Memo to Planning Commission/CU 01-13 <br /> April 24,2001 <br /> Page 2 <br /> • the definition of a motor vehicle specialty service station,which is allowed as a conditional <br /> use permit in the PUD agreement. <br /> In 2000,the City Council approved a resolution to remove the blanket easement over the <br /> property,in exchange for a better-defined easement for emergency vehicle access along the <br /> south 25 feet of the property. The applicant has now complied with the legal requirements <br /> for the easement vacation. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> The applicant proposes to operate a primarily mobile auto glass repair and replacement <br /> service. He owns Auto Glass Services and has two other sites-Princeton and St. Cloud. <br /> One service van will be housed at this location and will be stored inside overnight. Most of <br /> the repair work is done off-site,with the garage space used for installations during inclement <br /> weather. <br /> HOURS OF OPERATION <br /> The proposed hours of operation will be 8:30 a.m.to 5:00 p.m.,Monday-Friday. Some <br /> work will be done by appointment on weekends. <br /> EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS <br /> • The access to the auto glass repair and replacement area will be from the emergency vehicle <br /> easement. The easement has been posted"no parking" and will be subject to enforcement <br /> by the Fire Department. The auto glass repair and replacement will need to be conducted <br /> entirely within the garage space. <br /> LANDSCAPING <br /> As a condition of approval for the easement vacation, staff recommended a number of <br /> landscaping improvements that were adopted by the City Council. These included <br /> establishing landscaping islands near the Dodge Street entrance, as well as adjacent to the <br /> driveway to the John Oliver facility along the north property line. It was also required to <br /> install additional trees in the expanded landscaped islands. The property owner has one <br /> more year to complete these improvements. <br /> PARKING <br /> City ordinance requires seven parking stalls for the uses within the building. There are 25 <br /> parking stalls identified on the site plan,which exceeds the number required by ordinance. <br /> SIGNS <br /> No new signs have been indicated at this time. An existing pylon sign is located adjacent to <br /> Dodge Avenue and any new sign will be required to receive a sign permit before installation. <br /> III <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PLREPRTS\CU01-13.DOC <br />
