Members present were Hal Bailey, Mike Cameron, Donna DeKraai, Greg Fargen, Alan Gregg, Al Heuton, John Sydow, Kristi Tornquist, and Avery. Others present were Community Development Director Mike Struck, and Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson. Avery introduced Kristi Tornquist who will be completing the unexpired term of John Gustafson. Item #4 – Hanson summarized the proposed changes to the conditional use permit process. Applications would still be heard by the Planning Commission in the same manner as before. However, non-controversial applications would not proceed on to the City Council unless an appeal was filed. This would streamline the process and reduce the time it took to approve a conditional use by six to eight (6 – 8 weeks). Applicants or neighbors who were dissatisfied with the Planning Commission’s decision could appeal to the City Council. Heuton asked if the language in Section 94-226 referred to the established standards for each conditional use. Hanson replied yes. Heuton added that it was important to include findings of facts in the Commission’s decisions. Bailey supported the amendments and felt it would be beneficial for citizens to have a streamlined process. The meeting was adjourned. ______________________ __________________________ Dan Hanson, Secretary Wayne Avery, Chairperson Planning & Zoning Administrator
