6.01: Public Hearing: Consider a Site Plan, Variance, and Conditional Use Permit for a Proposed Automotive Repair Shop at 5195 142nd Avenue Public Hearin Chairperson Gengler called the public hearing to order at 7:03 p.m. Presentation Senior Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating that the Environmental Policy Board recommends approval of the landscape plan, contingent upon compliance with staff's review comments and also recommends approval of the variance to the impervious surfacing coverage. Staff recommends approval of the Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit, contingent upon compliance with staff s review comments. Staff received one written comment from a resident which was provided to the Commission via e-mail and in paper version tonight. Commissioner VanScoy asked if the southeastern edge of the fence is where the applicant designed and whether there was a condition to move that. Senior Planner Anderson replied that is addressed in the staff review comments. He noted that could also be added as a condition if desired by the Commission. Commissioner Heineman referenced the western entrance proposed for 142nd and asked if that would be a right-in/right-out. Senior Planner Anderson replied that police raised a concern with shifting the access closer to 47 and the applicant is aware of that concern. He stated that the applicant has stated that the entrances as they exist today would create issues with moving vehicles around the site. He explained that vehicles could enter the site through the second entrance before getting to Xkimo. Commissioner Heineman commented that he would support a do not enter sign at the western entrance. Citizen Input Mitchell Web, applicant, stated that everything within the fenced area would be screened. He stated that he does not operate a business where vehicles sit for a long time as this is not an auto body shop with crashed cars. He stated that the vehicles leave in a short period of time after the repair is completed. He stated that they have spent a lot of time and energy looking at ways to reconfigure the parking lot and entrances. He noted that the more they shift the western entrance away from 47,the more difficult it will be for the vehicles in those parking spots to get out of those spots. He noted that reconfiguration would also cause them to lose three parking stalls and they want to ensure the site has sufficient parking available. Commissioner Heineman asked if the applicant would see any issues with using the eastern entrance for vehicles coming into the site and the western entrance for people leaving.
