PM. There are 6 staff members who work at Automotive Reflections. 3-4 parking spaces would be needed outside the fence. Any stored vehicles will either be inside the building or secured within the fenced area. Customer parking will be on the north side of the building with only 1-2 customers at any given time. Business operations for Automotive Reflections will not include storage of miscellaneous items outdoors. Overhead doors would remain open in good weather as they are now. The building does have heat but does not have A/C except in the office area. Noise levels would be the very similar to those now with the operation of Kersten's. There will be no vehicles for sale. All parking for the surrounding businesses of SA, Key Auto and Premier Bank would remain as they are and have been since the 2008 meeting. The area designated as deferred parking is on the property of Key Auto. The building will have signage according to limits and/or restrictions assigned by the city. Lighting appears appropriate for the site as does the fencing that has been in place (chain link) since 2008. The trash container is stored inside the building until pick up day which at that time it is wheeled out. Gene's Disposal has no issues accessing the container from within the fenced area. In regards to improvements/fixes, there may be some cosmetic improvements as necessitated but no immediate plans at this time. There is no landscaping to be done or maintained. The asphalt was repaired and resurfaced two years ago along with re -striping of the parking areas. In conclusion, the prospective business of Automotive Reflections does not impose any changes to the site plan already in place. Not in parking, operations or impact on the surrounding area. All items remain the same other than that 1-2 customers may be at the business at any given time during hours of operation. Thank you for your consideration, Scott and Susan Kersten
