SPR-03-2015/Request for a Site Plan Review and Building Aesthetic Review/Dick Huvaere Land/66629 Gratiot Avenue City Planner Jeschke informed the Commission that the applicant was proposing a 648 square foot addition and façade changes to an existing auto dealership on 5.48 acres located at 66629 Gratiot Avenue. The building addition lies completely within the existing building envelope and should be minor in nature. The façade update will be more in line with the Dealership on Main Street. The applicant is proposing to remove a very small turf area directly in front of the building, and replacing it with a sidewalk which currently does not exist along the front of the building. Chuck Fosse, the architect for the project, informed the Commission that the proposed improvements would be mostly cosmetic in nature and bring the property more in-line with the City’s ordinance. Motion by Rix, seconded by Kaminski, to approve the requested Site Plan Review and a Building Aesthetic Review for a proposed 648 square foot addition and façade changes to an existing auto dealership (Dick Huvaere’s Richmond Auto Body) on 5.48 acres located at 66629 Gratiot Avenue (APN: 50-07-06-12-201-019), subject to the following condition: 1.
