Staff report:
City Planner, Dan Van Petten, proposed a compromise with the applicants to allow an orderly transition over the next time period where they can cease their operation, move their location or they bring the operation into conformance.
A series of benchmarks or performance standards were listed as follows:
1) A landscaping plan be submitted by the applicant by the next planning commission meeting of September 17, 2008 to be reviewed by city staff.
2) No fuel storage will be allowed on site.
3) No on-site or stockpiling of materials on site.
4) The operations will adopt fixed hours and be limited to weekdays. Operations would be limited to 6am to 6pm, Monday through Friday.
5) Special Use permits will run concurrently with the business license. To allow for review, if applicants adhere to these performance standards, then the temporary special use permit can be used until January 1, 2010. At that time a renewal of the business license and special temporary use permit would be required.
6) If the applicant ceased business operations, the property would be restored to a semblance of the pre-business activity condition.
7) Special Use Permits will not be transferrable.
Michael Webb, City Administrator indicated that staff will provide letters to the applicants explaining the performance standards.
Sandra Parks, 1920 S. 98th Street, Edwardsville KS, was concerned regarding the time frame and wanted to verify when the landscape plan will be reviewed.
It was confirmed that the landscape plans will be reviewed on the October 15, 2008 meeting.
Mrs. Parks requested an explanation of the process for review and approval of the special use permit.
Michael Webb, City Administrator explained that the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will accept, reject or return the recommendation for further discussion.
Mrs. Parks asked for additional information regarding the Existing Non-Conforming Use.
It was explained that the Existing Non-Conforming Use is a use that predated the present zoning ordinance and has remained basically unchanged since that time.
Mrs. Parks stated that the business is not going to continue to operate.
Michael Webb, City Administrator stated that if the business is not going to continue to operate then it would be more important to focus on restoring the site to a pre-business activity condition.
Mrs. Parks indicated that she would include that information in her submission for the September meeting.
