• • <br />• <br />Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte Zoning Board <br />of Adjustment <br />November 17, 1983, Page 2 <br />but since no permanent improvements had been made to the site <br />when the ordinance-was amended, they were placed in the situa- <br />tion of being in an illegal, non-conforming use, which places <br />them in violation of the zoning ordinance. They started <br />their office in the 900 block of First Street, and again, in <br />running the business, have had some trucks there, which again <br />places them in violation of the zoning ordinance. They now <br />request that Block 1141 have a special use permit to allow <br />the operation of their dump truck terminal and repair facility. <br />Herman's Trucking proposes to improve the "L" Street right- <br />of-way from 16th to Block 1141, to access this, as per other <br />City policies. Staff recommends the Special Use Permit be <br />granted. <br />Motion was made by Ronnie Rowell to grant the Special Use <br />Permit for a truck terminal and. repair facility within an <br />Industrial zone. Second by Robert Swanagan. The motion <br />carried, 5 ayes and 0 nays. <br />Ayes: Rowell, Mains, Swanagan, Young and Wilson <br />Nays: None <br />4. The Board considered a request from Gordon Westergren for a <br />Special Use Permit to allow a truck terminal within an <br />Industrial zone. <br />Gordon Westergren appeared before the Board to request a <br />Special Use Permit for a truck service facility and a truck <br />terminal in Block 351, Lots 17 through 20, Town of La Porte. <br />Chief Building Official Paulissen reported that Mr. Wester- <br />gren has made application for a building permit. He wishes to <br />build a facility that would service commercial vehicles basic- <br />ally by dispatching tire repair trucks; also minor servicing <br />commercial vehicles if they come to his site - oil changes, <br />etc.; also tire repair. This is industrially zoned property <br />off of North Broadway. Staff's recommendation is that the <br />Special Use Permit be granted. <br />Mr. Paulissen pointed out that in both cases, if the properties <br />in question or the businesses ever change hands, the property <br />will revert to its original classification and the special use <br />permit will be null and void. New applications would have to <br />be made by whoever acquired the property. <br />After questions from the Board had been answered, motion was <br />• made by Charlie Young that a special use permit in an Industrial <br />zone be granted to Gordon Westergren to allow a truck service <br />
