-... :t o ~' Public Hearing Special Use .Permit, SP-61 June 24, 1975 8:06 PM . Request: Approval of Special Use Permit to Allow Operation of Sales and Leasing Office, Garage and Parking Area for Semi-trailers Applicant: Dahlke Trailer Sales, Inc. Location: SE Quadrant of 5th Ave. ~d and 5th St. NW Discussion: The property in question is zoned I-I, Light Industrial. The property to the south and east' is also I-L Across 5th Ave. to the west the property is I-2, Heavy Industrial. To the north the area is zoned R-l andR-2. The applicant is requesting a special use permit to use the property in question for the conduct of his business because his business is not among the listed uses of property for an I-l district.. Uses which are not specifically listed can only be permitted by means of a special use permit. The proposed use is similar to others in a light industrial district which involves the presence and traffic of many large trucks and trailers. In this regard, similar uses permitted in the ,I-l district are truck yard, truck terminal, warehouse, packing and crating establishments. The traffic generated by the use should not be a problem because this site is located on two major streets which are already established truck routes. The use, therefore, seems to be one. which is generally compatible with I-I zoning. In this particular location, while the use may be generally compatible with the zoning, the character of the site development is of great importance. It is necessary to provide adequate buffering, primarily visual, between this use and the residential area to the north in order to.prevent any, detrimental affect on this older, but still sound neighborhood. The character of the buffering which should be provided on the site is still under discussion by the planning Commission and has not been the subject of a recommendation,by them as yet.
