REGULAR MEETING <br />JUNE 23,201 <br />addition to a tree to add additional landscaping. This comes from the Area Plain Commission <br />with a favorable recommendation. <br />Petitioner David Witt owner ofDavio's Autos- 1711 S Bend Ave. - looking to purchase the <br />adjacent lot 1707 S Bend Ave. asking to get the results. <br />Councilman Scott currently you do not own 1707? Petitioner responded no. Councilmember <br />Scott if it goes through rezoning and you fail to purchase it, it would be rezoned? Petitioner <br />responded, I have to be preapproved prior to purchasing the lot. Councilmember Scott then my <br />question is how can you rezone someone else's property? Angela Smith responded the current <br />property owner has authorized the representative to move forward with all the paperwork today <br />for the rezoning, if the sale falls through the rezoning stays with property and not with us. <br />Councilmember White in terms of the parking lot how many vehicles will be on the lot since it's <br />a small spot? Petitioner we are looking for 12 to 15 extra cars for sale as an extension to our lot. <br />A public hearing was held at this time. <br />Those wishing to speak in favor: <br />Louis Bell- 210 E Wellman Drive- I think the council should approve this as Mr. Witt is very <br />successful in what he has been doing. He will be able to fix the property up and add additional <br />employees as it looks terrible right now. <br />Those wishing to speak in opposition were none. <br />Councilmember Davis who enforces that the property is up to code for the business? Angela <br />Smith responded that would be the Code Enforcement Office and in terms of zoning that would <br />be the Building Department. Councilmember Davis we have a number of car lots throughout the <br />city who ever makes these decisions who then enforces the code to maintain it as a reputable <br />business is my question with this property and others like it? I think the investment is great but <br />my question is the level of enforcement throughout the entire city? Angela Smith responded one <br />of the conditions is that each vehicle has to be accessible in a drive aisle, so there is particular <br />verbiage, but I can't speak for the building and enforcement office on their procedures and how <br />often they go through to see. Councilmember Davis so we need to go back and adopt this <br />language in other ordinances to enforce this? Angela Smith we have been working on language, <br />and drafting that, we have and reach out to the Enforcement office, which is where we are at <br />now. Councilmember Davis I want to keep it the same for all not just this one situation. Angela <br />Smith responded as they need a variance we have used the language in updated ordinances as we <br />go throughout these changes. The may not be retroactive but we are moving towards that. <br />Councilmember White I would recommend when you are looking at the zoning and re- advising <br />the ordinance that you have a representative from the Council. In the past we had a committee it <br />allows for better communication and feedback. Angela White, responded I will reach out and <br />make sure that someone is involved moving forward. <br />Councilmember White made a motion to send 30 -14 bill to the full Council favorably. <br />Councilmember seconded Gavin Ferlic the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) <br />ayes. <br />RISE AND REPORT <br />Vice President Derek Dieter made a motion to rise and report to full Council. Councilmember <br />Dr. David Varner seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br />ATTEST: <br />ATTEST: <br />5 <br />
