SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Alan Gregg called the regular meeting of the City Planning
Commission to order on March 2, 2010, at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City
Hall. Members present were Wayne Avery, Mike Cameron, Donna DeKraai, Greg
Fargen, Al Heuton, Dave Kurtz, and Gregg. Larry Fjeldos and John Gustafson were
absent. Also present were Cliff Kurtz, Cyle Wooten, City Engineer Jackie Lanning,
Community Development Director Mike Struck, and Planning and Zoning
Administrator Dan Hanson.
Item #3 – Cyle Wooten, owner of the property, was present for questions. Heuton
noted that the business plan indicated that two to three crews with two to three
persons per crew would begin the operation. He asked what the maximum number
of employees would be. Wooten replied that five crews would likely be the
maximum. If the business grew larger, he would relocate to a business property.
Kurtz inquired about vehicular traffic to and from the residence. Wooten responded
that the crew leader would pick up and drop off supplies in the morning and
afternoon, respectively. DeKraai inquired about on-site parking. Wooten replied
that one space in the garage, one in front, and two on the side of the driveway
were available.
Avery asked who lived at the residence. Wooten replied himself and two
roommates. Fargen asked about the supplies. Wooten answered that they would
be non-corrosive and non-flammable. Kurtz inquired if there would be any on-site
sales. Wooten replied no.
Avery was concerned that there were too many employees for a home
occupation. He felt the neighborhood would be affected negatively by this use. He
pointed out that the ordinance restricts employees to those living on-site along with
one non-resident. Heuton concurred and added that any future expansion would
further impact the neighborhood. Cameron felt the business was more suited for a
commercial district.
Item #4 – Cliff Kurtz, owner of the property, stated he wanted to establish a stable
on his lot for a Welsh pony. He had a BS degree in Animal Science so care and

maintenance would not be a problem. He showed several photos of his property
and nearby properties. The stable and corral would be in the southeast corner next
to a drainageway and open space.
DeKraai was concerned about the potential for manure to enter the
drainageway. Kurtz stated the land was flat, and he could landscape to make sure
any runoff stayed on his property. DeKraai recommended that, if approved, the
Conditional Use should be limited to the applicant. Cameron concurred and felt
only one horse should be permitted.
Item #5 – Hanson noted that the proposed ordinance was deferred from the
February meeting. The Commission had requested a modification that would
eliminate off-site parking for low and medium-density residential uses. The revision
would require that all minimum parking spaces be on the same lot as the use.
The meeting was adjourned.
