The property encompasses an existing garage building at <br /> 558 Old Highway 8 and the adjacent vacant lot, known as 550 Old Highway 8, that is <br /> used for parking to the north. The applicant is requesting a special use permit to allow <br /> the existing automotive repair use to continue. Since November/December of 2005 the <br /> applicant has been actively seeking to lease the property, which has produced inquires <br /> with regard to ability to continue the automotive repair shop. <br /> Baker inquired if the lot to the south of the building was also used by the applicant. <br /> Gundlach replied that the south lot is not in common ownership and is not part of this <br /> application. Howard asked who the public hearing notice went out to. Gundlach <br /> reported that notices were sent to all properties within 350 feet of the applicant's <br /> properties. <br /> Mark Jacobson, son of Sally Walfoort (applicant), approached the commission to answer <br /> questions. Schiferl inquired if the building is on the property line. Jacobson answered <br /> that when he received the photos from the City, he was told that the angle that the <br /> satellite took the photos transposed the shadow line and thus the lines are not accurately <br /> placed on the photo. Gundlach replied that Jacobson is correct, the lines depicted on the <br /> photo are not the legal property lines and the photo is an aerial photograph. <br /> C:\Documents and Settings\jgoepe\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK28\02-21-06 minutes.doc <br />
