Case #6: Request for an Interim Use Permit to Allow for Storage of Auto and Recreational Vehicles on an Unimproved Surface Case of Auto & RV Ranch Councilmember Kurak stated she will be abstaining from the discussion and vote on this case. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained Bob and Patricia McElhaney of Auto & RV Ranch submitted an application for an Interim Use Permit to allow for auto and recreational (RV's) vehicles to be stored and displayed on a parcel that is absent of the required bituminous pavement improvements for an interim period of time. The subject property is located at 7665 Hwy #10 NW. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained Mr. and Mrs. McElhaney recently purchased Chelsea's Auto and started operating Auto & RV Ranch. The applicants purchased the property with a small portion of the site containing concrete and bituminous pavement for display area, customer, and employee parking. In order for Auto Ranch to display their entire inventory, the bituminous pavement area needs to be expanded. Mr. and Mrs. McElhaney submitted a drawing outlining their intentions to comply with City Code's site improvement requirements for displaying their vehicles. However, the weather is no longer conducive to installing bituminous pavement and concrete curbing. Mr. and Mrs. McElhaney are requesting an interim use permit to enable them to store and display the vehicles on the property without the required site improvements until June 30, 2004. Prior to any improvements being initiated the McElhaney's will need to submit a Paving, Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan. This plan will be subject to the City Engineer's review and approval. The Planning Comlnission recommended that the Council approve the interim use permit request.
