RUDY LUTHER'S HOPKINS MOTORS - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: The request by
Rudy Luther for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a temporary
building is approved by resolution with conditions.
On May 15, 1987, Rudy Luther was granted a Conditional Use Permit for
an Auto Sales Lot on the southwest corner of 5th Avenue & Mainstreet.
At that time, two variances were also approved; one for the square
footage of the sales lot and the second for the front yard setback.
The plan that was submitted and approved showed no buildings on the
site. Rudy Luther is now proposing to put a 10'x12' building on the
site.
o Is the proposed building suitable for a permanent
building?

BACKGROUND.
Name of Applicant: Rudy Luther's Hopkins Motors
Address of Property: Southwest corner of 5th Ave. &
Mainstreet
Present Zoning: B -3
Nature of Request:
Reason for Request: The applicant is proposing a 10'x12'
building on the leased railroad property.
The building will have 8" vertical siding and will be shingled. The
height of the building is 8 feet.
The building is proposed to be on the site for at least one year. No
date was given by the applicant as to when it will be removed.
The building will be used for storage and an office.
ANALYSIS.
The building that is being proposed will not only be used for storage
but as office space. The staff feels that because this building will
be used as an office the building should be reviewed and their
Conditional Use Permit revised to reflect a building on the site.
The applicant stated in his letter that this building will be
temporary. It will be located on the site at least one year. The
letter does not state when the building will be removed. The proposed
building is to be placed on the leased property from Hennepin County.
Because the future of this property at this point is unknown, the
applicant does not want to put a permanent building on the site. If
Hennepin County does not make a decision on the fate of the property,
this "temporary" building could become permanent.
The staff is not necessarily opposed to the applicant putting a
permanent building on the site, but do not want this temporary
structure to become permanent. The type of building proposed is
usually used as a secondary storage structure. It is the type that is
usually located in a rear yard setback.
ALTERNATIVES.
1. Approve the Conditional Use Permit for the office /storage
building. This would allow the applicant to construct
the building as proposed by the applicant.
2. Deny the Conditional Use Permit for the office /storage
building.

3. Approve the Conditional Use Permit for the office /storage
building with conditions. This would allow the applicant
to construct the building but with conditions as proposed
by the Commission.
4. Continue for further information. If the Commission
feels that more information is needed to make a decision,
the item should be continued.
