Consider Conditional Use Permit Request bv J.R. Tech Automotive/P.H. Steve Rohlf, Building and ZonIng Administrator, indicated that J .R. Tech was requesting a conditional use permit to relocate his auto repair business in the former E & 0 Tool building located on west Highway 10. Mr. Rohlf reviewed the stipulations which were recommended by the Planning Commission. Councilmember Dietz stated that he felt a fence would he a better buffer from the park than planting five trees. Mr. Rohlf indicated that the Planning Commission had considered a fence but felt that trees would break up the. harsh site lines. e Councilmember Kropuenske stated that he felt giving the applicant two years to pave the parking lot was excessive. He stated he would be more comfortable with a one year time limit. James Rogness, the applicant, stated that most of the parking lot is already paved and there are only a few areas which are still gravel. Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing. There being no one for or against the matter, Mayor Tralle closed the public hearing. Mayor Tralle agreed with Councilmember Dietz that planting tre~s in th~ middle of tar did not seem like an adequate solution to scre~ning this si te from adjacent park land. Mayor Tralle also indicated that the Ci ty may vacate Hudson Street in the future and that this request should be brought back in two years to address buffering from the park once the City has decided what changes will occur in the park. Councilmember Kropuenske stated he would like to see the parking lot striped and the cars parked in a neat and orderly manner.
