Planning Director <br />Gundlach discussed the property setbacks in detail with the Commission. She commented that all building <br />setbacks were being met by the applicant. <br />Commissioner Deick asked if any parking stalls would be eliminated in order to access the new garage. Peter <br />Murlowski, 388 Cleveland Avenue SW, explained that no parking stalls would be removed. He discussed that <br />18 new parking stalls would be added to the property. <br />Chairperson Howard inquired why the City was not requiring brick or stone. Planning Director Gundlach <br />indicated that after discussing this matter with the applicant, she learned the building was covered with hardi- <br />plank siding, which is a cement product and has previously been allowed to meet the brick or stone requirement. <br />For this reason, staff recommended Condition #8 be removed. <br />Commissioner Danger believed it was odd for the City to have performance standards for building materials for <br />only the street side of the building considering the fact that all surfaces of a building were exposed to snow and <br />rain. He questioned why the requirements were stated as they were and were not written in a way to be an <br />architectural enhancement. Planning Director Gundlach commented that she was simply enforcing City Code <br />as it is currently drafted. She believed that the intent of the code was to create a high level finish for building <br />fronts that abut a street. <br />Motion by Commissioner McPherson, seconded by Commissioner Nichols-Matkaiti, to approve staff <br />recommendation eliminating Condition #8. <br />Approved 6-0. <br />Public Hearing: <br />(A) Joshua Daniel Burrs requests consideration of a Special Use Permit to permit auto sales from the <br />existing building located at 581 Old Highway 8 NW, including outdoor parking of up to five <br />vehicles. <br />Planning Director Janice Gundlach reported the applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit to permit operation <br />of an automotive sales use at 581 Old Highway 8 NW.
