?. Mr. Mills said they had returned to add additional outdoor storage for vehicles and they would remove the suggested future plan. They requested to defer installing masonry end-caps and curbing either until the next phase is constnicted or for a set period of time. Ms. Wenger was against postponing curbing and end-caps for a projected future time as it would place the city in an awlcward position of trying to enforce such an agreement. Mr. Laslco said the reason the commission requested the masonry end-caps to begin with was to ensure the south side of the site had a cohesive loolc, yet vehicles are parked between the structures and fence defeating the intent. Mr. Mills said the vehicles were parlced due to the laclc of space, hence the expansion. Mr. Collins suggested the applicant install all asphalt both for the current and future storage plan so the site would only have to be curbed once. Mr. Schmidt said he would rather lceep greenspace until the next phase is completed. He said he was looking at 18 months to 2 years before attempting the next phase. He reviewed that he installed curbing during the prior phase and now it has to be removed for the new phase and is quite costly installing and removing the ctubing. Mr. Conway advised that only the Board of Zoning Appeals could determine if the applicant should be granted a variance from the zoning code requirements of curbing. Mrs. Meredith understood the applicant's predicament but was not comfortable with what was being requested as the future phase did not meet city codes and there was no assurance any fiiture phase would ever talce place. Debate ensued regarding whether a portion of the lot was a side or rear yard. Mr. Lasko said the commission would not debate a rear yard matter when there are no worlcing plans for the issue to even be discussed. A brief discussion ensued regarding time constraint requirements pertaining to worlc completion and occupancy permits issued or requesting recommendation for a variance to postpone curbing and end-caps. Mr. Schmidt said he would provide the mesh screening. Mr. Mills requested the proposal be tabled so they could readdress the plan. Mr. Lasko moved, seconded by Ms. Williamson, to table COMS08-09: Exit 2 Storage of 31399 Industrial Parkway for future consideration, which was unanimously, approved 6-0.

Ms. Wenger said the proposal consists of expanding the Mercedes and Porsche campus to include a Saab dealership. All property between Mercedes and the former Carpet Tile building had been acquired and the former Realty One building would be torn down to provide inventory parlcing. The two remaining buildings would be renovated to accommodate the Saab dealership and a service write-up building. Extended inventory parlcing behind Mercedes and Porsche 4
