Planning Commission Member Norton inquired about the change in area from i6,000 sf <br /> to 40,00o sf. Mr.Walberg stated the vehicles are now crammed in small areas and it is <br /> difficult to make them look presentable. What he is loolang to do is expand and use <br /> more of the 60o feet he is allowed,have them parked neater and be less visible. <br /> When asked by Planning Commission Member Norton if he planned on paving or using <br /> class 5 on the parlang areas, Mr.Walberg stated he had no plans for that. Mr.Walberg <br /> did state he would like to place a fence along the neighbor to the south. <br /> Planning Commission Member Norton asked how many additional vehicles there would <br /> be. Mr.Walberg stated he had not done the math and that he is not loolang to have that <br /> many vehicles,just the option to do it. This time of year he takes in a number of trade- <br /> ins and hopefully the trade-ins can be moved during tax season. <br /> Chair Hallan stated it is much simpler to establish a number of units,whether it be <br /> vehicles or something,that will be on this property at any given time. He would like to <br /> see a site plan showing areas proposed for parldng vehicles and an established number <br /> of vehicles for that area. Mr.Walberg stated the last CUP discussion he was told he <br /> wouldn't be given a number of vehicles because he is limited by the space. He is limited <br /> by the 60o feet. <br /> When asked by Mr. Burslie if he kept the vehicles in the areas allowed, Mr.Walberg <br /> stated there are a few outside of those areas;that is why he wants to amend his CUP to <br /> get those vehicles into an approved area. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated when we look at this from an enforcement issue, it is much easier to <br /> enforce a specific number of vehicles or sawmills, or whatever it is, as opposed to go out <br /> there and measure and stake areas out. He recommends using a specific number. <br /> Chair Hallan requested the number of vehicles for each area be included on a new site <br /> plan. The impervious area is calculated for the entire parlang area, not each parldng <br /> space. <br /> Mr.Walberg asked if it is typical for a city to limit the number of cars for a used car lot? <br /> Does Baxter limit the number of vehicles Dondelinger can have on their lot? Mr. Burslie <br /> stated it is usually based on impervious surface coverage and it would be within the <br /> city's right to do that. Mr. Burslie stated there have been a number of complaints on this <br /> property and a specific number would make it easier to enforce the CUP. Mr.Walberg <br /> stated he does not feel a specific number is generally done. He offered to check with <br /> other car dealers or the car dealer association for clarification. <br /> MINUTES 7 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> November 15, 2oi8 <br />
