<br />Public Hearin2 <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt called the public hearing to order at 7: 14 p.m. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />Management Intern Gladhill explained First Class Auctions & Events is now known as Monster <br />Auctions & Events. He stated they have submitted an application for an Interim Use Permit <br />(!UP) to allow several outdoor special events on the seventeen-acre parcel located at 7550 <br />Highway 10 NW (Diamonds Sports Bar and Grille). A similar request was submitted by the <br />owner of Diamonds Sports Bar & Grill on the same property in late 2007. This most recent <br />applicant by Monster Auctions & Events represents a separate, less intensive set of proposed uses <br />and events by the current property owners. The maximum duration of an Interim Use Permit is <br />five (5) years from the date of approval, unless otherwise approved by the City Council. <br /> <br />Although this new request is within one (1) year of the previous application, staff and the City <br />Attorney have. determined that the application varies enough from the previous request that this <br />new !UP application can be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council. <br /> <br />The special events are proposed to include: <br /> <br />a. Small scale events including Farmer's Markets, Flea Markets, Car Shows, and family- <br />friendly events (up to twenty (20) per summer) <br />b. Large-Scale Implement Auctions (boats, cars, etc.) and Swap Meets (up to ten (l0) per <br />summer) <br />c. Rodeos/bull riding (up to two (2) per summer) <br />d. Threshing Shows (up to two (2) per summer) <br /> <br />The applicant has stated that all events will be held within the softball fields as shown on the <br />proposed Site Layout exhibit. Staff believes that since the motocross element has been <br />eliminated from this request, the proposed land use is more appropriate than the previous request. <br />If approved all necessary permits, excluding a Special Events Permit, will continue to be required <br />of the applicant as needed. Annually, a calendar of events will be required of the applicant and a <br />detailed. proposal of each event will be required to be reviewed by the City Clerk no later than <br />two (2) weeks prior to the event. <br /> <br />Initially, no permanent structures are being proposed, and tents will be used occasionally. If the <br />applicant decides an additional permanent accessory structure is needed, a site plan review and <br />building permit will need to be applied for. <br /> <br />The events proposed in the !UP will be separate from events held by Diamonds Sports Bar and <br />Grille. These two users do have the potential for overlap of events. Staff has requested the <br />applicant supply the City with a detailed calendar of events proposed for the entire site. Any <br />special events held outdoors already not specifically stated in the subject property's existing <br />Conditional Use Permit (CUP) will need a Special Events Permit. <br /> <br />Planning Commission / March 6, 2008 <br />Page 4 of 21 <br /> <br />P4 <br />
