4 moved his existing operation to 565 1st Street SW from the neighboring property at 587 1st Street SW. The applicant secured land use approvals in 2016 for construction of a small office building but neglected to request the Special Use Permit for trailer sales for the new property. During the course of updating his paperwork with the State, it was discovered a new Special Use Permit would be necessary for the new property in order for the City to legally execute the State Zoning Compliance form. Staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit, subject to the following conditions: 1. The trailers sales are conducted consistent with the representations made within the Planning Report dated May 15, 2018. 2. The applicant submits a Site Plan depicting the for-sale trailer storage location on the property. 3. The applicant is limited to one to five trailers for-sale to be kept on the property at any given time. 4. No damaged, inoperable, unlicensed, or salvaged trailers may be kept on the property. Discussion included: • The Commission asked how the City would know which trailers were for sale. Staff noted the location of the five trailers for sale would have to be noted on the site plan. • The Commission questioned if the area where the trailers would be placed should be striped. Staff commented they did not believe this would be necessary as the trailers could not be moved in and out without another vehicle. Mary Secor, representative for the applicant, thanked the Commission for their consideration and discussed the area where the used trailers would be parked on the site. Commissioner Fynewever requested the Commission remain consistent and draft a condition that would not allow for the applicant to advertise the trailer sales with street signs, streamers or balloons. Planning Director Gundlach stated she could draft a condition to this effect. Motion by Commissioner Frischman, seconded by Commissioner Murphy to close the Public Hearing. Approved 7-0. Motion by Commissioner Fynewever, seconded by Commissioner Murphy, to approve staff recommendation as revised. Approved 7-0. (B) Global Academy and United Theological Seminary request a Preliminary and Final Plat and Special Use Permit in order to subdivide the parcel at 3000 5th Street NW into two lots on one block, to permit operation of a 480-student Pre-Kindergarten thru eighth grade school throughout all the existing buildings, to remove the chapel at the southwest corner of the building and replace with a newly constructed half-size gymnasium measuring 92’ x 57’, and preservation of the existing student dormitory.
