Dear Mr. Hecker:
As y ou are aware, the Oak Park Hei Cit Council reviewed y our conditional use
permit for the Stillwater Ford dealership located at 12969 North 60th Street. At that
Januar 14, 2003 meetin the Cit Council reviewed parkin issues and noted from site
inspections that vehicles were parked on non-paved surfaces and within drive aisles. In
some areas of the lot, the parked vehicles within the aisles would prevent the passa
of emer vehicles. Staff has monitored the situation since that meetin and while
the overall number of vehicles on site has been si reduced, there is
e parked on non-paved surfaces and vehicles were blockin drive aisles based
upon an inspection on March 26, 2003.
In order for Stillwater Ford to remain compliant with its conditional use permit, the
parkin and exterior stora issues will need to be addressed in 15 da from the date
of this letter (April 10, 2003 Cit staff will inspect the lot on that date and determine
compliance.
At the Januar 14 meetin the Cit Council approved a motion to have the Cit
Attorne and Cit Planner draft an amendment to the Stillwater Ford conditional use
permit to delineate the maximum allowed parkin stalls for repair, customers,
emplo and auto sales. Of the 620 available parkin stalls on site, 56 stalls are to
be dedicated to customer and emplo parkin 37 stalls to auto repair, and 527 stalls
for auto sales displa A revised resolution will be drafted b the Cit Attorne that
reflects the parkin allowances and will be sent to y ou before it is finalized.
