ECONOMIC AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM Memo No. 06-186 August 16, 2006 TO: Honorable Mayor Paul Osborne and City Council FROM: Steve Garman, City Manager ,� Dane C. Bragg, AICP, Assistant City Manage� Kathy J. Miller, AICP, Senior Planner�'�'� Greg Crowe, Economic Development Coardinat� SUBJECT: Amend Conditional Use Permit at 2550 North Woodford Street SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the amended conditional use permit that allows for the operation of an auto salvage yard. The City Plan Commission voted 10-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the August 3, 2006 hearing; the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: The subject property contains two parcels. In 1971 a Conditional Use Permit was approved to allow an auto storage yard on the southern parcel. A condition of the original permit was to surround the property with an eight (8) foot site break fence. Currently there is a site break fence along the west, south and east perimeter of the property. The site break fence that surrounds the neighboring property to the north and west is in disrepair and missing in some spots. The requested amendment to the conditional use permit will: 1. Add the northern parcel to the permit allowing the operation of an auto salvage yard on both parcels. 2. Require an eight (8) foot site break fence surrounding the entire salvage yard including the outer boundaries of the combined parcels except the north border that abuts another salvage yard. 3. Require that the site break fence be constructed or repaired and maintained in good condition. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no objectors to the petition at the Plan Commission meeting. STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Greg Crowe at 424-2725 or at gccrowe(a�decaturnet.org. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None -- _ 1
