He noted that opaque <br />screening is required by code at the 1955 Shoreline <br />Drive site. He felt that the Spates Ave. access should <br />be closed because it is a residential street and County <br />Rd. 15 should be utilized for this commercial use. He <br />felt there should be some form of 24 hour security. He <br />asked where a crosswalk would be located. Mr. Rovegno <br />also contends that the gas station becoming a sailboat <br />shop, as well as the proposed adjacent parking lot, is a <br />use variance. <br />Regarding the use variance issue, City Attorney Blatz <br />stated that if it is determined that the change in use <br />would be deemed a use variance the code would have to be <br />amended or some changes made, the City cannot legally <br />grant use variances. <br />Regarding the crosswalk location, this must be <br />determined by the City Engineer. <br />Regarding 24 hour security, Mr. Love stated that they <br />are willing to do what the City recommends and allows <br />them to do. He noted that their original application <br />included a caretaker unit but have since omitted that <br />portion because it is not an approved use. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson recommended that this <br />be addressed as a separate issue. <br />Mr. Rovegno stated there should be some type of security <br />to the entrances and accessing the property. <br />►0 <br />
