. . Minutes - Plan Commission March 23, 1988 Page 3 consistently parked on the property overnight. Sometimes a tow truck was parked on the property; however, all vehicles parked overnight on the property were there when the business owner left for the evening. He stated that cars parked at the rear of the property in the alley and the constant debris and derelict vehicles were unsightly to neighbors. Bette Strawder of 6806 Plymouth Avenue stated that the same five cars had been parked on the lot during the past week and that the unsightly condition of the property had a deleterious effect on the entire neighborhood. She also stated that sometimes cars were displayed as being "For Sale" on the property. She stated that, to her knowledge, Mr. Buchanan had replaced some plantings along Plymouth Avenue, but they have since died. Mr. Frank Elliot of 6804 Plymouth Avenue stated that the property had been the site of an automobile service station since 1964 and had previously been operated neatly and quietly; however, since Mr. Buchanan has been operating the business, there have been many tow trucks and wrecked cars on the property overnight. He was not in favor of granting the amendment to the Use Permit. Frank Ollendorff, City Manager, informed Commission members that the complaints on and inspections of the property had cost the City many tax dollars in trying to correct violations on the property. He stated that the City had put forth much effort to prevent junk cars and other derelict vehicles from being parked in residential neighborhoods, and the example set by Carriben Auto Repair on the corner of Ferguson and Plymouth did not exemplify the City's efforts in this area. After further discussion, Mr. Marsh moved that the Plan Commission recommend denial of the requested amendment to Conditional Use Permit #219 because of the potential deleterious effect on the surrounding neighborhood. Mr. Kendall seconded the motion. Chairman McCauley called for a discussion on the motion. Mr. Rice asked if the Commission would not sug.est that the applicant could return to the Commission within ninety days without payment of additional fees for consideration of the amendment if the property was brought up to code. Mr. Goldman stated that the fee waiver was not a part of Mr. Marsh's motion and he did not recommend such an option. Chairman McCauley called for a vote on the motion which passed by a vote of 7-0. Mr. Goldman stated to Mr. Nuriddin that the conditions of Use Permit #219 still remained in force and effect in regards to the property at 1163 Ferguson Avenue.
