Overview.
Matt's Auto Service, Inc. is proposing to move to the rear of the parking area of Hopkins
Auto Body at their new site at 1300 Second Street South. Matt's Auto Service is proposing
to occupy the back parking area and occupy 58 parking spaces. A conditional use permit is
required for any use that is not totally conducted within a building. The applicant is not
proposing to have a building within the parking area.

impound lot for the residents in the City.

^ Primary Issues to Consider.
o What is the zoning of the property?
The property is zoned I-1.
o What has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
The Comprehensive Plan has the subject site guided for industrial. uses.
o What are the specifics of the development?
Parking
The area used for parking can accommodate approximately 58 cars. The Ordinance requires
the parking area to be a bituminous surface. Staff is recommending that the parking area has a
bituminous surface by June 1, 1995. The site has an additional 130 parking spaces for the
other uses on the site.
Access
Access to the site will be from County Road 3. The applicant will use the e�sting access
--� point on the property.
Fencing
The applicants area will be fenced with a 6 foot chain link fence. Staff is recommending that
the entire site is screened. This will require the applicant to put slats in the chain link fence.
Surrounding uses
East -Nine Mile Creek
West - Proposed Hanus Bus Facility
North - Hopkins Auto Body Building
South - Proposed Hanus Bus Facility
Signage
The applicant has not detailed any signage for the impound lot. If signage is desired in the
future, any sign will have to meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
o What will be the impacts to the existing business?
The impacts to the existing business at most times should be minimal. The applicants business
^ does not generate a great deal of traffic with employees and customers at most times.

However, during a snow removal period and many cars are towed the site could become quite
busy. Staff is recommending that if the applicant remains on the site past November 1, 1995,
the conditional use permit is reviewed for any negative impacts. �`'�
o What are the staff recommendations?
Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use pernut to operate an auto storage
facility with the following conditions:
o That if the applicant remains as a tenant for more than one year, the area use
by the applicant must have a bituminous surface by June 1, 1995.
o That there are no buildings constructed on the applicants site.
o That the entire site has a screened fence
o That there are no demolished cars stored on the site.
o There shall be no dismantling of cars on the site.
o That the conditional use permit is reviewed one year after approval.
Alternatives
1. Recommend approval of the conditional use permit. By recommending approval of the
conditional use pernut, the City Council will consider a recommendation of approval.
2. Recommend denial of the conditional use permit. By recommending denial of the
conditional use permit, the City Council will consider a recommendation of denial. If the
Commission chooses this alternative, findings of fact will have to be stated that support —
this decision.
3. Continue for further information. If the Planning Commission indicates that further
information is needed, the item should be continued.
