60' size by 8', for a net size of 47' x 60'. Ms. Frolik noted that Mr. Groothoscn is a self- employed contractor and is attempting to store his commercial equipment and vehicles indoors. The CUP has been drafted to emphasize that Mr. Groothosen may park and store his commercial vehicles and equipment at his home, but that does not give him the right to conduct commercial activity in the building. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and there were no negative verbal or written comments submitted. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request based on the fact that the use eliminates a blighted condition and provides a way to come into compliance with City Code regarding the parking and storing of commercial vehicles and equipment in the Residential District.

Case #3: Request for Site Plan Approval; Case of Rademacher Companies and Bill's Superette Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Rademacher Companies has submitted a site plan for the development of an 8,000 square foot convenience store including gas sales and a 2,160 square foot car wash at the intersection of T.H.//47 and 153rd Avenue. The access from T.H. //47 will be a northbound right-in only and, by mutual agreement of the developer and the City, will be abandoned when 153rd and//47 is signalized. Three accesses are proposed from 153rd Avenue which is acceptable to the City Engineer. The project is proposed to be served by sanitary sewer and municipal water. The utility plans show extending the services through the medical clinic property and agreements need to be in place before this can happen. The building locations exceed all of the setbacks from property line requirements. Lot or building coverage is restricted to 35% of the lot area; City Council/May 26, 1998 Page 6 of 11
