Rezoning Request, City August 15, 1994 Page 2 . In an attempt to clarify some of the historical events and current conditions of the property, staff has outlined the following. This information has been obtained from City records and/or through conversations with the property owners. . . Prior to November 1978 - a single family home was constructed on the north half of the subject fifteen (15) acre parcel. . November 3, 1978 - City Council approved rezoning the property from Al (Agricultural Conservation) to 11 (Light Industrial) and granting a conditional use permit for an auto salvage yard with mechanical repair, body repair, and a truck dealership. both of these applications included a legal description for only the south half of the subject parcel. In other words, the current zoning map does not accurately reflect the zoning approved by the City Council in 1978. For some reason, the zoning map was amended to include the entire fifteen (15) acre parcel whereby it should have included on the south seven (7), plus or minus, acres. . December 1, 1978 - south 1,400 feet of the fifteen (15) acre parcel sold to Clinton Olson, which effectively subdivided the property in a north half and a south half. The deeds for this transaction were recorded August 1, 1985, just prior to the next sale of the property. . August 25, 1985 - Mr. Olson sold the south 1,400 feet to Mr. & Mrs. Roy, the current owners of Custom Motors. . Sometime in 1993 - Mr. Boelter purchased the north half of the fifteen (15) acre parcel, which includes the single family home. Mr. Boelter is currently operating a towing service from one of the out buildings on the property. This use requires a conditional use permit within the 11 (Light Industrial) zoning district. Mr. Boelter has not applied for this permit at this time and is considered a non conforming use. Please refer to the attached Planning Commission report for additional background information and discussion on the history. COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT When Custom Motors' conditional use permit was originally approved in 1978, a condition pertaining to screening was included. Specifically, evergreens or other appropriate plantings were to be installed around the entire perimeter of the property. . Over the years, the issue of screening has been raised several times. At this time, the evergreens or "appropriate plantings" have not been installed. Therefore, Custom Motors is not in compliance with their conditional use custom. council
