Hearing was continued from the July 14, 2005 public hearing.  The applicant was directed to respond back with a compliance plan for the  meeting which would: Show how the applicant would propose to park and screen vehicles  outside an enclosed structure which are awaiting repair. Reflect where such vehicles would be parked during construction of the  new building. Staff had communicated to Stewart Architecture the need for the plan, its contents  and the desire to receive that for incorporation into the meeting packet. The applicant did not respond with such a plan. The applicant also did not respond to any of the recommended conditions of approval. The new building is to be used primarily for brake and muffler repair.  At this time, there is no limitation on the PUD which would prevent the building  from being used for auto body repair. The applicant is proposing to complete an expansion of the current auto body  shop by 1,850 SF.
