3. limit retail use to only one of the three units, and, <br />4. provide a minimum of 23 off-street parking spaces if there is a <br />retail use on -site. <br />Mr. Gerner further agreed that the fencing along the east side of the <br />parking area on the railroad property would be a solid wood screen. No <br />council action is required at this time. other than notice of any <br />objections. <br />Mr. Gerner then described his second project, a proposed cabinet <br />shop to be located at 3642(?) Scheuneman Road, the lot immediately <br />north of his homestead. Parking is also an issue here, as the tenant <br />requires maximum building space. Allowing for a variance from the rear <br />yard setback requirement, it appears that only eight parking spaces <br />could be provided. The Commission feels that since the tenant would be <br />purchasing the building under a ten-year lease arrangement and his use <br />is limited to manufacturing, with only 5 employees, and no retail use, <br />we could approve the project with limited -use stipulations. Mr. Gerner <br />will proceed with the site plan process and submit an application for a <br />rear -yard setback variance along with the completed site plan. He also <br />has agreed to thoroughly consider the installation of fire sprinkling <br />eqipment in anticipation of city water being introduced to the area in <br />the near future. No Council action required at this time other than <br />notice of any objections. <br />Mr. Lanny Boyer, dba Continental Motors, resubmitted his appli- <br />cation for a special use permit to operate open storage lots for used <br />automobiles on Scheuneman Road. This application is essentially the <br />same as that denied last month, with the exception that Mr. Boyer <br />withdrew the attachment of conditions as a part of this application. <br />The discussion was lengthy, and occassionally heated, as the <br />Commission focused on the history of violation and lack of cooperation <br />on the part of the applicant and his landlord, and on the appropriate <br />use of this property in the City's long-term plan. Mr. Gerner <br />complained that the use was unsightly in a generally improving <br />neighborhood, and that the lots seem to attract an unsavory clientele <br />as well as vandals; he also made the valid point that the operation was <br />not being subjected to the same setback and landscaping requirements as <br />he. Mr. Boyer indicated that Mr. Johnson has been permanently assigned <br />the responsibility for keeping the lots clean and in compliance, and <br />that he (Boyer) is now anxious to comply with the City's requirements <br />and make a real effort to be a good citizen and improve the physical <br />and functional nature of the operation. While the Commission seemed <br />hostile to the idea, we do recognize that our attorneys, Clerk, and <br />Planning Commissioner have negotiated the proposed settlement over the <br />past year, and that there is a point of honor involved in abiding by <br />the terms of the profferred settlement now that Boyer has agreed to <br />comply. Under the circumstances, and particularly in view of the <br />City's limited ability to police the situation, the Commission felt <br />that Mr. Boyer should not be allowed any leeway in his compliance, and <br />that any violation of the agreement should result in termination of the <br />
