Cathy LeValle. A little apprehensive over the height of the building but happy to see
something new on the property. She also questioned access to Main Street by the home of
Rich Defoe.
It was suggested that resolving the driveway matter is a subject that the PUD agreement
can cover. Mr. Johnson indicated that he could try to broker an arrangement where Defoe
would use LaValle Drive, which is currently a private shared road. It was suggested that
Mr. Defoe could contribute property to add to the existing drive and create a public street.
After everyone who wished to do so was given an opportunity to speak in regard to
the project, a motion was made by Commissioner Montain, seconded by
Commissioner Koski to close the public hearing. All present voted in favor. The
motion was declared passed.
The Commissioners discussed the project and asked a number of questions. It was pointed
out by Administrator Larson that the project will require a PUD agreement. The agreement
will commit the developer to all aspects of the project and may not be changed without an
amendment to the agreement approved by the City. The agreement will cover things like
number of units, building height, landscaping, use of the lake and shoreline, and other
relevant things.
Motion made by Commissioner Koski to recommend approval of the preliminary
subdivision and preliminary plan for the planned unit development. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Mosher, all present voted in favor. The motion was
declared passed.

st
1.AK Auto Sales, LLC Request for Conditional Use Permit(7055 21 Avenue)
Mr. Austin McKinzie explained their proposal to operate an auto repair and used car sales business
st
at 7055 21 Avenue. They would share the property with the owner, Matt Vessel, who has a
paving business at that location. McKinzie would rent the front part of the building and the paved
area in front of the business. Used cars would be displayed on the paved area in front of the
building.

junk cars. A conditional use permit would regulate many aspects of the activities that could
become a nuisance.

hearing for October 7, 2014, at 6:30 p.m., on the proposed conditional use permit for AK
