Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: "Move to adopt Resolution No
Z89 -10 recommending approval of a Conditional Use Permit to operate an
auto sales lot with conditions ".
Approval of this Conditional Use Permit will allow Dexis Corporation
to operate an auto sales lot for used and collectible automobiles at
420 Mainstreet.
Overview.
The applicant, Dexis Corporation, operates and sells collectible
automobiles. The applicant is proposing to locate in an existing
vacant building at 420 Mainstreet.
Si ce the business does not sell the average type cars, a large
display lot is not needed. The display lot that is on the site plan
shows a car display area for 24 cars. This number may vary depending
on the turnover of the cars.
The applicant is proposing 2500 square feet for office and showroom
and 5000 square feet for vehicle cleanup. There will be no major,
repair or body work done on the site.
Staff is recommending approval because the

Detailed Background.
The following are the requirements for an auto sales lot in a B -3
district:
1. the sales lot shall not be larger in square footage than the
square footage of the building devoted to the related
business;
2. the 20 feet required front yard shall be landscaped and should
the front yard be less than 20 feet due to non- conforming use,
a permanent barrier at least 18 inches high shall separate the
sales lot from the public walk;
3. lighting of the sales lot shall be totally from indirect
lighting;
4. should the lot abut an R district, an acceptable design of
screening fence five feet in height shall be constructed along
the abutting lot line;
5. the auto sales lot shall not include vehicles over a 9,000 lb.
rated weight.
The subject site is surrounded on three sides by auto related uses.
Rudy Luthers Hopkins Honda is to the north, the Hopkins Car Wash and
Walser Chrysler Plymouth are to the east, and a business to the west.
The rear of the site is a wholesale /distribution company.
Site Improvements.
The exterior of the building is brick and in good repair. The
applicant will clean up and trim the landscaping in the front. No
exterior remodeling is planned at this time.
Primary issues to consider.
o Does the proposed auto sales lot meet the requirements for a
Conditional Use Permit?
The applicant meets all the requirements as outlined in the detailed
background. The applicants business is blocked from the residential
district to the south by another building and a railroad right -of -way.

o Does the site have adequate parking spaces for all of the
businesses occupying the site?
One of the concerns of the staff is the parking situation with the
proposed auto lot and the wholesale /distribution company to the rear.
The business in the rear has not been a problem in the past, but we
do not know how the new use and the existing operation will function
together on the site.
The applicants operation is required to have 8 off - street parking
spaces. The site plan shows 12 off - street parking spaces and 24 spaces
for car displaying.
The business to the rear is required to have 6 parking spaces. The
parking area for the rear business is south of the applicants parking.
The applicants parking lot is divided with the parking area to the
east with curb stops. This will prevent the parking lots from sharing
parking and allow the applicants parking lot to function on its own.
The applicant is required to mark the parking area. The staff is
recommending that the customer parking be clearly marked for the
customers.
One nice feature of the applicants type of business, is that
additional parking can always be obtained by reducing the number of
display cars. I would recommend that six months after the applicants
occupy 420 Mainstreet that the Planning Commission review the parking
situation on the site, and if changes are needed, the applicant be
required to provide more off - street parking.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the Conditional Use Permit for an auto sales lot at
420 Mainstreet. By approving the Conditional Use Permit the
applicant will be able to operate an auto sales lot.
2. Approve the Conditional Use Permit for an auto sales lot at
420 Mainstreet with conditions. By approving the Conditional
Use Permit with conditions the applicant will be required to
return to the Planning Commission in six months for a review
of the parking situation.
3. Deny the Conditional Use Permit for an auto sales lot at 420
Mainstreet. By denying the Conditional Use Permit the
applicant will not be able to operate an auto sales lot. The
Commission will have to state findings of fact which support
the denial.
4. Continue for further information. If the Commission feels
that further information is needed, the item should be
continued.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROPOSAL
420 Mainstreet, Hopkins, MN
July 7,1989
Submitted by
DEXIS Corporation
BUSINESS PURPOSE:
DEXIS Corporation proposes to establish an auto sales business at
420 Mainstreet, Hopkins. The main business will be the sales of
collectible automobiles such as Corvettes, and cars of the 50's,
60's and 70's. In Minnesota, this type of car sales is seasonable,
and therefore, during the off season other types of more
conventional vehicles will be sold. The corporation's owners have
previous experience in this type of business, and view a Hopkins
Mainstreet location as very desirable.
BUILDING AND SITE UTILIZATION:
The site is located in an area of other car dealers, a carwash, and
a Burger King. The building contains an office area and showroom
area of approximately 2500 square feet, and a warehouse /car cleanup
area of approximately 5000 square feet. Vehicle cleanup and minor
repair will be done on site, however, no body or paint work will
be done. Proposed are a display lot for 24 vehicles, and off
street parking for 6 customers, and 6 employees. These are
consistent with zoning and site requirements. The rear bay is
occupied by a whosale / distribution company and presents no
conflict in site usage.
•
-2-
BUILDING AND SITE AESTHETICS:
The site is currently landscaped in a desirable manner, however,
due to vacancy, trimming and minor replanting are required, and
will be accomplished. The building exterior is brick and block,
and is in good repair. The interior is also in good repair,
however, minor redecorating will be required. No exterior building
modifications are planned. Signs and lighting will be in
conformance with applicable requirements.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATIONS
Attached to this proposal is a site plan, a zoning map site
location, a copy of the zoning ordinance relating to auto
sales lots, and a set of photographs of the site from various
angles. A diagram on the rear of each photo indicates the site
location of each photo.
