To: Planning Commission From: Tom Gau Sub: SA-95-47 (Remitz) Date: 3-4-99 Page: 2 pavement width of approximately 23 feet. Section 9-605.5(h)(2) of the Development Title requires sales of farm machinery to be located on a minor arterial, which is a four-lane highway with a minimum pavement width of 60 feet. It was determined that Paradise Road is not an adequate roadway for a farm equipment sales project. On June 25, 1996, the Board of Supervisors heard the appeal and voted 3-2 to uphold the appeal and approve Site Approval Application No. SA-95-47 subject to Conditions of Approval. The Board of Supervisors added a condition that Paradise Road be widened to a collector road standard with 40 feet of pavement across the project frontage. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION: Commissioner Stan Morri made an inquiry to the Community Development Department staff because he had been receiving complaints that Site Approval Application No. SA-95-47 was not operating in accordance with the Conditions of Approval. Tom Sweeso, Senior Enforcement Officer, conducted a field review of the Remitz site on Monday, November 30, 1998. A memo was prepared to Commissioner Morn on December 3, 1998. On Tuesday, February 23, 1999, 1 met with Terry Remitz to review the status of the Conditions of Approval and conduct a follow- up field review of the site. The results are as follows: • Condition 1.b. states that the approved use is for farm machinery sales and hay sales and that Phase IV shall be completed prior to April 14, 1999. The application proposed that the use be developed in four phases, as follows: Phase I: Office; Phase II: Two open covered parking spaces; Phase III: Hay barn; and Phase IV: Shop and parking. Building permits have been obtained and finaled for the commercial coach, three cargo containers, and the hay and farm machinery storage structure. There is one additional cargo container that does not have a building permit.
