Commissioner Dunaway stated that existing tenant noted that he has three stalls in the front and five in the back. He noted that the applicant stated that he would have one spot in the front and five in the back. He asked where the one front stall would be in the front. Mr. Gordhammer stated that a customer could use one of the front stalls, but Mr. Laws would not be able to park one of his vehicles in that stall. He noted that Mr. Laws would have five dedicated spaces in the rear. Motion by Commissioner Gengler, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy,to recommend that City Council adopt Resolution #21-287 Granting a Conditional Use Permit for Auto Sales at 6957 Highway 10 NW. Further discussion Commissioner Anderson stated that Mr. Laws does not yet have the applicable licensing and therefore he was unsure how this could be approved. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl noted that the licenses would not be granted without the CUP approval. Chairperson Bauer noted that this would be the first step. Commissioner Anderson stated that while competition is great, he would not approve the same type of business within a building. Commissioner Walker stated that he is stuck as 13 potential vehicles could be parked for sale along with customer parking. He stated that there are already many car dealers along Highway 10. He stated that while he wants to bring businesses to town, he is cautious. Commissioner Gengler stated that she can appreciate the interpersonal relationship dynamics in this case and noted that perhaps a conversation needs to be had between the two parties. She stated that putting that aside, while it is two similar businesses in the same building, there are multiple dealers in the corridor, and it is not the position of the Commission to determine where there is a market to support the business. She stated that the conditions of the CUP are met and therefore it should be granted. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners Gengler, VanScoy, Dunaway, and Peters.
