PC 11-2023: Hubbartt; Request for a Conditional Use Permit for the

Creation of a Used Car Lot Located at 734 N. 8th Street pursuant to

15.270(3)a.

P. Braun provided an overview of the location and project. He stated that

the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is for auto sales. He also stated that the

petitioner would perform some minor auto repair work at the location but

that use is permitted in the B-3 zoning district. He said that the conditions

state that up to 11 vehicles at any single time can be on the exterior of the

site, of which only 7 vehicles can be on display for used vehicle sales. The

proposed operating hours will be Monday through Friday from 7am to 5pm.

He added that the applicant needs the approval from the City before he

seeks a sales permit from the State.

Acting Chairman J. Brey asked the Commissioners for questions.

D. Diedrich suggested an extension of the hours of operation from

7am-6pm to better align with people who work to be able to complete a

transaction.

Conversation ensued among members.

Acting Chairman J. Brey opened the Public hearing.

Emmett Wagner, 728 N. 8th Street. He stated he has concern with any

used car lot because they tend to grow. He asked if there are vehicle

restrictions in the permit. P. Braun stated yes, up to 7 used cars at a time.

D. Diedrich clarified up to 11 vehicles allowed at a time, of the 11 only 7

vehicles can be for sale. Mr. Wagner stated that the site has improved

since Hubbartt took ownership of the property.

Mike Cisler, 735 N. 8th Street. He stated he had concerns with noise from

air tools; the previous operator would use the air tools at all hours of the

day. As long as hours of operation and noise limitiations are listed in CUP

he is comfortable with the proposed use.

Nancy Hubbartt , 1015 W Crescent Drive. She stated she is representing

the applicant, Ray Hubbartt. She said she will alert them of the concerns

stated by Mr. Wagner and Mr. Cisler. She stated that she is confident the

petitioner will be a good neighbor.

P. Braun read the condition about the decibel level and stated that it tries to

address any noise issues. He added that the maximum number of cars for

sale is 7, but 11 total vehicles is intended for flexibility for parking for

employees or cars being serviced.

Motion to approve with amendment to 7am-6pm hours of operation.

Moved by Steinbrenner, seconded by Diedrich, that the Request for a Conditional

Use Permit for the Creation of a Used Car Lot Located at 734 N. 8th Street be
