Approved spring and one in the fall, so that the applicant does not have to request a Special Use Permit each year. This recommendation is based on the applicant having a good history with the City on regulating these sales in accordance with the approved conditions of prior Resolutions. The only change to the 2005 conditions would be an additional condition that if at any time the vehicle sale events create a Public Safety concern and the conditions of the Special Use Permit cannot be met, City Staff will require that the Planning Commission and City Council reconsider the Special Use Permit by notification to the applicant and by holding a Public Hearing. This additional condition provides assurances to the City that future property owners must comply with the Special Use Permit and a process to revoke it is established if City Staff determines they are not meeting the Special Use Permit standards. In summary, this would allow the applicant a sale in the spring and a sale in the fall without re-approval of an additional Special Use Permit so long as the events run between 8:00am and 4:30pm, all the for sale vehicles are removed from the property by 6:30pm on the day of the sale, the Director of Public Safety and the City Planner are notified of the events at least 90 days in advance, and that the Director of Public Safety can impose whatever traffic measures are deemed necessary. If at any time the applicant does not comply with these standards the Special Use Permit may be revoked by notification to CU Companies and by holding a public hearing with the Planning Commission. The Director of Public Safety has been notified of this recommendation and finds it to be satisfactory. Chuck Happach, Manager of the CU Auto Division, approached the Council to answer questions. Baker inquired if the applicant had any problems with the conditions that were listed on the approval. Happach replied that they had no issues with the conditions, except that they would like to have this year’s fall sale on the fourteenth of October, which isn’t within the ninety days staff notice period. He added that they would be able to meet the ninety day notice after this time. Howard asked if the amount of vehicles brought in for the sale varied. Happach replied that the number of vehicles that are brought in has been between 125 and 150 cars. Schiferl inquired from staff if there should be an upper limit on the number of cars that are allowed to be brought in for the sale. Gundlach replied that if the Commission would like to add an upper vehicle limit they could. Happach stated that 175 would be an acceptable number, and their company would most likely never bring in that amount of cars. Schiferl inquired from staff if 175 cars could cause a problem on the property. Gundlach replied that the site has 330 stalls and 175 car limits should not create an issue. Schiferl asked if the approval should explicitly state that the sales can only be held on Saturdays or Sundays. Gundlach replied that stipulation can be added to the approval also.
