Page 5 expansion plans for Highway 61 show a median at this location. This would mean that access to the site would be right -in and right -out only after the expansion of Highway 61 is constructed. There is no timeline or funding for the road expansion project. 4. The proposed zoning classification will not have unreasonable negative impacts on the adjacent properties The rezoning of the property will allow for more intense uses on the property that may include more traffic, noise, and lights. While the properties to the east are developed with town homes, they are separated from these properties by a wooded area. With proper transitions in the site layout the wooded area could help serve as an acceptable transition to a proposed commercial development.

The applicant is proposing to have 46 parking spaces, which meets the parking requirement for the development. The future "proof of parking" is not needed until the expansion is built. The parking areas will be evaluated at the time the applicant would apply for site plan approval for the expansion. The applicant has stated that they will be repairing personal vehicles and medium duty trucks. The three overhead doors are on the north and east side of the building, with one being on the east side of the building. The applicant has stated that the medium duty trucks will be using the overhead door on the north side.
