Heights Replat 1, generally located on the SW corner of HWY 370 and S Washington Street. The
applicant is TX Papillion, LLC. ( Gold Coast Heights Replat 1 Mixed Use Development Agreement)
MISC- 20- 0013
Chairwoman Hoch opened the public hearing.
Pat Sullivan, 1246 Golden Gate Drive, stepped forward to represent the applicant. He explained
that a Tommy's Express Car Wash wishes to locate on Lot 1, Gold Coast Heights Replat 1. He
stated that this lot was previously purchased by CVS Pharmacy who executed a Mixed Use
Development Agreement with the intention of developing the property. He affirmed that CVS
decided not to build at this location after they partnered with Target. He declared that the current
Mixed Use Development Agreement needed to be rescinded and replaced because it was largely
specific to CVS.
Mr. Sullivan described that access would be provided to Lot 1 via a right-in/ right-out drive on S
Washington Street and a southern full access connection to Bristol Street. He offered a brief
overview of Tommy's Express business model, regional locations, and displayed the proposed
elevations. He noted that the applicant is willing to work with the City regarding acceptable building
materials.
Chairwoman Hoch called for proponents and opponents.
Kevin Lanning, 14005 Industrial Road, stepped forward as a representative of Storage Mart to
express concerns regarding the proposed Bristol Street access, fencing along the shared property
line, and the proposed construction schedule.
Seeing no further input, Chairwoman Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission
Discussion.
Mr. Masters asked the applicant to address Mr. Lanning' s questions. Mr. Sullivan confirmed that
he has been working with general council for Storage Mart throughout the process adding that
such negotiations must not have disseminated throughout the organization. He expressed that
Storage Mart' s access would be improved and that an agreement already exists for fencing along
the shared lot line.
Mr. Keller asked whether the project might create an issue of traffic stacking on S Washington
Street. Mr. Sullivan stated that the entrance to the car was is designed for stacking with three
lanes dedicated for the queue. He displayed the site plan.
Mr. Keller asked whether Tommy' s Express would be a touchless car wash. Mr. Sullivan stated
that it is a soft brush car wash.
Mr. Wilson asked whether there would be a buffer to the west. Mr. Sullivan expressed that much
of the required landscaping has already been installed by Storage Mart. He added that any
additional buffer will meet code.

Mr. Keller asked the applicant to anticipate which access point would be used most frequently.
Mr. Sullivan anticipated that most visitors would utilize the right- in/ right-out on S Washington
Street noting that eastbound traffic would be the most likely to utilize the Bristol Street access
point.
Mr. Keller asked the representative from Storage Mart approximately how many visitors the
business averages daily. Mr. Lanning stated that Storage Mart averages 35 to 40 visits per day.
He added that the facility has limited parking, and the proposed drive modifications would
eliminate two parking spaces.
Mr. Carson asked whether anything would be done to mitigate the noise from the dryers and
vacuum cleaners for the McDonald' s drive- thru. Mr. Sullivan stated that there would likely be some
landscape buffering, but he did not anticipate that the facility would be obtrusively loud.
Mr. Carson noted that the Highway Overlay District prohibits free- standing car washes, and asked
staff to explain why an exception would be made for this project. Mr. Stursma stated that the
prohibition of free- standing car washes has been in code for many years. He noted that many of
these facilities have evolved and are more attractive than the car washes that were being built at
the time of the adoption of said prohibition. He explained that the adoption of a Mixed Use
Development Agreement for the site allows the applicant and the City to supersede that portion
of the code while controlling the design and other concerns. Mr. Stursma stated that it is
appropriate to consider a free- standing car wash at this location.
Regarding access, Mr. Sullivan stated that the Lot 1 is contractually obligated to construct the
Bristol Street access, and noted that the applicant is making a concession to Storage Mart in
regards to the configuration of said access.
With no further discussion, Motion was made by Mr. Carson, seconded by Mr. Hrabik, to
recommend approval of the Rescission and Replacement of the Gold Coast Heights Replat 1
Mixed Use Development Agreement ( MISC- 20- 0013) because it is generally consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, compatibility to adjacent uses and the desire for a mixed use corridor along
Highway 370, contingent upon the resolution of staff comments. Roll Call: Seven yeas, no nays.
Motion carried.

Lori Dover, 526 N Jefferson Street, stepped forward to express concerns regarding medical waste
and traffic at the site. She noted that she demolished the house that was previously on this lot;
however, she is considering building another home.
Seeing no further input, Chairwoman Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission
Discussion.
Mr. Keller asked Ms. Dover to clarify the location of her property. Ms. Dover explained that her
property backs up to the Erlbacher' s property. Mr. Masters asked for confirmation that the lot was
currently empty. Ms. Dover answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Keller asked the applicant to explain how they dispose of medical waste. Mr. Erlbacher stated
that the business utilizes bulk chemicals that are precisely weighed, noting that the entire amount
is utilized in the final product. He stated that because of the precision required, there is little to no
medical waste. He confirmed that any medical waste would be disposed of properly.
Mr. Keller asked the applicant to estimate how much traffic the use would generate. Mrs.
Erlbacher explained that she receives deliveries from FedEx or UPS once to twice a week. She
added that she takes outgoing products to a shipping facility, and that pick- ups are by appointment
only because the end product is made to order.
