primary Issues to consider.
o Has the applicant complied with the requirements for a
conditional use permit to operate an auto sales lot?
In checking the site there were two cars parked far display
in the front yard setback. These cars are a violation of
the conditional use permit and must be removed because they
are located in the frant yard setback.
Because of the snaw it was difficult to determine the extent
af the landscaping in the frant yard. Hawever, it appears
the there could be same additianal plantings in this area.
staff wauld recammend that the applicant undertake
additional plantings in the frant yard.
The existing operatian has changed slightly from the
original site plan submitted. The custamer parking is now
next to the building instead of near the display cars.
o How will the applicants operations expand?
The applicant will be taking aver the rear partian of the
building and the lct an the west side cf the building. The
new building space cansists af6100 square feet and will be
used as an additional showraam far cars. The parking area
an the west side af the building will be used for emplayee
parking and a sales lat.
There currently is a laading dack in the
west side of the building. This laading
off and the parking lat re-blacktapped.
used as a sales lat.

dack will be closed
This area will be
There will be 5300 square feet af vacant building on the
site. The applicant daes nat have a tenant as of yet.
o What are the requirements for an auto sales lot in the
B-3 district?
1. the sales lat shall nat be larger in square footage
than the square foatage af the building devoted to the
related business;
2. the 20 feet require frant yard shall be landscaped and
shauld the frant yard be less than 20 feet due to non-

4. shauld the lat abut an R district, an acceptable design
of screening fence five feet in height shall be
constructed alang the abutting lat line;
5. the auto. sales lat shall nat include vehicles over a

since the applicants new sales lat will now abut a
residential district, the applicant will be required to.

lot line between their lat and the residential district.
The applicants operatian will meet the requirements for an
