Mr. Brevig indicated that a car lot limited to 50 vehicles can be successful economically. Mr. Brevig inquired if the site would remain limited to 50 vehicles if the property is zoned B-1. Mr. Goodrich replied that if the rezoning occurs, the site would not be limited to 50 vehicles unless at the same time the City puts additional restrictions on B-1 zones or auto lots. A discussion ensued regarding the landscaping that was required in the conditional use permit issued in 1988. Ms. Frolik indicated that without consuming great amounts of staff time, she has been unable to determine if the landscaping requirements were ever fulfilled. Upon request, Mr. Brevig provided City Attorney Goodrich with the statistics of his State license (//20515, issued to Richard Brevig, Ramsey Sales, 7205 Hwy. #10 N.W.). Douglas Fountain - 15255 Garnet Street N.W. - Inquired as to the status of encroachment onto Cry. Rd. #56 right-of-way by Ramsey Auto Sales. Ms. Frolik indicated that at the time the conditional use permit was issued, the County requested 27 feet of additional right-of-way. The applicant for the conditional use permit, Roger Hurd, could not fulfill that requirement because he was not fee title owner of the property. Mr. Otto then discussed the matter with the County and they withdrew their request for the additional fight-of-way indicating they would acquire it when it was needed. Mr. Fountain inquired if the auto sales lot is encroaching on the exiting Cty. Rd. #56 right- of-way. Mr. Banwart indicated that the County has signed the right-of-way and it appears that the operation is not encroaching onto the right-of-way. Councilmember Peterson stated that he is still concerned with prospective buyers parking in the right-of-way to look at autos for sale during off-business hours. Mr. Brevig indicated that he blocks the sales lot in such a way during off-business hours that there is still room for four vehicles to park on the site versus in the fight-of-way. Mr. Banwart noted that upon the City's request, Mn/DOT will be posting 'no parking' signs along Hwy. #10. Upon inquiry, Mr. Brevig informed Mr. Goodrich that there is no type of business partnership between himself and Mr. Wojcik. Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to retain the conditional use permit status at 7205 Hwy. #10 N.W. and to require that the leasee of the property, Mr. Richard Brevig, enter into an agreement to have a valid State license at all times, to abide by the terms of the conditional use permit issued in 1988, to provide the City with a copy of the written lease on the property which indicates the relationship between Robert Wojcik and Richard Brevig, and to provide the City with a copy of the bond required for State licensing.
