Request bv John Bunkers for Conditional Use Permit for Car Wash Detail Shop, Public Hearina - Case No. CU 00-38 Staff report by Steve Wensman. John Bunkers requests a conditional use permit to allow a car wash detail shop in the Barrington Place Planned Unit Development (568 Dodge Avenue). Mr. Wensman explained that Dolphin Carwash plans to delay part of their expansion which was approved last month, and instead, move their detail operation to Mr. Bunker's site. Mr. Wensman reviewed issues related to the site regarding noise, hours of operation, easements, emergency vehicle access, landscaping and parking. Staff recommends approval of the request with the conditions outlined in the staff report. Chair Chambers opened the public hearing. Mr. lynn Caswell, 580 Dodge Avenue, stated that John Oliver and Associates has no objection to Mr. Bunker's request as long as operations are done inside the building. He expressed concern that the landscaping proposed by staff may interfere with the site lines onto Dodge and suggested that if any trees were planted, that they be tall overstory trees and trimmed high to allow maximum visibility. Commissioner Kuester stated that she felt the use proposed by Mr. Bunkers is much more compatible than the earlier proposal. Commissioner Chambers asked if any new signs are proposed for the property. Mr. Wensman stated that none are proposed at this time, but that a sign permit would be required if any are requested in the future. There being no further comments from the public, Chair Chambers closed the public hearing. Commissioner Baker asked if the sign on the games building was permanent. Mr. Bunkers stated that he did not feel the sign was acceptable and that the sign would be coming down after the Christmas season when the tenant was in a better financial position to replace it with a better quality sign.
