Commission approves rebuilding plan for fire‑damaged auto dealership at 408 West Sunset Drive, requires dumpster behind building
Summary
The commission approved the site and architectural plans to rebuild an auto dealership destroyed by fire at 408 West Sunset Drive, subject to staff conditions and a new requirement the dumpster be placed behind the building (not visible from Sunset).
Plan commissioners unanimously approved revised site and architectural plans to rebuild a fire‑damaged auto dealership at 408 West Sunset Drive and directed that the dumpster be placed behind the building so it is not visible from Sunset.
Staff described a revised layout that preserves fire access clearances and relocates vehicle display areas to maintain roughly 20 feet of emergency access; staff recommended approval with conditions including an updated site plan, engineering concurrence and a prohibition on parking outside of approved display/parking areas. Owner Jim Tesmer confirmed there is an existing dumpster currently located on an adjacent property and discussed the feasibility of relocating or memorializing a cross‑property agreement for an enclosure behind the building.
The commission approved the plan unanimously with the additional condition requiring the dumpster to be placed behind the building; staff will verify final site plans and coordinate any necessary easement or cross‑property agreements with neighboring property owners.
