During the application process Mr. Thue only requested <br />to have three cars for this portion of his business. It wasn't until after Mr. Thue applied for a dealer <br />license with the State of Minnesota did he realize he had to be able to accommodate five cars (see <br />attached letter). Although the parking is more than ample to accommodate five cars, the State won't <br />issue the license because the City has put a restriction on the business to allow only three cars. Mr. <br />Thue is requesting that the CUP be modified to allow up to five cars so he can obtain the <br />appropriate license with the State. Staff does not have an issue with two additional cars onsite; there <br />appears enough parking to adequately serve the business. <br /> <br />In addition to the number change in condition five of the CUP Mr. Thue is also requesting that the <br />broker cars be allowed to be stored outside overnight. Staff does not support the idea of allowing <br />the cars to be stored overnight outside of the shop, this could be considered outdoor storage and <br />that is not a precedent that has been set in that area. In addition this is not to be a used car lot and <br />cars stored outside all the time may give the appearance of such. <br /> <br />Applicable Regulations <br /> <br />Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br />The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\CUP\CU 07-20 Thue\CC 7 16 07.doc <br />
