ANALYSIS
In May 2017, Planning Services issued a correction notice to the property owner for storage of
unregistered, unlicensed/inoperable vehicles being stored in the open on the site. The petitioner
subsequently submitted an application for Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) amendment to expand
the existing truck stop use to include automobile sales. The request also includes a 50' X 50' building
addition as well as fencing for additional outdoor storage area.
Item V-SIPAnindtfor 1911 WSnell Rd
Use
The proposed development consists of an existing approximately 13,900 sq. ft. auto / truck repair shop
and towing service. The applicant is proposing to add an additional 50' X 50' building addition. The
applicant is also requesting to add auto / truck sales as a permitted use. The applicant is requesting 42
stalls for sales. The applicant is also proposing to increase the size of its outdoor storage area. The 2008
approved site plan included approximately 1 acre of fenced outdoor storage area. The applicant is
proposing to expand that area by approximately 39,000 sq. ft. nearly doubling the existing outdoor
storage area. The outdoor storage area would be fenced with an 8' steel fence that match the existing
fence. The applicant was previously granted a Base Standard Modification (BSM) to use an 8' metal
fence to enclose their outdoor storage area. The applicant is requesting to be allowed to use similar
fencing around the proposed outdoor storage expansion. Staff is not in support of this request. The
newly proposed outdoor storage area will have greater visibility from the surrounding properties and
Interstate 41. Staff recommends a condition requiring the new outdoor storage area fence meets the
screening requirements for outdoor storage, including an 8' solid fence.
The applicant has established a history of being unable or unwilling to follow through with the
conditions placed on his site related to outdoor storage. Due to this fact, staff is recommending the
applicant be required to bring a written narrative and detailed outdoor storage plan back to Plan
Commission for final approval prior to being permitted to increase the size of the existing outdoor
storage. The written narrative and detail plan shall outline types of items to be storage, length of time
the items shall be stored and what types of items will be stored in each storage area. The applicant is
not approved to be operating a junkyard or salvage yard and historically air photos indicate many of
the items being stored have not been moved in several years. If this is the case, the applicant would be
operating a junkyard or salvage yard without the required approvals and not the auto repair business
he has indicated in his Planned Development application. Below is a copy of the approve site plan
from 2008. The approved plan identified a specific area along the west side of the building for outdoor
storage. Following that is an aerial photo from 2015 showing the outdoor storage area.

Staff is also recommending the applicant be required to repair the existing metal fence. A portion of
fence is missing along the northwest corner and is no longer shielding the existing outdoor storage area
from view of the adjacent properties or right-of-way. Below is a picture showing the missing fencing.
Item V—SIP Amndt for 1911 W Snell Rd 5
Site Design/Access
The site is accessed from a single driveway on W. Snell Road. No additional access points are included
as part of this request. The applicant failed to construct the existing driveway to city standards when it
was done as part of the prior approval. Therefore, staff is recommending a condition be placed
requiring the existing driveway to be brought up to city standards for hard surfacing. A portion of the
access drive along the western and southern portion of the site is also not hard surfaced per city code
requirements. Staff also recommends that all access drives be brought into conformance with city
standards.
The applicant indicates a total of 68 parking spaces on site. The applicant is proposing to use spaces
labeled 1-8 for customer parking, 9-45 for vehicle sales and 45-68 for shop vehicles, customer parking
and tow trucks. The zoning ordinance requires 1 parking spaces per 300 sq. ft. of building devoted to
vehicle services and repair. It also requires 1 parking space per 300 sq. ft. of office space. Vehicles sales
requires 1 space per 3,000 sq. ft. outdoor display area. According to the applicant, the building consists
of 7,000 sq. ft. of shop space, equaling 23 required parking spaces and 6,000 sq. ft. of office space,
equaling 20 parking spaces. The applicant indicates approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of outdoor vehicle
display area, equaling 4 required parking spaces.
Item V—SIPAntttdt for 1911 W Snell Rd
The applicant is proposing to dedicate only 26 of the 68 parking spaces on site for employee, customer
and shop vehicle use. The applicant does not define what constitutes a shop vehicle. Code requires a
total of 47 employee and customer spaces per the uses and size of those uses indicated by the applicant.
If 47 of the 68 spaces on site are required to meet the zoning ordinance for parking, only 21 spaces
remain for vehicles sales. Staff recommends a condition limiting the applicant to only 21 vehicle sales
spaces and the applicant be required to identify those spaces through on site signage. Staff further
recommends a condition be placed limiting parking on the site to only those legally establish and
striped spaces as approved as part of the site plan and no other parking / storage shall be permitted
outside of the approved spaces.
Presently, the parking area is not stripped in accordance with the provided plan. Staff recommends the
applicant be required to fully stripe the parking area in compliance with the approved plan. Further,
the plan as presently proposed does not appear to meet all the dimensional requirements for parking
stalls and access drives and the spaces indicated vary in size. Staff recommends the applicant be
required to provide a fully dimensioned and scaled parking lot layout plan back to plan commission
for final approval.
Storm Water Management/Utilities
No storm water management plans have been submitted at this time. Department of Public Works has
indicated that the proposed 50' X 50' building addition would not require storm water management at
this time. However, once a cumulative 20,000 sq. ft. of disturbed area is reached the site will have to
come into compliance with the City's Stormwater Ordinance (Chapter 14). The additional paving
being required to bring the site into conformance with the ordinances' driveway and access drive
standards will trigger additional stormwater requirements.
Landscaping
The applicant provided a full landscaping plan as part of the 2008 CUP request. That plan included
significant landscaping improvements to the site, including additional trees and shrubs. The majority
of that landscaping was either never installed or has not been maintained. Below are copies of that site
plan and current proposed site plan.

The current plan indicates significantly fewer trees and none of the previous shrubs are shown. On the
current plan the applicant also indicates landscaping which is not located on their parcel. No
landscaping is being shown along the western property line at this time. Staff recommends a condition
be placed requiring the applicant to either bring the site into conformance with the 2008 landscaping
plan or meet the current landscaping code requirements for paved area, street frontage and yards.
Current code requirements would be 30 paved area landscaping points per 10,000 sq. ft. of paved area,
Item V-SIPAn:ndt for 1911 WSnell Rd 9
30 street frontage landscaping points per 100' of street frontage and 30 yards landscaping points per
1,000 square feet of gross floor area all buildings.
Signage
No additional signage had been indicated on the provided plans. Staff is recommendation a condition
requiring the applicant to remove the existing empty sign structure. Section 30-311 (F) of the zoning
ordinance requires the removal of signs that are not being properly maintained.
Building Facades
The applicant has not provided elevations for the building addition. The applicant states it will be
constructed of the same materials as the existing building. Final building elevations will be reviewed
and approved as part of the Site Plan Review process.
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
