I. TO:Planning C<Mani88ion FROM:Jeanne Mabuath DATE:March 31, 1981 SUBJECT:#608 Mike Mehner, 3398 North Shore Drive Conditional Use Permit Application - Conditional Use Permit Zoning District - B-2 Applicable Ordinances 31.100 31.105 32.480 Non Conforming Uses Discontinued Use for over a year Conditional Use Permits required for non conforming uses The applicants plan to operate a full service station and a marine fueling and towing service. The proposed use will be at the same level of operation as of the previous owner. A conditional use permit is reoulred because a service station is considered a non conforming use in the B-2 zoning district. As the planner's letter of September 10, 1980, states the original conditional use permit for the non donforming use expires if the use was vacated for over a year. The Union Oil Company representative had asked for special consideration noting several reasons in his responding letter of October 7, 1980. The Marina Committee will review the applicant's marina lisence application at their meeting of April 8, 1981. The files have no record of a formal conditional use permit being issued to the previous owner for the service station operation. There is no record of complaints from neighboring property owners. In fact, we've had residents coming in to complain that the City roust be making it impossible for a service station operation. We assured all that we are con tinually dealing with interested parties but that the economy has been more of a hinderance than the requirements for a conditional use permit review. The Mehners own and operate a full service station in Bloom ington. They plan to buy not lease the operation from Union Oil, The Mehners have been dealy with the Union Oil Company and our staff for the past 6 months. They are fully aware of the limitations of the site in regard to expansion of the service station and the marina operation. They propose no physical changes on the site.
