Approve by motion, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to Keith Steies for automobile sales at 11044 167th Avenue, subject to the following conditions: 1. All comments of the city planner letter dated October 16, 2013, shall be addressed. 2. Approval of a landscape plan, meeting all city ordinances. 3. Approval of a final site plan that achieves logical internal traffic movement. 4. As a CUP is not a building permit, the applicant shall obtain all required permits, including approvals from the Fire Chief, City Engineer, and MnDOT. Background On September 16, 2013, the City Council held the public hearing for a CUP request from Keith Steles who is seeking approval to operate a car dealership at 11044 167th Avenue. The CUP for the previous use, RV sales, originally issued in 1989, expired in January 2013, requiring a new CUP. The City Council continued action on the item in order to give the applicant more time to submit the required information. The applicant has since provided proposed site and grading plans, and is working towards meeting established standards. The comment letter dated October 16, 2013, explains outstanding requirements. Access Access to the site will remain the same,utilizing the existing gates. However,the driveways will be narrowed, establishing distinct entrances. Currently,pavement runs the entire length of the north side of the property along 167th Ave. Plans call for removing some pavement to narrow the entrances to a consistent driveway width. Number of stalls The site plan includes parking for 142 vehicles. Additionally,landscaped parking lot islands are required at a ratio of 1 per 15 parking stalls. The site plan includes four islands, and needs to be amended to include six additional ones. Parking lot islands must be landscaped and irrigated. P a w E R E U 6 Y NaA f RE]
