�J Budget Rent-A-Car, Case No. 1827 Page 2 4. With this objective in mind, we have talked again with Mr. Murlowsky suggesting: that he present such evidence at the Planning Commission and Council hearings to the extent that is practical. 5. The temporary development proposal is generally indicated in the sketch. An 8 foot high chain link fence is proposed around the periphery of the property. In front yard areas contiguous to public streets, a maximum height of 4 feet is allowed. Therefore, this is a matter of concern if the fence is to be maintained over a period of time. No landscaping is proposed as a part of the temporary use, nor is there any hard surface proposed for the parking areas, or curbing of the periphery of such parking areas. An office trailer is proposed to be moved to the site to function as a temporary office facility. There is no water and sewer at the site, but portable sanitary facilities will be aboard the trailer (Mr. Murlowsky informs us). On the drawing you will note "6-WP outlets" located on the west side of the site. Mr. Murlowsky informs us that this means "weather protected electrical outlets". 6. It is, of course, not usual or necessary that a new business move into the community and occupy a temporary location while permanent facilities are being planned, approved, and constructed. In this case, the Budget Rent-A-Car people tell us that they simply want to get going 'for this year's market season rather than wait until the new facility is finished. We noted that the procedure is unusual and in most communities would not be considered. There is also the question as to whether or not it is fair to other operators who have developed in accordance with the regulations in a nearby location. The Hertz -Penske operation is a prime example. 7. On the other side of the coin, the desire to redevelop in an attractive = and useful manner a parcel that has been a matter of local concern for some time is also a noteworthy objective. Perhaps it comes down to an evaluation of a realistic appraisal of the timing and degree of accomplishmFnt that is practical and possible. ".s noted, we have suggested that the Mr. Murlowsky be prepared to address this question. 8. If it is desired to proceed with the temporary use permit, a Special Use Permit can, of course, be approved with conditions. One such condition would be the length of the permit to be applied (perhaps one year). Another idea that might improve the temporary appearance of the site would be to set the fence 20 feet back from the public right-of-way and seed this area with grass. Twenty feet is a normal required setback for parking in the Industrial Districts on the public right-of-way.
