Mr. Pantelis has received written permission from the <br />property owner, paid all applicable fees, and successfully passed a Police Department background check. <br />Overnight storage of equipment or merchandise is not allowed unless approved by the City Council. Mr. <br />Pantelis is requesting to store an 8 x 12 trailer on site Friday through Sunday on the weekends he sells. <br />Staff has concerns with the parking of trailers on site for extended periods as they have the potential to <br />detract from the aesthetics of the site, impact visibility to the business at the intersection, impact the <br />traffic flow on site, and provide a place for signage. Staff feels that conditions seven through nine above <br />mitigate many of those concerns. Mr. Pantelis has received permission to store the trailer overnight from <br />the property owner. <br />P Q M(E B E E1 B Y <br />~A li U~ <br />
