He stated that he has been operating his hot dog cart business at the corner of Stewart Avenue and Columbus in Medford. He and his wife would like to move the cart to Central Point as his business has really decreased at the Medford loca- tion since the completion of the McAndrews railroad overpass. Also he would like the business closer to their home in Central Point. Mr. Sullivan stated that they have invested $25,980 into the hot dog vending business and would rather relocate than cut the quality of their product to compensate for the- City of Central Point Planning Commission Meeting September 2, 1986 - 7:00 p.m. Page 2 drop in sales they are experiencing in Medford. Mr. Sullivan also stated that they would like to improve the vacant lot next to the Bi-Mor Station where they are proposing to locate, but do not intend to pour a slab unless it is neces- sary due to the cost. He stated that his business will not involve any perma- nent hook-ups and the cart will be taken home each night. They intend to set up sandwich board signs and operate the business from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. six days a week. The owners of the property are prepared to enter into a three-year lease with the Sullivans for the use of the lot. Mr. Sullivan also stated that his business has a good record with the State Health Department. Commissioner Piland asked if the owners of' the Chinese restaurant on the other side of the lot have given their approval to locating the cart in that loca- tion. Mr. Sullivan stated that the restaurant owners did not raise any objec- tions as they have another driveway access to their business. Mr. Sullivan stated that his hot dog cart business would only occupy 50 feet of the lot. No one else came forward to speak in favor of or against the application. Chairman Ellard closed the public hearing. Commissioner Piland asked if the concrete slab would have to be constructed according to any specific standards. Mr. Paul stated that the Planning Commis- sion could impose requirements as they deem necessary. Discussion followed with the Commissioners agreeing that whether or not the slab was poured would only affect Sullivans' business so it would not be necessary to require the slab. Commissioner Piland made a motion to pass Resolution No. 119, A Resolution' Approving a Conditional Use Permit to Allow a Mobile Food Vending Cart at 16 North Front Street in a C-5 Zone, and that the concrete slab indicated on the applicants' site plan (Exhibit E) be optional.
