? employees. Mr. Herbster noted that half of the parking spaces would be used by employees. Mi-s. O'Rourke asked if they will share any spaces with A& K(on the same property). Mr. Fletcher stated - that A& K has parking offthe west of their building and he explained that the whole lot is a"T" shape and there is, not only A& K, but Affordable Used Cars. The waste oil will be in a tank either inside or outside the building. Mr. Rymarczyk advised that the Fire Department requires that it be stored outside. Mr. Tallon asked how much of the lot he would be able to use. He thought that the land after the "L" would belong to A& K. In response to the members questions, Mr. Fletcher believed that anti-freeze could be stored in 55 gallon diwns, that there was a compressor with airlines already established for impact wrenches which he would use for bralces, but he would not be doing tire changes. Mr. Herbster noted that the residence uext door was only about 12 foot from this building. The front area inside will be for customer intake, most of the work will be done in the back. Mr. Fletcher repeated the type of work they will be doing and advised that only, a small number of cars, less than 5%, would stay over night. He advised that the doors in the front and back would be open. It was noted that Ziebart only did rust proofing and some trun work. Assistant Law Director Dubelko stated that he had spoken to Building Commissioner Conway about tlus, and he does recognize the difference between a facility like Ziebart's and this one because auto repair could cause a greater degree of noise aud fumes so there is more of a coucern about how it would impact on nearby residential areas. That is why the code requires a conditional use permit and requires that it be a use that does not have a deleterious effect on the nearby residential neighborhoods and gives the plamiing commission authority to impose conditions on the permit that would ameliorate any of these adverse effects on the residential neighbors. N1r. Tallou stated that they might have to air condition the building aud keep the 'doors closed. Mr. Fletcher responded that keeping the doors closed during the summer would be difficult, he could probably keep the front door closed and the rear door faces A. & K. Tire. 1VIr. Herbster noted that the noise might be heard on Dewey Road. Mr. Brennan wondered if there had been any complaints about A. & K Tire. Iu response to questious, Mr. Fletcher stated that there were no windows on the north side, only an old door that is uo longer used, and the hours of operation would be 7:30 to 5:00 p.m. Mr. Tallon stated that they would have to come up with some kind of souud proofing or souud batting, especially for the north walls and find a way to keep tlie front doors closed. It was suggested that he move the customer louuge to the other side, but this would be impossible because the overhead door was only 6 feet fiom the north side of the building. Mr. Tallou repeated that the noise had to be baffled, since Ziebart did not generate as much noise. It was noted that there would be radios playing, air tools going, wrenches falling. Mrs. O'Rourke doubted that this would carry over to Dewey Road. Even if t]iere is a problem akeady with A. & K, Mr. Herbster wondered if they should add to it. He also would like to be sure that there is proper space for their waste products. City Engineer Deichmann asked if the entire parking lot was totally paved. Mr. Fletcher thouglit that the front and south side were and that part of the rear was paved at least to the north edge of the building. ChaiiYUau Tallou would like to refer this to the Safety Department to advise what would be required for fuel storage, and they would need a complete list of all the materials and cheinicals that they would be handling to submit to the Fire Department for theu input. Wlien tlus returns, that drawing should indicate where the lot is paved and what part of the lot is dedicated to tlus use siuce it must be shown if he can store cars on the lot or uot. Tliey will have to show how they are going to sound proof the north wall. Mr. Fletcher advised that the owner had inentioned 'unproving the roof liue of the building, but he had not committed to it. Mr. Deichmanu stated that if they are going to expand the parking lot, then they will have to increase the undergrouud retention. Mi•. Fletcher believed that the whole lot was paved. Service Duector Bolilinann asked what the parking requuements were. Mr. Rymarczyk stated that they need four parking spaces for each bay, so that would be 16 spaces including einployee parking. Mr. Fletcher had stated that they would have about 13 spaces, with 5 employees, there would only be 8 left. Some of the spaces in back could be 4
