property lines not screened by a fence. Mr. Burslie stated this is a requirement in the <br /> highway business district. <br /> Planning Commission Member Birch stated Condition #6 states no more than 4 <br /> customer-owned inoperable vehicles shall be parked outside for more than 48 hours. <br /> He asked if they needed to be customer-owned. He asked Mr.Walberg if he would be <br /> comfortable if that condition stated no more than four inoperable vehicles. Mr.Walberg <br /> stated he would not be comfortable with that language. He stated his mechanic is <br /> certified and they can purchase inoperable vehicles and the mechanic can put them back <br /> together as operable vehicles. If he is allowed to erect the fence where they want to,they <br /> should be able to keep the inoperable vehicles behind the fence. Planning Commission <br /> Member Birch stated he just doesn't understand the need for the fence if it is not <br /> benefitting screening from Patriot Avenue. Chair Hallan stated the fence would provide <br /> screening as viewed from Patriot Avenue traveling north. <br /> Planning Commission Member Larson stated the use with conditions would not be <br /> injurious to the public health, safety,welfare, decency,order, comfort, convenience, or <br /> appearance or prosperity of the City,the fence would probably be a good idea. It would <br /> be cleaning up your property and keeping some of the mess behind. Placing the fence <br /> where you want gives those vehicles a place,while opening up your corner for people to <br /> see the vehicles ready for sale and potentially clean that area up a bit. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> Greg Seils (Crow Wing Auto Bo's3y� stated he had a 2o-year lease with the DNR for use of <br /> their 3o-foot_parcel;he is not going to renew the lease. He planted the trees along the <br /> north lot line Qf the DNR Iot and filled#he wetland for a driveway to get to their house. <br /> The DNR property was a wetland and he filled it. He moved the culvert from the Watt <br /> side of his property to the north side; MN/DOT didn't want any additional access to the <br /> highway. He plans to move�he culvert back to the Watt side to put the DNR lot back to ' <br /> the way it was. He stated he is not worried about a fence,just have orderly cars and not �� <br /> parked on the DNR land. A fence further back would be nice as screening for visibility <br /> from their residential area. The DNR land is trail access to lake; it is not a public access. <br /> It is not for the Fire Department access to Mr. Walberg's house; only a wallang trail. A � <br /> fire lane or access to the Walberg house should be on his own property. Mr. Seils <br /> further stated he supports Mr.Walberg having a successful business,but keep the cars I <br /> neat and orderly. � <br /> Discussion ensued regarding snow removed from vehicles and parking in the right-of- ', <br /> way. Mr. Burslie reminded the Chair that all comments should go through the Chair. <br /> Chair Hallan reminded the Walberg group that they had not been interrupted when they ,, <br /> spoke and they should not interrupt the public as they speak.
