Proponent: Pat Sullivan, Adams & Sullivan, 1246 Golden Gate Dr, Ste 1, briefly explained the
request.
Opponents: Mike Riggle, 312 Sea Pines Dr, stated his concerns
regarding allowing this collision
center to being built so close to a residential area, including concerns about health hazards from
the paint fumes, environmental hazards, noise from the shop, and tow trucks dropping off vehicles
at all hours. Mr. Riggle stated that he thinks the collision center should be in an area zoned
industrial.
Rachel Vargas, 1310 Beaufort Dr, explained her concerns about overall health hazards and
decreased property values in the area. Ms. Vargas explained that she does not oppose a new
company coming into Papillion but does not believe this is a good location for this type of business.
Additional Proponent: Bret Flory, Cross Architects, 1255 E 15t" St, Ste 125, Plano, TX, stated that
he is the Architect for the project and briefly explained the company, how it operates, and what
the proposed project entailed.
Councilmember Sunde asked what need this business has to request a change to the zoning as
opposed to going to a more industrial area. Mr. Flory explained that the zoning already allows
automotive repairs, so the company is requesting an amendment to also allow collision repair.
Mr. Flory added that their shops are very clean and uses a filtration system to eliminate emissions.
Councilmember Sunde asked how the filtration system works. Mr. Flory briefly explained the
filtration system. Councilmember Sunde asked what would happen if the doors were left open.
Mr. Flory stated that the paint booth is contained within the shop and would shut off automatically
if doors are open, which is a State requirement.
Councilmember Engberg asked Mr. Gibbons if this request is for an additional permitted use
within the zoning. Mr. Gibbons explained that the zoning right now is Mixed Use but that the
permitted uses established for that district in 2007 excluded body repair services, so the request
is to add that use classification.
Councilmember Fanslau asked how long the Saicozero filtration system has been in the industry
and why it is not used in all of the company' s shops. Mr. Flory explained that the system has only
been around for a few years.
Councilmember Fanslau asked what policies are in place regarding tow truck drop- offs. Mr. Flory
explained that the company would enter into a contract with the local towing companies to store
a vehicle in need of repairs at their own secure lot until the next business day when the vehicle
can be towed in.
Councilmember Mumgaard asked for more information on the Saicozero filtration system. Mr.
Flory explained the regulations for body shops, how the paint booths within the shop are operated,
and how the filtration system works.

August 15, 2023
Councilmember Stubbe asked if the company' s stores are corporate owned or franchises. Mr.
Flory stated that they are all corporate owned. Councilmember Stubbe asked if it was fair to
assume that because the stores are corporate owned there are a lot of controls in place regarding
operation. Mr. Flory confirmed that is correct.
Councilmember Stubbe asked how the noise levels would be addressed. Mr. Flory stated that a
noise study was conducted and found that the noise coming from the traffic on the streets around
the building was louder than the noise coming from inside the building as long as doors were shut
and work was being done inside the building.
Councilmember Stubbe asked what one can expect to see with the storage parking area. Mr.
Flory stated that vehicles are stored behind an opaque fenced area so that damaged cars are not
visible. If an insurance company deems a car totaled, that car will be removed within 24 hours
and hauled to a salvage yard. Councilmember Stubbe asked if all the landscaping shown is
required by the City. Mr. Gibbons explained that there are landscape buffers required as part of
the Mixed Use Agreement and for the development itself.
Councilmember Gaines asked what the minimum standard in the industry is when discussing the
four -filter filtration system. Mr. Flory briefly explained that state requirements are more restrictive
than federal requirements for the filtration system. Councilmember Gaines asked what emissions
are allowed at this location if the four -filter filtration system was not used. Mr. Flory stated that he
did not know the exact number and explained how emissions are measured. He stated that the
proposed painting booth, with the Saicozero filtration system, exceeds the EPA standard by 99%,
as it includes a carbon filter.
Mayor Black explained that common practice is for everyone to have one chance to speak at the
podium, but when there is opposition the applicant is allowed a two -minute rebuttal.
Rebuttal: Mr. Sullivan explained that the Mixed Use Agreement has a lot of requirements that the
company has followed and added that he believes this facility has with a state of the art system
to control emissions. Mayor Black thanked Mr. Sullivan for his comments and closed the public
hearing.
Motion to approve RES. R23- 0133 by Councilmember Engberg, second by Councilmember
Glover. Mayor Black called for council discussion.
Councilmember Mumgaard asked Mr. Riggle back to the podium and asked for more information
regarding his concerns because the company is stating that they meet all standards and
requirements. Mr. Riggle explained that in his experience, the filters in the system get clogged
over time and not changed, which can cause issues including health hazards. Councilmember
Mumgaard thanked Mr. Riggle and asked Mr. Gibbons why the City Code draws a distinction
between auto services and auto body shops and why one requires a Special Use Permit. Mr.
