Planning File 1619 Solar Car Wash, Special Use Permit, B-3 at 1315 West Larpenteur. Presentation Mr. Blais discussed the location of the project, and the fact that a Special Use Permit would be needed for the car wash. He discussed a number of unique features relating to the area, particularly with respect to the foundation problems that Arthur Treacher's had to face. He also discussed the fact that this was a unique project with respect to car washes, in that an office development would occur above the car wash itself. He also pointed out that a modified plan addressing the entrance and exit was presented. Mr. Brannon, the owner, discussed the other two similar car washes that the family owns, which are in Fridley and St. Louis Park. He showed pictures of the building, and discussed the fact that all of the property owners approve of his structure. He also discussed some of the staff concerns, and stated he will put in a sidewalk, the traffic pattern was modified, he will work with the staff on the final landscape plan, and he has had four designs built on the retaining wall. Once he decides on the best design, he will work with the City staff to ensure that the proposed wall is, indeed, feasible. Johnson asked how high the stalls were with respect to what type of vehicles could be brought into the facility. Brannon stated they are approximately eight feet tall. DeBenedet asked what type of door material was used. Brannon replied that the doors are made in Sweden, and are a combination of aluminum and steel. Berry asked whether the wash was used significantly during the winter months. Brannon replied that seventy percent of the car wash business actually occurs in the winter.
