RE: Oak Park Heights - Stillwater Ford CUP
FILE NO: 798.02 - 99.17
Please be advised that the Planning Commission, at their November 18, 1999 meeting,
voted unanimously to recommend the CUP to allow for the expansion of the major auto
repair use for Stillwater Ford. As you are aware, the City Council approved the B-2
zoning amendment, site plan and CUP for the building expansion, but needed a
Planning Commission recommendation to act on the request for the major auto repair
use
No one was present from Stillwater Ford nor did members of the public speak at the
hearing. The Planning Commission reviewed the request and made their
recommendation based upon the conditions found in the October 14, 1999 planning
report. The recommended conditions for approval of the requested CUP are as follows.
Planning Commission changes have been highlighted.
1. Ali automobile repair activities shall be conducted within the principal structure
and all exterior service access doors shall be kept dosed at all times, except for
moving vehicles in and out of the service area.
2. There shall be no exterior storage of automobile parts, parts cars, or related
items on the site. All storage shall be internal to the building. All cars to be
stored outside of the building shall be visibly intact.
3. All noise created from operations on the site shall be in conformance with
Section 401.15.B.11 of the Zoning Ordinance.
