There has <br />been a significant improvement but Staff feels there are still a number of items to be eliminated <br />from the site. The completion of this clean up effort should be addressed as one of the terms of <br />the Developmetit Permit for the building expansion. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald indicated Staff recommends site plan approval contingent upon <br />compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated November 26, 2003 and receiving an <br />exception to the Highway 10 moratorium. <br /> <br />Commission Input <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if the applicant has any issues with the comments of the Staff Review <br />Letter. <br /> <br />Mr. Touchette indicated he and Community Development Director Frolik will meet next week to <br />finish the list of items that need to be cleared up and they will talk to the current tenants. He <br />stated one of the tenants is a body shop, and they are changing the way the body shop works so it <br />moves faster, lie indicated they have also provided more asphalt for the tenant, and will give <br />him a punch list of items to clean up. <br /> <br />Chairperson Ni×t asked if there was any history of violations for the liquor store. <br /> <br />Associate planner Wald indicated the previous tenant's history is not important because they <br />have a new tenant, Which is MGM Liquor. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt verified they have applied for a new liquor license. <br /> <br />Mr. Touchette indicated they are on the agenda with the City Council for that next week. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated the next case is revisions to the Business District Ordinance. He <br />stated 26% buit~ting coverage would exceed what is being recommended, and asked if they were <br />trying to push this one through before the change. <br /> <br />Mr. Touchette indicated the 26% is caused by the amount of linear feet of coolers they needed. <br />He stated this addition is the only way it could be accommodated, and the only square footage <br />they are adding .is for the coolers. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/December 4, 2003 <br /> Page 10of20 <br /> <br /> <br />
