Motion Carried. General Business Temporary Use – Truck Sales Facility at 490 Heartland Drive Community Development Director, Scott Buening, explained that the business, Oshkosh McNeilus, would like to sell Garbage Trucks from their location at 490 Heartland Drive. This would require a Special Use, as Auto/Truck sales are not allowed in this district under current zoning. They currently sell these trucks out of their Minnesota location and have applied for a dealer’s license in the state of Illinois to allow the sales to be done from Illinois. They would also like to display a few trucks out front of the building, however, will not be selling the display trucks, the trucks displayed will be ones that are already sold and just on display to show what the company does. Because the zoning ordinance does not allow for such sales it will need to be amended and then the special use granted. At this time, the petitioner is asking that the use be allowed temporarily, for a period of 6 months. Trustee Wolf asked why there would be no sales tax received if the dealership license is issued to this address in the State of Illinois. Director Busing explained that because these type of trucks are exempt from sales tax. The Board expressed concern with allowing sales of autos/trucks in the area, as they would prefer not to see a used car lot open in the area. Director Buening stated that the Special Use can be worded specifically to only allow new vehicles/trucks and to allow only so many to be displayed at one time and any other conditions that the Board may find acceptable. The Board discussed the petitioner’s request and found it acceptable to grant the special use, but asked staff to check on the sales tax issue and to encourage the petitioner to use the Sugar Grove location for their business that does generate sales tax. The Board directed staff to continue the work to amend the zoning ordinance and then the special use as requested. Trustee Johnson moved to approve a temporary Truck Sales Facility at Oshkosh-McNielus, 490 Heartland Drive, for a period of no more than six (6) months and with the provision that the trucks, trailer and vehicles for sale shall not be displayed closer to the street than the front line of the building. Trustee Geary seconded the motion. President Michels called for any further discussion and hearing none asked that the roll be called.
