From the field review and comparison with the Condition of Approval the following issues are identified: • Condition 1b 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 to open covered parking spaces. Phase III the hay bam. Phase IV is for the 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. The field review indicates that there may be one additional cargo container that did not have a building permit; and, some type of shop or repair work is being done outdoors. The Use Classification Systems defines Equipment Sales and Repair as the sale rental servicing and repair farm machinery, heavy equipment, aircraft and the variety of leisure oriented equipment. This classification is further broken down into Farm Machinery Sales and Farm Machinery Repair. Farm Machinery Sales is for the sale rental and minor incidental repair farm machinery. Typical uses would include tractor sales yards. Farm Machine Repair is for the repair of farm implements and equipment. Typical uses included welding shops and tractor repair shops. From these definitions, the sale of cargo trailers, would fall under the use classification of Equipment Sales and Repair-Leisure, which is not permitted In any of the Agricultural zones. The cargo trailers that are being sold are typically used by contractors for storing and transporting tools and equipment. • Condition 1g requires a 10' landscape strip across the frontage of Paradise Avenue and along State Route 205. From photographs at the site it does not appear the landscaping has been installed. • Condition 1j permitted a maximum of two advertising signs, only one of which may be a free standing sign. One free standing sign was approved with a Building Permit, however, there are free standing signs for each of the two entrances, including flags, as well as a number of other signs that are hung on fences. Other than the one permitted signs. All of the signs appear to be in violation of the permit. • Condition 2e requires that Paradise Avenue be widened to a collector road standards with 40' of pavement across the project frontage. I have confirmed with Public Works that the road was widened to forty feet of pavement for a length of 60 feet plus tapers at the project entrance. I hope this information adequately responds to your inquiry. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me. If you so direct, staff will schedule this project for a hearing before the Planning Commission to take whatever action is deemed appropriate including but not limited to restricting the uses on the property or revoking the permit.
