The final plat includes combining four lots into one lot for the existing Willis Auto site. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request at their meeting on July 23, 2019, and recommended approval: Approval of a Final Plat for Willis Used Auto City Planner, Melissa DeBoer, introduced the request for approval of a preliminary plat, final plat, and site plan for Willis Used Auto, as submitted by the applicant Willis Auto. The subject property is located south of Hickman Road and west of 4th Street, containing approximately 1.28 acres. The property is zoned C-1, Community and Highway Service Commercial District. Mrs. DeBoer advised that the site currently consists of four lots. Two of the lots were previously single-family homes. The lot located at the northeast corner, consisted of one small commercial building, and the lot along the west side of the site is what remains today. The existing building onsite is used as the sales office for Willis Auto and will remain. All of the other buildings on site have been demolished. The proposed final plat would combine the four lots into one large lot. The site plan includes paving a parking lot to be used as a sales display lot for vehicles. The site plan shows the possibility of expanding the existing building in the future. This would require separate site plan approval at that time. Mrs. DeBoer explained that the proposed sales display lot includes 72 parking spaces, bringing the total parking spaces for sales display to 94 spaces. The applicant is proposing to make several improvements to the site including: a new five-foot wide sidewalk along 4th Street, repaving the existing approach on Hickman, paving a new approach on 4th Street, paving the existing gravel lot on the south side of the building, adding landscaping to meet the landscaping requirements, and installing additional lighting throughout.
