Lawrence agreed to cooperate with Council should any problems with neighboring tenants arise in '.' the future. Davidson commented that he feels a piano studio is the type of business that will draw people into downtown Louisville and Council is trying to attract businesses that can draw evening traffic. Howard moved that Council approve Resolution No. 31, Series 1998 - Special Review Use for the Laura Lee and Melanie Lawrence Piano Studio at 908 Main Street without restrictions, seconded by Keany. Sisk offered a friendly amendment to add a note that the Special Review Use is applicable to the Laura Lee and Melanie Lawrence Piano Studio, accepted by Howard and Keany. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 7-0 vote. RESOLUTION No. 32, SERIES 1998 - SPECIAL REVIEW USE FOR TRUCKfTRAILER RENTALS - THE INKEEPER SUBDIVISION - 1200 LOCK STREET Davidson called for staff introduction. Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated the applicant is requesting a Special Review Use for aU-Haul franchise. Trucks and trailers would be stored within an area approved for outside storage per the existing PUD development plan, specifically in the area designated for future mini-storage buildings. The area proposed for rental vehicle storage will not encroach into the 15-foot setback as shown on the Special Review Use plans. Building permits for two of the four future buildings in the area designated for outdoor storage have been issued, causing the area permitted for outdoor storage to become smaller. The applicant has agreed to a Planning Commission condition that this Special Review Use approval, if authorized, shall terminate when the property owner or his successors apply for building permits to construct either or both of the remaining approved future mini-storage buildings. The initial rental fleet provided by U-Haul consists of approximately one rental truck and three rental trailers. U-Haul averages 4 trucks and 6 trailers per site and the applicant estimates the maximum number of rental trucks and trailers on the site to be nine each. The applicant has agreed to limit the number of trucks and trailers stored on site at any time to nine each. No change in business hours or additional signage is proposed for this use. The Coal Creek Trail is approximately 215-feet from the rental vehicle storage area at its closest point. Mini-storage building number four, located along the southern end of the property, has already been built and thus provides significant screening from a trail user's vantage point. Staff does not believe this use will require additional parking spaces above the seven spaces already provided on-site. Planning Commission recommended approval of the application with six conditions. All conditions have been met with the applicant's revised plans. A recommendation of approval, without condition, is forwarded for Council consideration. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. 6
