MINUTES OF THE LEGISLATIVE HEARING
PHI-TECH PERFORMANCE AND TRANSMISSION, 388 COMO AVENiJB
Thursday, November 19, 1998
Room 330, City Hall
Gerry Strathman, I.egislative Hearing Officer
Gerry Strathman called the meeting to order at 3:33 p.m.
Staff Present Lazry Zangs, License, Inspections, Environmental Protection (LIEP)
Dai Nguyen and Quynh Hoang, owners, appeazed.
Michael Samuelson, District 7 Planning Council, appeared and stated the issue is one of visual
blight. Phi-Tech is renting a bay at this location, but Mr. Samuelson had assumed the owners
would be taking the en6re properiy. District 7 recommends adding the following conditions to
the license: 1) No repair work will be done outside of their garage building; 2) The lot be limited
to the number of cars it can have parked on it based on analysis by LIEP; 3) All cars/trucks must
be currently registered; 4) Adequate landscaping and wood privacy fencing be required so the lot
and building can be screened from adjoining neighbors and along Como and Western Avenues.
Larry Zang reported this is an auto repair gazage license. The applicant is renting a space at this
property. Mr. Zangs was not aware of the District 7 Planning Council letter containing
conditions until later. LIEP recommends adding the following conditions to the license: 1) No
repair of vehicles shall take place in the parking lot or on the public right-of-way; 2) Excepting
the vehicle sales display azea, the paved surface east of the building shall be maintained as a
parking lot far customer and employees. All vehicle parts shall be stored inside the building or
in the existing storage yard on the west side of the building.
Mr. Zangs compared District 7's conditions with LIEP's conditions. District 7's Condition 1 is
covered. As for District 7's Condition 2, 388 Como was constructed under another zoning code,
therefore, LIEP cannot apply the current formula for parking under this use. The only time Mr.
Zangs could apply the cunent use is if the owners expanded the building. As for District 7's
Condition 3, if LIEP receives complaints about vehicles that are inoperable and/or unlicensed,
LIEP would question the business about it.
Gerry Strathman asked wouid the conditions be different if he had known about the District 7
conditions earlier. Mr. Zangs responded LIEP's conditions would be the same.
Dai Nguyen stated that some of the cazs in front of his building belong to A-1. In answer to other
questions by Gerry Strathman, Mr. Nguyen responded these A-1 cars have been there for a while,
and it is unknown if they are operable. As for the conditions recommended by L]EP and District
7, work is not done outside, but they will look at the engine. They will not repair the entire
vehicle; diagnostic work is done. Mr. Nguyen is not sure if all cars are registered.

Michael Samuelson was concerned that cars would be parked at this business just for storing
purposes. District 7's Condition 3 would make sure the business does not store junk veYucles.
Since Phi-Tech is the renter of the bay, District 7's Condition 4 would be inappropriate.
However, Mr. Samuelson would like to see a number attached to how many vehicles can be in
the Phi-Tech lot. Larry Zangs responded there is a site plan on file that indicates a parking
arrangement. Mr. Zangs suggested modifying LIEP's Condition 2 to read as follows: Excepting
the vehicles sales display azea, the paved surface east of the building shall be maintained as a
parking lot for customers and employees as provided in the approved site plan.
Michael Samuelson asked was there an agreement in the lease whereby a certain number of
parking spaces belong to Phi-Tech. Gerry Strathman suggested adding a condition specifying the
number of parking spaces. Lany Zangs responded adding a condition like this to the license
would be problematic because he would not know which caz belongs to which business.
Gerry Strathman recommended the license be approved with the following conditions: "1) No
repair of vehicles shall take place in the parking lot or on the public right-of-way. 2) Excepting
the vehicles sales display area, the paved surface east of the building shall be maintained as a
pazking lot for customers and employees as provided in the approved site plan. All vehicle parts
shall be stored inside the building or in the existing storage yard on the west side of the
building." Lany Zangs stated he will provide a site plan to the owners. Dai Nguyen agreed to
these conditions.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:05 p.m.
