Thank you, Mr.

2:29

Chair.

2:31

Commission, this uh is a request for a special use permit for uh used used automobile and light load truck sales at 1510 Randolph Street, specifically suite 406 as shown on this picture.

2:45

The applicant is requesting to uh sell uh used automobiles uh out of the suite.

2:52

All the automobiles will be in uh stored indoors at all times.

2:56

Uh other stipulations that staff is recommending um with our um recommendation would be that uh the use will only be allowed at Suite 406.

3:08

The vehicle shall be on drawers, uh the vehicles on site for the purpose of being sold cannot be parked at the street on any time, and no banners inflatable moving products, balloon pennants are sim or other similar types of signs or products shall be permitted on the vehicle inventory or elsewhere outdoors.

3:26

I uh also wanted to touch on uh stipulation D relating to the vehicles being parked on site, cannot be parked at the street at any time.

3:37

The purpose for that um would be that Randolph Street and sp uh specifically is a pretty narrow street to begin with, and any sort of cars being parked on that street would be uh an issue, and particularly with something like truck or car sales, um, just stipulating that they can't have those cars parked on that street would help mitigate any sort of potential traffic issues with the way that Randolph Street, the size being that it is uh other than that, staff is recommending approval with these stipulations, and if you guys have any questions for me, I'd be happy to answer them.

Hey Molly.

4:26

Uh so I noticed you pointed out the item D for the vehicles not being parked on the street at any time, but also notice C also says the vehicles for sale shall be stored in the building at all times.

4:37

Is that due to the amount of space available in the parking area in between those buildings?

Unassigned speaker

4:43

Speaker 5

4:44

that the reason for that?

Speaker 4

4:45

Can you repeat the last part of your question, Commissioner Wintrow?

Speaker 5

4:50

I'm asking is the item C, all vehicles for sale shall be stored in the building at all times.

4:55

Is that because of the available space in the parking?

4:58

When you look at the pictures, there's not a lot of outdoor parking.
