Thursday, June 13, 2002
Room 330 Courthouse
Gerry Strathman, Legislative Hearing Officer
STAFF PRESENT: Jeff Hawkins, LIEP (License, Inspections, Environmental Protecrion)
The meeting was called to order at 10:04 a.m.
Gerry Strathman stated tUis is a hearing to heaz objecrions to the license application for K& C
Auto Repair.
Jeff Hawkins reported there aze four bays at this location. LIEP is recommending nine
conditions for this license. The applicant has signed the conditions, understands them, and
agrees to them. The conditions aze as follows:
1. All vehicles parked outdoors on the lot must appear to be completely assembled with no
major body parts missing.
2. Vehicle salvage is not permitted.
3. Vehicle parts, tires, oil, or similaz items will not be stored outdoors. Trash will be stored
in the dumpster.
4. All customer cars awaiting repair or pickup must be parked in the lot. There shall be no
pazking on the streets or public right of way within the neighborhood.
5. No repair of vehicle on the lot or public right of way. All repairs must be conducted
inside the building.
6. No vehicle sales allowed.
7. No auto body repair allowed.
8. Customer vehicles may not be parked longer than 10 days on the premises.
9. Licensee must comply with a11 federal, state, and local laws.
Mr. Strathman asked did the previous license holder have similar conditions. Mr. Hawkins
responded they had no canditions.
, Mr. Strathman asked was information received from the district council. Mr. Hawkins
responded no. There is just a letter from a citizen.
Jim Connolly, 1332 Arcade Street, appeared and stated there is no lot there. To the south of Ivy
is Farnsworth School property, to the west is Johnson High School. At the end of the a11ey is
where the residential property starts. He has lived at 1332 Arcade for 28 years. One of the
biggest concerns is the sidewalk that comes out of the building is level with the street. A lot of
people think they can pazk on the sidewalk. He has come out of the alley to go west on ivy. If
there are cazs pazked there, he has to swing out onto the other lane. When school is in session,
there are cars pazked there. He has almost been hit when he has pulled out of the alley. When
he and his wife walk that way, they have to walk out into the street. He has told the previous
owner to move the vehicles.

LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES FOR K& C AUTO REPAIR, June 13, 2002 Page 2
Mr. Strathman asked does he have a solution in mind. Mr. Connolly responded people cannot
pazk on the sidewalk. On the south side of Ivy, there should not be parking either. People that
go to 1324 Arcade Street pazk their cars on the south side. The City could ban the parking there.
Mr. Strathman stated parking on the sidewalk is never allowed, but he is uncleaz about the south
side. Mr. Connolly responded it is legal to park on the south side of Ivy street. When cazs aze
pazked there, it is very narrow. It is worse in the wintertime.
Mr. Hawkins stated the side streets aze the same on ivy Street as any other side street. When
there is pazking on both sides, it will be narrower. The parking apron there is flat. If cars aze
pazked parallel along the building, there would still be a three foot wide sidewalk access. He
would not want to add chains because of regular access. There is no ordinance that says people
cannot park there. The pazking situation is not accentuated by the auto repair business.
Mr. Strathman asked about a sign on the building that reads "no pazking on the sidewalk." Mr.
Hawkins responded that would be reasonable to ask of the owner. Mr. Connolly responded that
would be a help.
Mr. Connolly asked where the lot is located. (Mr. Hawkins explained on a map where the lot is
located.) Mr. Connolly went on to say that people have to stay away from the back end of the
east side of the building. That is where the a11ey comes out. If cars are back there, it becomes a
problem when people are coming out of the alley.
Seng Khang, owner, appeared.
Mr. Strathman asked about the parking on the sidewalk. Mr. Khang responded he has not had
people pazking there since he owned the properiy. In the back, he has five to six cazs. Most of
the customer cars are inside the building.
Mr. Strathman asked would he be willing to add a sign about no parking on the sidewalk. Mr.
Khang responded that is fine.
Mr. Strathman stated many of Mr. Connolly's concerns are addressed by the ten conditions the
owner has agreed upon. It appeazs everything Mr. Khang is proposing to do is in compliance
with City Codes and regulations.
Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the license applicarion with the nine conditions as
listed on Page 1, plus Condition 10, which reads as follows:
10. Place signage on the building stating "No Parking on the Sidewalk" by July l, 2002.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:19 a.m.
