Chairperson Nixt stated it would be at most two cars every 15 minutes. He indicated when he <br />has his oil changed he is guided out at least part way, and that could be made a condition. He <br />stated hc does not feel traffic from the oil change bays or changing the location of the vacuum <br />islands creates enough impact to deny the applicant's request. <br /> <br />(;ommissioner Johnson stated he has been persuaded by Chairperson Nixt and Commissioner <br />Braucr's comments, noting neither of them are known for softness in addressing traffic issues. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Johnson to recommend that the City <br />('ouncil approve the proposed site plan dated March 22, 2005 for an expansion of the Sunfish <br />I';xprcss fhcility at 6401 Highway # 10 NW, conditioned on verifying with the City Engineer that <br />installation of urban services under the vacuum island is acceptable to the City, and that the <br />vacuu~n islands meet the required setbacks. <br /> <br />(',ommissioncr Brauer asked if the applicant installs sewer lines now, if that will cause problems <br /> thc City later. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik indicated she would have to defer to the City <br />l.;nginccr, but believes the motion covers those concerns. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked how many cars would stack going into the bays. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik stated the plan shows space for three <br />vehicles. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked if they could require striping.
