MARQUARDT PROPERTY (VW Dealership)
Those representing this project were:
Mr. C. W. Marquardt, Jr. - owner of dealership
Mr. J. L. McCabe, Attorney
Mr. McCabe reported that they had a second draft of the annexation agreement,
and that it met the requirements of the Commissioners. He stated that his
only hesitation was on the limitation of sales and service of trucks not
exceeding 11/2 tons. He also stated that after reviewing the ordinance several
times it appeared that the B-3 zoning presented problems. Some of the
difficulties on B-3 would be the amount of off street parking required per
each 1 ,000 ft. area of retail floor space. He felt that the B-4 zoning hit
upon their exact purposes. He indicated that he would like to change their
petition to a B-4 zoning with a variance.
Mr. Marquardt addressed the Commission and stated that he would like to build
a building adaptable to service of domestic cars. He stated that he is also
interested in obtaining a truck franchise from General Motors. He informed
the Commissioners that Mr. Taggart had requested that he erect an 8' cyclone
fence to separate the automobile dealership from the golf course.
Commissioner Haarr questioned the fact that he could put up an 8' fence, because
he belte4es the fence ordinance states that it can only be 6' high. Commissioner
Haarr suggested that Mr. Marquardt speak with Mr. Bill Dettmer in this connection.
Mr. Marquardt stated that some of the trucks he would handle from the General
Motors Franchise would probably run up to 4 tons. Commissioner Haarr stated that
`►� he saw no problem in regard to the sales of trucks up to 4 tons.
