RE: Use of former Fury Motors Site—60th Street and Osgood Ave.-Ambulance Station
Dear Mr. Leonard and Mr. Siskow:
Thank you for your recent narrative and submission for a potential Conditional Use Permit for the site
located at the N.W. corner of STH 36 and Osgood Ave. Your proposed use is an indoor staging and
parking area for Lakeview Ambulance and related staff—basically an ambulance station. A number on
internal improvements are proposed.
Upon further review,the City has determined that your proposed uses are consistent with the B-2
Zoning permitted uses as outlined in City Ord. 401.30. and a CUP is not immediately needed.
The above stated... the following must still occur as the site has remaining issues:
• No outside storage or other non-compliant activities may occur at the site;this letter is
subject to revision. All other City rules and ordinances remain in effect.
• The Owner or Applicant must first secure a building permit from the City to make the
necessary internal improvements to foster the use of the property including final
clarifications on sprinkler installations. The sprinkler determination is wholly pending
and the City makes no commitments on this issue at this time that they will NOT be
required. We are awaiting information from you both related to this issue.
• Some site conditions are in a"nuisance"condition—the rusty light poles and must be
removed by October l'2021.
• Ensure that weeds and other grasses are adequately maintained-please address this
promptly;this has been discussed in the past.
• Temp. signage banners will not be permitted; please provide a signage plan.
The City asks that both of your offices ensure that the site remains in proper condition and that is
representative of our community and your business operations.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you
"74—,
Eric Johnson
City Administrator
