for Custom Auto Refinishing / Christopher Lee Concrete Studios located in the SW ¼ of
Section 17 (Tax Key No. 2228.999.009 / S83 W19024 Saturn Drive). This item was on the floor
and deferred. Assistant Plan Director Wolff stated that there are a number of outstanding
issues that have not been addressed. A site inspection was conducted on August 25 by the
Planning Staff. There were vehicles awaiting service being stored in the parking area and on
the grass. Revised site plans have been submitted and are being reviewed by the Engineering
Department. However, striping plans for the parking area and details for fencing were not
included in the submittal. The revised landscape plan has been reviewed and approved.
Petitioner addressed the Commission stating that he has removed six vehicles and has
everything parked on asphalt. Petitioner’s representative stated that he will submit the original
City approved striping plan. He was not aware that a fence layout was required. He is
proposing to extend the existing cyclone fence. Discussion ensued regarding the cyclone
fencing with slats. The extended fencing will not be visible from the road and the Commission
was in favor of allowing the slatted cyclone fence for this use. Commissioner Hulbert made a
motion to defer this item to allow the petitioner to address all outstanding issues. Commissioner
Brodel seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 096-2003 was Deferred with a 5-1