Gibbons explained the distinction between an auto services shop and an auto body shop and
what triggers the body services classification. Mr. Gibbons added that the area is mixed use but
the underlining zoning regulator is CC Community Commercial, and that in that zoning district a
body repair shop requires a Special Use Permit, which is addressed through the Mixed Use
Agreement.
Councilmember Gaines clarified that the agreement does not mandate that the company uses
anything more than state -required filtration. Mr. Gibbons stated that is correct and that it would be
6
August 15, 2023
up to the Council to make higher filtration a requirement, if they choose to. Councilmember Gaines
explained that he was concerned with having an auto body shop near residences when no
information is available about the number of emissions that would be released into the air, no
expert testimony was given on these concerns, and fluids from wrecked vehicles could be
released into the community. He added that he supports this company coming to Papillion but
would like to see them in a different area away from residences and stated that he will be voting
against this.
Councilmember Fanslau clarified that the zoning code is set up for uses to coexist next to each
other with the proper measures in place and asked if this site meets all zoning regulations, site
regulations for CC zoning, and all other requirements. Mr. Gibbons stated that it does.
Councilmember Fanslau asked how the City would handle noise complaints from this use. Mr.
Gibbons briefly explained the noise ordinance and the process for addressing complaints.
Councilmember Fanslau asked if there was 100%
certainty that no wrecked vehicles would be
visible on passing by. Mr. Gibbons explained that
the lot when City Code requires wrecked
vehicles to be obscured from the right- of- way and from passing vehicles, which is why staff
recommended a wall around the back lot and landscaping to provide that coverage.
Councilmember Engberg stated that he does not think it is fair for assumptions to be made that
this company would be bad business partners to the community.
Councilmember Kluch explained that she is concerned with how close this proposed auto body
shop is to residences and believes there is a better location the business can go without needing
a Special Use Permit. She stated that she also has concerns with the spills that are likely to occur
and that for those reasons she will be voting against this item.
Councilmember Sunde echoed the comments made by Councilmembers Gaines and Kluch and
added that he does not think any councilmember would want this type of business 300 ft from
their own homes. He added that he does not think it is fair for a business to come in and ask the
City to change its rules for their benefit without providing a scientifically -backed presentation and
that he will be opposing this.
Councilmember Engberg stated that he would have more concern with this company coming to
this location if there was not already an auto repair shop, brake shop, a gas station, and other
businesses already there. He added that he believes the auto body shop is less risky than some
other shops already there and that he will be supporting this.
Councilmember Stubbe noted that the Staff Report states that the Mixed Use Agreement process
is similar to a Special Use Permit process and clarified that process. He then asked what happens
when a business with a special use leaves the location. Mayor Black explained that can be
determined with the Special Use Permit, which can be tied to either the business or the property.
Councilmember Stubbe stated that based on what has been presented the company seems to
have a successful operation; however, he is concerned with what may happen if this business
leaves and another similar business locates there.
Councilmember Kluch asked whether in this instance the use is tied to the business or the
property. Mr. Gibbons explained that the special use is specific to Lot 2 only. Councilmember
Kluch asked if Council can make the special use specific to the company.
Motion to amend by Councilmember Engberg to make the special use specific to Caliber Collision,
second by Councilmember Stubbe. Councilmember Sunde asked Councilmember Engberg if he

would accept a friendly amendment to his motion to amend that would limit the Special Use Permit
to one year subject to review in a year by the City Council if things are not going as promised.
Councilmember Engberg stated that he disagrees with the term and thinks that having the Special
Use Permit specific to the company is adequate. Councilmember Sunde explained that he cannot
support the motion to amend as it is now because he thinks that the company should not have a
problem with a one- year renewal process. Councilmember Kluch stated that she will be
supporting the motion to amend because she believes the special use should be specific to the
company and not the lot.
Councilmember Fanslau asked what happens if the company violates provisions of the Mixed
Use Agreement. Mr. Thelen stated that would be a breach of the Agreement which could result in
the City bringing legal action against them if necessary.
Councilmember Engberg stated that he would like to add to his motion to amend a requirement
for use of the Saicozero filtration system. Councilmember Stubbe stated that he would second
that. Mr. Thelen clarified the motions on the table were the original motion to approve RES. R23-
0133, with a motion to amend to make the special use specific to Caliber Collision, and now an
additional motion to amend to include regulatory requirements. Mayor Black asked if these
motions should be addressed one at a time. Mr. Thelen stated yes.
Mayor Black called for a vote on the motion to amend to add the regulatory component for the
filtration system. Upon roll call vote, Sunde, Mumgaard, Gaines, Glover, Fanslau, Kluch, Stubbe,
and Engberg all voted yes. Voting no: none. Motion passed.
Mayor Black stated they are now back to the original motion to amend, which is to make the
special use specific to Caliber Collision. Upon roll call vote, Sunde, Mumgaard, Gaines, Glover,
Fanslau, Kluch, Stubbe, and Engberg all voted yes. Voting no: none. Motion passed.
