inspection station, we would recommend adding a condition in again similar to that original permit condition. Basically, I can suggest some wording if the Commission is open to that. UNGER: Yeah, can you – oh, go ahead Carr Smith. CARR SMITH: Can I ask a quick question? JACKSON: Sure. CARR SMITH: What was the complaint? JACKSON: The complaint was – let’s see here – okay, we actually received three complaints, two in January of this year and one in May, and they alleged that the applicant was providing vehicle safety inspections open to the public, repairing and modifying vehicles without a license, operating an auto detailing business, storing fuel behind the office, and dumping used motor oil in the ground, and selling wrecked vehicles. The Planning Department inspectors went out and did a site inspection in, it looks like February, late February, and they confirmed that the auto detailing business had ceased, that there were no auto repairs being done, and the safety inspection activity had ceased. And, they informed the applicant that the inspection station activity can continue until such time that a Special Permit amendment is denied. So, the Department allowed the inspection station to continue while it was going through the Special Permit process at the Commission. If the Commission approves it, then it would continue; if they deny the use, then obviously it would, it would have to cease. However, since that time, the State Department of Transportation suspended the inspection station license, so I believe the applicant is not currently operating that inspection station. CARR SMITH: Does the existing Special Permit allow for him to store fuel? JACKSON: I’m going to ask the applicant to answer that. I’m thinking that when he gets the vehicles, he removes any fuel so that it won’t drip onto the ground. So, that may be a requirement of his State Solid Waste Management Permit that he stores fuel that was in the, the vehicles, but I’ll have him answer that question. CARR SMITH: Sorry, go ahead with your recommendation. JACKSON: And then the, this morning you also should have received a handout from the applicant; this is suggested language to amend Condition 4. Basically, it’s to remove the language stating that a Final Plan Approval shall be secured and the building permits finalized, and instead, saying the inspection station operation shall commence as of the date that the State DOT reinstates the Inspection Station No. 360. So, I did speak with the Planning Director, and we would be agreeable to adding that language but not removing the language that the Director is recommending for Condition 4. And that concludes my presentation. I’d be happy to answer any questions. 4 EXHIBIT B
