Motion carried <br />North Country Auto Site Plan for Addition <br />The Commission considered the application of North Country Auto Body, Inc., for site plan <br />approval to construct a 7,070 square foot building addition. The proposed addition would consist <br />of new work bays and a customer service area. Architecturally, the addition would provide a <br />"store front" to the building making it more attractive to customers. The applicant also proposed <br />to expand the parking area and construct a chain link fence with privacy slats to screen vehicles <br />awaiting repair. <br />Galen Carlson, owner of North Country Auto Body, said there were two driveways with existing <br />curb cuts, which was not shown on the site plan. Carlson wanted to keep both drives to maintain <br />traffic flow. <br />Malaski asked what type of trees he would be planting and Carlson said he planned on planting <br />evergreens. Malaski cautioned him that southern exposure might not be conducive for <br />evergreens. <br />One of the conditions in the staff report was to combine both properties into one parcel. Carlson <br />said that the County may require it to be replatted. The CD Director said the issue could be <br />addressed on an administrative level. <br />Malaski made motion, Peltier seconded to recommend the site plan for North Country Auto Body, <br />Inc. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />
