6. Public Hearing – Application for a Variation to reduce parking by up to 20% for an O’Reilly Auto Parts retail store: 27101 W Eames Street filed by O’Reilly Auto Enterprises, LLC.
Motion to open the public hearing made by Commissioner Thurlby. Seconded by Commissioner Ciarlette. All Ayes, Motion Carried.
Mike Petrick presented the staff report.
Chairman Blackburn asked about the parking spaces.
Bobby Dietz, BFW Engineering, representing O’Reilly Auto Enterprises, LLC said the 32 parking spaces will never be used at the same time. Auto part customers are normally in and out of the store quickly so parking should not be an issue.
Commissioner Weaver asked if they know who will be the general contractor yet.
Dietz stated O’Reilly Auto Parts typically use one of 3 general contactors for their locations. The subcontractors would be hired locally.
Thurlby asked about the deliveries.
Dietz said all deliveries are after hours. The deliveries are only made by O’Reilly Auto truck driver employees and he feels they are more conscientious when delivering.
The commissioners all agreed the style of the building will fit in well with nearby buildings.
Motion to close the public hearing made by Commissioner Ciarlette. Seconded by Commissioner Thurlby. All Ayes, Motion Carried.
