DMV requires them to be tol have ai rebuilder license in order to sell salvage vehicles at that location and in our zoning ordinance ai rebuilding is aj permitted use in the business heavy commercial zoning districts sO that's the reason for the rezoning request. This area mostly commercial in nature. There was recently a new entrance put in on this property that was permitted by VDOT for the car dealership and served by public water and public sewer.

It is an area designated medium to high residential and it's generally consistent Commissioner Thilking asked why DMV regulates the seller to have the rebuilder's license. Mr. Austin Mitchell responded the building licensure is for purchasing and selling so it'sincluded in Commissioner Gough asked ifthey could rebuild on the location ifthey approved this. Mr. Mr. Thomas Brooks Sr., 404 Clay St, stated he is acting on behalfo ofTimberlake Motors. They opened up aj place on Wards Road about three years ago and did the same thing there. They don't rebuild cars on their site. They have an automotive shop on Wards Road that does the rebuilding.

The property is used currently for a car sales lot. The site plan was approved by the: zoning department and' by the associated agencies. VDOT required a new entrance and close down other entrances.
