Case #4: Request for Site Plan Approval; Case of Ralph's Gun and ii Pawn ~rdng Administrator Frolik stated that in September 1993, Ralph Nissen relocated Ralph's Gun and Pawn from 6131 Highway #10 N.W. to 610I Highway #I0 N.W. The new site ~as deficient of certain site improvements such as paved and curbed drive and CUstomer/employee parking areas. Mr. Nissen was informed that these site improvements Were required in order for commercial activity to occur on the property. At a recent meeting With Mr. Nissen, the following items were agreed to for the installation of site improvements at Ralph's Gun and Pawn: 1) A temporary sump area measuring 18' x 80' ~ 3' deep would be constructed on the west side of the building; 2) B-612 concrete Curbing installed along the east and south edges of the pavement. No curbing would be required in the northwest corner of the drive/parking area to allow runoff to reach the sump area and future expansion of the drive to service the other three lots to the west in Guy Addition. Since it would be too difficult to install continuous concrete curbing where the ~-xisting blacktop meets the existing concrete walkway at the front of the building, it has been recommended that Mr. Nissen be allowed to place the concrete curb sections at the front of the building to prevent cars from driving onto the walkway; 3) Mr. Nissen has agreed that the west side of the building will not be used for parking and storage; therefore, no additional pavement beyond what exists would be required; 4) In accordance with sgtback requirements in the B-3 Highway Business District, Mr: Nissen has agreed to cut the blacktop back 17.5 feet from the front property line; 5) City Staff re-evaluated the mount of financial guarantee to approximately $3,000. Ms. Frolik reported that Mr. Nissen has agreed to all the terms; therefore, Staff and the Planning Commission reCommend approval. Mayor Hardin expressed concern ab~)ut the parking or storage on the west side of Mr. Iqissen's building. ½ ~. Nissen stated that the vehicle pad/ed there is'his truck and he uses it to haul things. Mayor Hardin stated the vehicle has not been 'moved. Mr. Nissen stated he uses it from time to time. ~ayor Hardin suggested keeping-the financial guarantee 180 days after the site ~provements are completed to make sure the vehicle has been moved, etc. ~. Nissen stated "l_fi tell you I will move it, I will move it". Mayor Hardin sm. ted that Mr. Nissen did not do the improvements he previously said he Would do. ~. Nissen stated.he had a contractor working on the improvements; but he could not get things done with the City. He added that he (Nissen) is not a cash machine; he cannot afford to have his money tied up for that long. Mayor Hardin stated that he is talking about outside storage.
